We would like to welcome you to our web site, “Elite Golf Gift”. We will be featuring some of the best golf gifts on the planet…and some that you will be able to afford as well.
Man with Golf Bag
Golf is a fascinating (and frustrating) game. You can make a brilliant shot, and even a “hole-in-one”, and yet spend the rest of the day chasing your ball from the tee, to the woods, to the sand trap, to the lake…you get the idea. Yet, for the golf enthusiast, golf continues holds it’s charm.
The love of the game seems to defy logic in many ways. Why spend your time chasing a little ball around a field til you hit it into a cup. Why? Because it’s there, that’s why.
So, what do you get a guy or girl who insist on punishing themselves in this way? An “Elite Gift” that’s what… In this blog we will be sharing our research of what we feel are some of the best golf gifts out there, and where you can go about getting them.
Before we start the actual list of “Elite Gifts”, let’s break them down into some categories.
a) Equipment – Every golfer needs equipment. From clubs to tees to balls, there are so many types and varieties out there the choice can be absolutely numbing. We hope to help you out in the selection of these items.
b) Instruction – There are various types of golf instruction out there. The more economical versions are DVD’s and books. For those who have the means and desire, individual golf instruction is the way to go. We’ll give you some input on our ideas in this area as well.
c) Courses – Since a golfer, well, golfs…what a great gift to give him/her…some rounds on their favorite golf course. One again, for those who have the desire and means, why not get your “loved one” an airline ticket and pass to that course they have been wanting to try out all their life. Pebble Beach anyone? Four!!!
d) Tournament Tickets – Most golfers have a “hero”, someone that they look up to because of the excellence of his/her game. Why not surprise him/her with a chance to see their hero play in a tournament? After they pick themselves up off the floor from fainting, they will love you for it.
e) Novelty Items – Even golfers enjoy a good laugh now and then (just not at their expense for that ball in the water). There are a number of novelty items out there, from the subtle yet useful, to the absolutely hilarious. We’ll try to help you navigate the waters of these gift ideas as well.
So, what are these items and where do you get them? Stay tuned for subsequent posts…

Golf GPS Systems
OUR PICK #1) The handheld SkyGolf GPS SkyCaddie devices are simply amazing. With the invention of satellite technology, golfers now have individual hand-held rangefinders are available for use on any golf course in the world.

Oscar started the business with a simple motto “Bend over backwards to take care of the customer and they will be your friend for life”. Everyone chipped in…mother would type up the catalog, the kids would put labels on the catalog, and everyone helped pack up the orders. Even though Austad’s now operates 11 retail stores all over the upper Midwest, and have a presence on the internet, they continue to mail out this famous catalog, and focus on pleasing their customers.

OUR PICK #5) Some people prefer to utilize simulators to help analyze and thereby improve their game. IN THE HOLE! carries simulators varying from the moderately priced to the complete hitting centers (from manufacturers such as P3P). In regards to the P3Pro in particular, the 3D golf simulation options turn it from your basic analysis tool to an incredibly accurate indoor golf simulator.

Golf Accessories
IN THE HOLE! offers a complete range of golf head covers to protect those precious club heads. Some are humorous…like the animal head covers. High tech golf head covers are also available.
Tees seem simple enough. They are a necessary accessory, but years of research and development has gone into them. Biotechnology material science and aerodynamic surface geometry have produced innovations in tee designs that reduce not only backspin, but sidespin deflection. Some of these new tees have rejected the traditional form for dramatically new shapes.

