An Ultimate Golf Product

Being an instructor in golf, we are always attempting to further our education about the golf swing. Trying to keep up with the technology and improvements of the club, the shaft, and the balls can amount to a lot of time reading and studying, going to merchandise shows and seminars by other instructors. The computer has added to the education with the use of simulators that can measure club head speed, ball speed, club face angles, sweet spot hits and many other variables that occur in the golf swing.

One of the first computerized golf instruction CD's introduced is one I have used since 1996 and one of the most valuable resources I own. It is a CD disc that was developed by a company called Parsons Technology, named Fundamentals Of A Model Swing  and is a culmination of golf swings of over 50 golf professionals triangulated and overlayed to create the ultimate golf swing. I really don't know if the disc is still available because its creator, (we'll call him "Bob"), sold Parsons Technology to a company called Intuit, which doesn't have much to do with golf. Anyway, Bob went on to other bigger and better things and founded a company called GoDaddy.Com. He might have a disc in his desk drawer.

If anyone knows where copies this CD are available, please leave your name and email, and a message in my comment box below. If you ever get a chance to view it you will appreciate how valuable of an instructional tool it is.

See you next time, Dale
