The GF X fairway woods round out the KZG wood offerings to five unique models. This broad selection allows the Professional ClubFitter the ability to select the design features they need to perfectly fit their golfers.

GF X Fairway Woods come in RH: #3/15˚, #4/17˚, #5/19˚ and #7/22˚ lofts and LH: #3/15˚, #4/17˚, and #5/19˚ lofts and are a perfect complement to the GFX and GF-Deep Driver models.

Kilmarlic's "K Club" Offers Exclusive OBX Golf and Recreation Benefits for All Ages

(OUTER BANKS, N.C.) — North Carolina’s fabled Outer Banks have earned the reputation of a “family first” destination with enough sand, sun and saltwater to stir the calmest of souls. In recent years, however, OBX has begun to transform itself into a true golf destination offering an array of courses more closely tied to nature’s coastal elements than most along the East Coast.

Today, frequent OBX visitors who seek exclusive golf access and top-shelf perks should look no further than the Kilmarlic Golf Club, where the “K Club” program offers rental homeowners and guests full access to all amenities, with relatively small cost and extraordinary benefits.

Widely considered one of the premier OBX golf experiences, Kilmarlic Golf Club is a Tom Steele design nestled along the marshland of the Albemarle Sound and host course for both the 2004 and 2009 North Carolina Opens and an annual autumn collegiate tournament.

Kilmarlic’s amenity program is designed specifically for rental homeowners on the Outer Banks. Membership in the K Club will allow homeowners the opportunity to enjoy the highly-regarded golf facility at special rates, plus a variety of quintessential OBX experiences that include Corolla Outback Adventure wild horse tours, Kitty Hawk Kite activities, Jeep rentals and shuttle service to Kilmarlic from their rental home.

“The Outer Banks golf experience is one of diversity,” says Kilmarlic’s long-time Director of Golf Bryan Sullivan, PGA, a former North-South Amateur champion and an All-American at the University of North Carolina.

“There are true links-style courses that use the natural sand dunes and ocean breezes as their hazards,” says Sullivan. “Then you have the parkland-style courses on the mainland that use the natural wetlands and maritime forest to carve out great golf holes. The Outer Banks has everything a golfer is looking for when going on a golf vacation – well-manicured courses, great restaurants, a variety of housing options, and unique activities other than golf.”

Positioning has been a big part of Kilmarlic Golf Club’s success since its debut in 2002. The club is located five miles west of the bridge that connects the mainland to the Outer Banks. “In 10 minutes,” Sullivan likes to say, “I can have my feet in the Atlantic.”

Membership in Kilmarlic’s K Club is expected to enhance the value of a member’s rental property through increased occupancy, customer loyalty and added enjoyment of the rental guests, while the individual property also receives advertising and marketing exposure through Kilmarlic GC’s highly-visited web site, www.KilmarlicGolfClub.com.

For those for whom the beaches of the beautiful Outer Banks are not enough, the K Club offers a chance to give them and their guests an enhanced vacation experience — for less than $200 a year.

For information about Kilmarlic Golf Club or the K Club membership visit www.KClubOBX.com or call 855-355-2582.

Mystical Golf Announces ‘Summer 3 Play Tee Time Card’

54 Holes of Myrtle Beach Golf with Cart, Lunch and Two Beers Ideal for Father’s Day Gift

(MYRTLE BEACH, S.C.) – Mystical Golf – owner and operator of The Witch, Man-O-War and The Wizard courses and celebrated by media like Golf Digest, GOLF Magazine and GolfChannel.com – announces the  “Summer 3 Play Tee Time Card” for rounds on each of its acclaimed layouts through Sept. 3.
                                       
Available at Mystical Golf’s three pro shops and online for $118 per person (taxes not included), it features three rounds on what many call the “best 54 holes of pure golf in Myrtle Beach.” It also includes cart, complimentary lunch and two free beers.

“The ‘Summer 3 Play Tee Time Card’ is a perfect Father’s Day present for dads who love to play golf,” says Claude Pardue, President and CEO of Mystical Golf. “Our three diverse courses are an absolute blast to play and all the golf you’ll ever need.”

The Witch sits on 500 acres of tranquil cypress groves and wetlands teeming with flora and fauna. Tactical play is rewarded on the par-71, 6,702-yard layout. With 4,000 feet of bridges wending through swamps (front nine) and rolling hills (back nine), golfers may spy cranes, bald eagles, alligators and black bears.

Man-O-War is revered for its back-to-back island greens and water features touching every hole.  With a commanding 141 slope rating, the par-72, 6,967-yard layout is offset by straight-forward shots and excellent, bent-grass greens.

Reminiscent of classic, wind-swept links courses in Scotland and Ireland, The Wizard presents deep bunkers, mound-framed fairways and dramatic elevation changes. Trademark stone bridges and an Old-World, castle-style clubhouse add character to the par-72, 6,721-yard shot-maker’s course.

Top 50 Instructor Adds Swing Catalyst to His Repertoire

(TRONDHEIM, NORWAY) - Swing Catalyst, the complete swing analysis system used by instructors, coaches and golfers around the world, was recently installed by Golf Digest Top 50 Instructor Kevin Weeks at his renowned teaching facility located at Cog Hill Golf & Country Club in Lemont, Ill.

Kevin Weeks

Weeks specifically installed Swing Catalyst's 3D Motion Plate, as he was wowed by its capabilities. "This is amazing technology that measures parts of the swing in ways video cannot," says Weeks, a three-time Illinois PGA Instructor of the Year. "The integration of video, 3D Motion Plate and ball flight analysis will make lessons more focused and speed up the learning process of my students."

The Swing Catalyst 3D Motion Plate is Swing Catalyst's flagship swing analysis system, offering all the same data as the company's basic

Balance Plate, but with horizontal/vertical force- and torque measurements, as well. Based on these measurements, the system calculates the amount of rotational force generated, and how well the golfer times this force relative to impact. All 3D Motion Plate data is perfectly synchronized with the video images and the data from a ball/club tracking device.

"Having our system in place at a facility like Kevin Weeks Golf Instruction truly helps validate the capability and integrity of our products," says Tom Christian, marketing manager for Swing Catalyst. "Kevin's among the top instructors in America, if not the world, and it's flattering to know he's relying on our equipment to help him better perform his job."