Clothing tends to remind me of recipes. There are lots of them and sometimes what you look at as the finished product reveals so little of the ingredients that were used in the beginning. A Cortech motorcycle jacket has history that makes it a surprise recipe because it tastes great but you have no idea how much time goes into preparation!
This particular line of wear started originally in 2002 as a child of the Tour Master brand which itself was birthed in 1978 out of the Helmet House business. Tour Master is definitely a well known name in the motorcycle retail business specializing in riding gear for street motorcyclists.
Now a days, you won’t be able to look in any credible Motorcycle clothing shop without coming across the Tour Master and Cortech names because their following has grown over the years and they are more popular than ever with just cause. While not the only options in motorcycle garb and accessories, you certainly won’t go wrong with them because the quality and considerations taken when making their products seem to be on a consistency level you can depend on.
Whether you are looking into a purpose of a motorcycle jacket because you are actually riding a motorcycle and need protection or if you are planning to attend an event in style or you like to ride comfortable – you can meet your needs with this line of riding gear from Cortech.
Cortech invests more than finances in their designs including the Cortech Motorcycle Jacket which reflect the pride of craftsmanship. Both the quality of materials used as well as the innovative styles and technology made available to its customers are clearly visible. When you want a lot of bang for your buck, you should make sure Cortech products are a contender in the decision ring.
After looking at a Ladies LNX Jacket to find Kevlar protection in shoulder and elbow areas for well under the competition’s prices – it’s safe to say value has a home at Cortech. While sizing of the Kevlar could have been customized and it would have been great to see some back protection – that does not take away from this find at that value price.
Despite any drawbacks on the levels of Kevlar included on the lower priced models, the great thing is upgrading is always an option so if you feel the need for more, you can easily add on or upgrade your pieces – usually with little to no complications in the process.
As unique or standard as your tastes may run, there will be lots of choices for you as an experienced motorcycle rider or a novice. You won’t have to sacrifice style to stay in your budget, and safety won’t have to take a backseat in your life because it’s just too much money. Cortech does not let you down in these regard – as a matter of fact – they surprise you with hidden treasures! We are all too familiar with having to give up style for comfort in some cases even settling for something you are not interested in wearing, simply because it’s just out of reach but Cortech makes sure to include something for everyone.
It’s nice to know that whether you are looking at a Cortech Motorcycle Jacket for a man or a woman, you will find oodles of choices and features, including the multitasking ability of your jacket which depending on your choice, can take you on the bike, to work, a walk during lunch and an outing with friends in the evening hours all without changing!

A week after being named the New York Jets starting quarterback, Mark Sanchez rewarded his first year NFL coach with a victory. Rex Ryan got his first win as coach of the Jets as his team nipped the rival New York Giants 27-25. Both teams are now 1-2 in NFL preseason play.
NFL preseason betting enthusiasts who took the Giants as +3 point underdogs were rewarded with the outright victory. The Jets improved to 2-1 against the pointspread, while the Giants dropped to 1-2 against the money as they dropped their second straight ATS verdict. The combined 52 points went well OVER the posted total of 36.
Sanchez finished with 149 yards on 13 of 20 passing and a touchdown pass to former University of South Carolina standout Chansi Stuckey. After the game, he said things were different now that he was the starting QB:
“You get a little more confidence when you know your coach believes in you and has named you the starter. It was similar to that at SC. Once you’re the guy, you talk a little different, you walk a little different and you act a little different.”
Giants defender Mathias Kiwanuka thought he had a sack but Sanchez evaded him and another lineman to make the play. He had to be impressed with Sanchezs touchdown effort:
“I thought we had him. It was a great play. You have to give him credit for seeing down the field with two guys in his face.”
Sanchez remembered it thusly:
“It was one of those plays where you get hit throwing it and you don’t really see what’s going on. You kind of listen. I knew if it was a big roar, it was probably a big play by the Giants, maybe an interception and I’d have to get up quick. But I heard a quiet roar and I said: ‘Oh boy, I think he caught it.’”
Winning coach Ryan commended his young QBs effort:
“He was poised. He is what we thought he was.”
Giants QB Eli Manning finished with 91 yards on 9 of 21 passing with a touchdown and interception. He also had receiver Steve Smith drop a wide open pass that would have gone for a touchdown. Afterwards, he sympathized with his receiver:
“Sometimes it’s good to get those out of the way now. I know Steve feels bad about that. He hasn’t done that all training camp. I know he won’t drop it next time.”
The Giants finish up the NFL preseason slate with a trip to Foxboro, Massachusetts to take on the New England Patriots on Thursday night. The Jets wrap up their exhibition schedule by hosting the Philadelphia Eagles.

