A Mission of Paradise Golf β Better & More Enjoyable Golf Having been involved with Paradise Golf for 15 of the last 17 years, my goal in calling Paradise Golf βA Private Club Without Wallsβ has always been simple: make golf = fun a living and breathing reality for our members. Β One way we are doing that is by identifying new game improvement opportunities, and we believe screen golf is one of the most exciting developments in the game today. Thatβs why weβve partnered with two outstanding facilities β X-Golf in Trinity and The Irons Club in St. Pete β both offering advanced swing-analysis technology and the ability to play some of the worldβs most famous courses indoors. Β Simulator golf is growing rapidly because it combines practice, technology, and social golf in a convenient environment. Whether youβre improving your swing or simply enjoying a round with friends, these facilities provide a great way to experience the game. Β We encourage you to visit The Irons Club in St. Pete and X-Golf in Trinity and see the experience for yourself. Paradise Golf members receive preferred rates and special offers, with more information available in your Member Portal. And remember β GOLF = FUN!

Lately those emails have slowed down, and Iβd love to start receiving them again. Β If youβve played somewhere recently, please feel free to share your thoughts by emailing me atΒ gregg@paradise-golf.com.

Many members have said these updates are a valuable resource when deciding where to play their next round. Β To kick things off again, here are a few courses Iβve visited recently that are currently inΒ excellent, very playable conditionΒ and come highly recommended: Plantation Palms, Ardea South, Seminole Lake, Skyview at Citrus Hills, Black Diamond Ranch, Lexington Oaks, TPC Tampa Bay, Saddlebrook, The Bayou Club, Golden Ocala, Tarpon Springs, and Carrollwood CC.

QUICK GOLF TIP: THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING THE CORRECT GRIP SIZE ON YOUR CLUBS |
|
The grip is yourΒ only physical connection to the golf club, yet many golfers never consider whether their grip size actually fits their hands. The wrong grip size can lead toΒ inconsistent shots, poor swing mechanics, and even physical discomfort. ΒControl of Face AngleGrip thickness affects how your hands rotate the club through impact.Β Grips that are too smallΒ can make the hands overly active, often leading to pulls or hooks.Β Grips that are too largeΒ can restrict hand rotation, making it harder to square the clubface and often resulting in pushes or slices. ΒGrip Pressure and TensionThe correct grip size allows you to hold the club comfortably without squeezing too tightly.Β Grips that are too thinΒ often cause golfers to grip harder, creating tension in the forearms and shoulders.Β Grips that are too thickΒ can reduce your feel for the clubhead and make it harder to sense the clubface during the swing. ΒSwing Mechanics and ReleaseWhen the grip fits properly, your fingers can wrap naturally around the club. Ideally, your fingertips shouldΒ just lightly touch the pad of your thumb, allowing for a more neutral release and smoother swing mechanics. ΒComfort and Injury PreventionUsing the wrong grip size over time can lead to discomfort or injury. Golfers withΒ arthritis or joint painΒ often benefit from larger grips that reduce strain on the fingers, while grips that are too small can contribute toΒ golferβs elbow or tendonitisΒ from excessive grip pressure. ΒHow to Check Your Grip FitA quick rule of thumb when holding the club with your lead hand:
If youβre unsure whether your grips fit properly, our Director of Golf and Teaching ProfessionalΒ Tom SheaΒ can help evaluate your clubs and improve your setup. π (813) 728-4466 Β Click here to learn more about golf tips and how to improve your swing. |
