The new episode of Golf Life starts this Sunday. Another great episode is wrapped up and ready for everyone to watch. We hope you enjoy.

This fall special of Golf Life emphasizes the importance of growing the game with the stories told within the show.  First, Golf Life goes behind the ropes on the PGA TOUR and catches up with an unlikely rookie.  Gary Christian, an ADAMS GOLF staffer, is unlikely for one reason – he was 40 years old when he finally reached the PGA TOUR.  He fought for his spot, worked hard on mini-tours around the world and now he is hoping to make a name for himself on the TOUR and stay there for a long time.  Golf Life also worked with the USGA to collaborate a story about Girls Golf <www.girlsgolf.org> and how the LPGA and the USGA are working together to grow the game of golf, mostly by reaching out to female golfers.  The game of golf is growing amongst woman and Golf Life explores how they are achieving that goal. Golf Life also takes you inside of a modern golf shop and visits a local Edwin Watts Golf shops to show you everything available to golf consumers by visiting a local golf retailer.  Traditionally, a golf store is where you go to buy golf clubs but there is so much visit.  Visit your nearby Edwin Watts golf shop to discover you can get club repair, expert advice, professional club fittings, lessons and so much more.  

Golf Life also caught up with Dee Tidwell of Championship Golf Fitness.  Dee gives us a few types to improve not only our exercise regime but gives us tipes with the golfer in mind.  Dee shows us a few exercises that will help you improve your golf life.  Finally, ever wonder how the pros always have the exact clubs that they need – well we show you how that happens.  Golf Life visited with the guys at Titleist to see what goes in to preparing for the week ahead and the competition.

Enjoy the show.  Let us know your thoughts.

Golf Life’s August episode is all set to premiere this weekend all across the country.  Another great show all wrapped up and ready for your viewing pleasure. The August episode features a behind the scenes look at the recent U.S. Women’s Open in Kohler, WI and what the USGA does to prepare for an event of that nature.  It was an amazing experience to see a US Women’s Open from the grounds itself.  We have all heard about what the USGA does to prepare a course for the toughest test in golf, and it was enlightening to see the preparation that goes into a course, how the players prepare and the amount of excitement in the local community.   

Our travel segment for this show takes Golf Life to Utah just outside of Park City.  Golf Life visits the beautiful Red Ledges resort and Jim McLean golf school.  Red Ledges is a local community with year round activities built around a Jack Nicklaus designed championship course.  This episode also features a tip from one of the best young teachers in the game of golf, Jeff Ritter who will help you improve your short game with a tip for your chipping.  Also a segment that took the longest to put together but is something a little different and pretty cool.  A fashion segment, shot and edited like a music video, this segment will show you all of the best golf fashion available at your local Edwin Watts Golf Shops or online at EdwinWatts.com.

There is one more segment within this months episode of Golf Life that we are especially proud of.  We worked with an organization called Caddy for a Cure that uses golf and the PGA TOUR to raise money for cancer research.  This particular week they worked with Jason Bohn who had a great opportunity to work with some youngsters who needed a great and memorable day and he was able to provide that for them.  It is a great cause, a great organization, one that I highly recommend everyone learns a little more about.

The show premieres this Sunday – here is where you can see it:

Margo Leonard – Topeka, KS

So we listened to Margo and continued to do what we do best at Golf Life, this new episode is highlighted by a feature on Mike Hicks, former caddie for Payne Stewart now on the bag for Spencer Levin; a report on the impact of the cleatless shoe craze; and an update from Vail, CO for some summer travel ideas.  As always with Golf Life, the show includes instructional tips, this month from top instructor Shawn Humphries, as well as Mark Long using his SkyCaddie SGX-w to teach us about game management on a Par 5 and we revisit a fan-favorite tip from the legendary short game guru Dave Pelz.

“I like how it’s geared towards just going out and having a good time golfing. Me and my golfing buddies have watched the show for places to play and it just gets us fired up to go play.”

(Kohler, WI) – Paula Creamer is on the podium talking about how important the US Women’s Open is to both her and her fellow American players.  The Golf Life crew traveled to Kohler, WI to attend the US Women’s Open.  Even with the heat and humidity, which I’m sure they will be talking about all weekend on the national broadcasts – it is an amazing site to behold.  I’ll have to admit, I have never been to an LPGA event – I know, this is not the LPGA, it’s the USGA – so I’ve never been to a professional women’s golf tournament.  I’ve also never been to Wisconsin so I had no idea what to expect. 

From the moment I’ve arrived I have been impressed. I’ve been impressed by the size and scope of the tournament, the crowds that have braved the heat for practice rounds Monday-Wednesday, I’ve been impressed meeting some of the young amateurs and how composed and stress-free they seem to be heading into their first US Women’s Open.  Most impressive though has been this golf course.  Typical of what they say about every USGA event this week will crown a true champion – this golf course will not allow anything else.  This course was designed to be a true challenge – and along with the heat – it certainly will be.  As with most USGA events you are truly punished for missing the fairway, the rough is thick, and since Pete Dye designed the course the bunkers are deep.  A perfect drive far from guarantees you a good lie on the fairway with the rolling hills throughout the course.  There are large bunkers, huge trees, a lot of water, blind tee shots, blind second shots, a 600-yard par 5, and some of the largest greens that I have ever seen. 

This course, Blackhawk Run, is world-renowned, constantly ranked in the top 100 in the country and now I see why.  Surrounded by the American Club, and another course of similar stature and virtue is something to behold.  Lambeau Field, 30 minutes or so from here has always been on my sports bucket lists of places to see a game.  Hopefully when I cross that off the list I can also get 36 holes of golf at Whistling Straits and Blackhawk Run in as well.  Although I would guess this course plays real tough during those Green Bay winter storms, so maybe I will have to do it during two separate trips.

I would be very surprised to see a winning score this week under par.  Anyone have any guesses as to who will win the Open?  Will there be any surprises that come out of nowhere?  How many amateurs do you think make the cut? 

We want to hear from you…
