If you spend much time at the range, like most avid golfers, you're bound to begin to realize the limitations of hitting off the mat. If you're anything like me, you're constantly in search of some space where you can either tee it up with a real tee, or hit off real grass somewhere at the range and many facilities provide this type of area as a benefit to their customers. Part of the reason I do this, as you would expect, is to try and recreate the most realistic scenario or environment with which to practice. Obviously, the closer you can simulate the real thing, the more effective your workouts will be. Sometimes you can't find that real turf area at your range. It might not exist at all, or as is normal at a range I frequent, it's constantly under repair. Enter the FairwayPro.

We were absolutely bowled over when we reviewed the tournament-legal GX-I rangefinder from laser optic giants Leupold last month. So when we got the chance to test out the company's illegal device -- the GX-II which measures the slope, temperature and altitude -- we couldn't resist. See what we thought and take a closer look at this cracking rangefinder...

RoboCup, a new ball-return robot that won the 'Best New Product' award at the 2009 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, has started making its first deliveries.
The robot, which runs on 4 AA batteries, is the only ball return device designed to work on every practice green.
When your putts drop into the hole, RoboCup's innovative design automatically shoots the ball right back to you for any distance up to 14 feet.
Its set of four batteries last for 15,000 putt returns and to catch and return balls that miss the hole you can combine it with the RoboCup Caddy Cord.
"Golfers can now experience having their own personal putting caddy," says Keith Foley, inventor of RoboCup and co-founder of Fine Tune Golf.

Can a Pre-Round Warm Up Increase Club Head Speed?
Study Shows Improvement Over Time with Golf-Specific Exercises Prior to Swing
After completing a study with 20 golfers to determine the effects of a golf-specific warm up on club head speed, golfers are seeing an exciting difference. It seems that, with a brief warm up routine, golfers were able to increase their club head speeds by an average of 24%, as opposed to a control group, which saw virtually no change over the testing period.
The objective of the study was to prove that golfers could increase their club head speed by performing a solid warm-up routine prior to beginning their round. In order to test the theory, 10 golfers on a control team were matched with 10 golfers on a test team. Each golfer was matched for age within 2 years and handicap within 1 stroke. The golfers were initially tested with 10 golf strokes to determine their club head speed in a controlled laboratory setting.
During the first week, the test group performed this warm up exercise routine first, followed by their 10 strokes, whereas the control group simply completed their strokes. The golfers continued this routine for five times a week for five weeks. Upon completion of the study, it was found that the group of golfers performing a warm up routine had increased their club head speed by a mean, or average, of 7-10 meters per second, or about 24%.
What is the significance of this finding? Based on this study, science has begun to prove that golf requires athletic endurance and, when the proper muscles that are used to control swing and grip are warmed up before exertion, golfers have an improved game.
Here is an example of a pre round stretch you can use to warm up your back, hip and shoulder muscles.
