If You Can't Stand the Heat...

There are two things this year that are hotter than ever: temperatures and golf. Fortunately for all of us “fair weather golfers,” there are a slew of golf practice tips that you can use in the air-conditioned comfort of your own home… and thank goodness for twilight golf!

One golf practice tip, from LPGA Pro Christine Lovrine, works as well during the blistering summer months as it does in the middle of winter. Lovrine suggests doing exercises for stretching and building back strength, and also suggests swinging a shorter weighted golf club, such as the Momentus Traveler, doing so two to three times per week when you can’t make it to the golf course.
If a weighted golf practice club is not available, you can hold your target-side wrist with the non-target hand and practice your golf swing in a room. Stand on a diagonal facing toward one corner and swing back, about shoulder high, to the room’s opposite corner (fingers and arm point to the corner). Swing through to the “target” corner (again, fingers and arm point to the corner).

This will help promote swinging from and to your intended target as well as ingraining a solid golf swing plane.


Christine Lovrine is an LPGA Pro and instructor at the Britton Golf Course in Fishers, Indiana.

Medicus Lob Wedge for Training or Play

Maximus Weighted Lob WedgeOften times it is hard to bring yourself to purchase a golf training aid when you'd really like to spend the money on a new short iron. Medicus announces the Maximus Weighted Lob-Wedge...a hittable swing trainer that doubles as a USGA-approved regulation Lob-Wedge!

It is a Hittable, Weighted Swing Trainer that drops you automatically into the correct swing plane to build muscle memory and develop accuracy with your swing! Also, because it's weighted, it dramatically improves your club-head speed for more power and distance. It's equally effective to use as your go-to wedge out on the course as it cuts through the grass and is excellent for regulation play.

Use the Maximus Weighted Lob-Wedge effectively as a swing trainer; as a regulation wedge, or to groove your swing in-between holes during a round.