After a month long free agency soap opera, both Lamar Odom and the Los Angeles Lakers got what they really wanted all along. The Lakers retained the services of their valuable sixth man, and Odom will return to the team after an intense recruiting pitch from the Miami Heat. On Friday, Odom officially signed his new contract with the NBA Champions thus insuring that the nucleus of the roster will remain intact.
Terms of the deal weren’t immediately released, but both player and team appeared relieved that things had worked out. In early July, negotiations broke down after some miscommunication between Odom’s agent and Lakers owner Dr. Jerry Buss. While Odom worked to mend fences”including several personal phone calls to Dr. Buss”his agent was receiving interest from Miami, Portland and Dallas. Miami, in particular, was extremely interest bringing out the big guns in the personage of Dwayne Wade and Pat Riley to make a recruiting pitch.
Ultimately, however, Odom couldnt come up with a compelling reason to leave his situation in Los Angeles. At the official signing ceremony, he hinted that a dynasty could be in the making:
“I guess basketball-wise, I feel complete. I want to feel it again. It’s kind of an overwhelming feeling. I get goose bumps when I think about it, and as long as I continue to play professional basketball, I want to always feel that. The way I feel during the summer, I always want to feel that. If we can win six, seven, eight, nine, 10 championships in a row, I want to experience that.”
While talk of 10 straight championships may be mere hyperbole, theres no reason the Lakers cant run off a repeat or better with their current lineup. In fact, with the teams signing of Ron Artest the lineup may be better than a year ago. Artest brings not only his infamous swagger and intensity, but an element of toughness and versatility that Ariza lacked. Such was Odoms commitment to the Lakers is that even during his free agency, he helped recruit Artest to sign with the team:
“I spoke to Ron two days before he signed, and I told him how important I think it is for him to come here. Because I know how hard he works, he needs to experience basketball at its best, at the highest level, and he needs to become a Laker. Two days after that, he signed.”
Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak was understandably elated at Odom’s return:
“Three or four months ago, I didn’t think it could be possible that we could basically bring this team back in whole. Lamar had a wonderful season that ended on the best possible note you could have, and Lamar had a lot of options. … Here it is, July 31, and we have brought back everybody that we wanted to bring back.”
Odom noted that Los Angeles was home to his family, and he never really wanted to play elsewhere:
“I didn’t want my kids to have to change schools — just the little things. I’m comfortable here. I’ve been here since I was’ years old. I’m proud to be playing for what I think is the most popular brand in sports.

The bad news for the Baltimore Ravens in their 2009 NFL regular season opener was that their vaunted defense gave up 24 points despite holding a decided advantage in every other statistical category. The good news was that their offense was more than up to the task, answering with 38 points and a franchise record 501 yards. All told, the Ravens opened their season on a winning note beating the Kansas City Chiefs 38-24. Quarterback Joe Flacco threw for a career high 307 yards and three touchdown passes in the victory.
NFL sports betting devotees who took the +13 points with the Chiefs as a road underdog were hard luck losers as the Ravens managed to cover the pointspread by a single point. The win evened Baltimore’s ATS record over the past three seasons at 18-18, while the Chiefs fell to 14-19 in the same timeframe. The 62 combined points scored easily exceeded the posted total of 37. Despite Baltimore’s reputation as a defensive powerhouse they’ve shown a decided bias to the OVER in recent years, with 22 OVER verdicts in their last 35 games.
Afterwards, Joe Flacco was clearly happy with the opportunity to throw the ball more than usual:
“It’s awesome. It’s so much fun. As a quarterback, that’s what you want to do.”
Ravens coach John Harbaugh expressed confidence in his offense’s ability to make plays:
“We’re going to throw more if it helps us win games. I think that we will be capable of throwing the ball more ways than we did last year. We have really good players that can make plays.”
Chiefs backup quarterback Brodie Croyle played relatively well in a losing cause. Filling in for the injured Matt Cassel, Croyle put up 177 yards on 16 of 24 passing and 2 touchdowns with no interceptions. Despite the solid performance, Croyle was in no mood to talk about his personal accomplishments in the wake of the loss:
“Play well, don’t play well — if you don’t win, you still have the same feeling and that’s where I’m at.”
In his post game comments, first year Chiefs coach Todd Haley gave props to his quarterback :
“I thought Brodie Croyle gave us a chance to win today and that’s all I’ll ever ask my quarterback to do. I got to give credit to Baltimore. They were a throwing machine today. They threw the ball probably a lot more than we anticipated.”
The Ravens now head cross country to take on the San Diego Chargers in southern California next Sunday. After that theyll return home the following week to take on the Cleveland Browns. Kansas City will host the Oakland Raiders next Sunday before heading to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles the following week. The Chiefs are hoping that QB Matt Cassel will be able to start against Oakland, or the following week at the very latest.

At one point, I am certain you have witnessed a sporting event, where athletes show their near superhuman skills. Indeed it is one incredible display of athleticism, even when viewed in slow motion.
There are many effective methods to thrust sports performance to its peak, such as a multi-faceted training program. However, physical ability is still a fundamental factor in performance; most particularly, effective mobility of certain body joints. Limited mobility does not only lead to a performance that is sub par, but also potential injuries.
The three factors that confine mobility or movement are as follow:
Local movement restrictions. These movement restrictions are typically the result of shortening or stiffening of tissues such as muscle or connective tissue due to repetitive movements or limitations in movement associated with prolonged postures.
Biomechanical movement limitations. When there is a weakened movement in a certain joint or muscle, it will have an impact on the position of every single one of the joints and muscle in the kinetic chain. Altered, even undesired movement is a result of limitations on the interdependence of body parts to one another.
Neuromuscular movement limitations. The nervous system’s function, the ability to use position sense or proprioceptive information and reflexes restrict our neuromuscular component in performing effective movement.
Doing the right exercise at the right time is mighty essential, may it be in enhancing sports performance or trying to alleviate body pain.
For instance, it’s not uncommon to see immediate improvement in mobility after performing some form of exercise that impacts the neuromuscular component of movement restriction. The problem arises when there’s also an underlying local or biomechanical restriction that doesn’t allow the neuromuscular exercise correction to “stick”.
Whenever you do remedial exercise training, be sure that local movement returns to effective form. Your program can vary from joint mobilization to flexibility exercises and some strength training.
Then, normal biomechanics must be established for each joint. Regular patterns in joint mobility and muscle balance must likewise be demonstrated.
Getting you towards adequate neuromuscular control is pegged at the end of the remedial exercise. From simple exercises, you will progress to full body exercise routines that gradually advances your balance and coordination. Activities that make use of sport specific loads, speeds and trainings (i.e. agility training) are devised for you to achieve peak sports performance.

Veteran point guard Jason Williams”nicknamed White Chocolate earlier in his career for his flamboyant play”is returning to the NBA after a season away from basketball. Williams announced that hes re-entering the league this season, and will do so in an Orlando Magic uniform. Williams is tentatively slated to be the backup for starting playmaker Jameer Nelson.
Williams signed a one year NBA contract to play for the Los Angeles Clippers in 2008, but walked away from it without playing a game. At the time, his wife was facing some complications during her pregnancy with their third child and Williams wanted to be able to spend time with her and his family. His attempt to be reinstated late in the season was rebuffed by the NBA, and he ended up sitting out the entire campaign.
When the Clippers relinquished their rights to Williams earlier this summer, he became an unrestricted free agent. Magic General Manager Otis Smith provided these comments on the signing:
“Jason provides depth and leadership to our backcourt. He is a veteran point guard that knows what it takes to help us reach our ultimate goal.”
When asked to reflect on his NBA and college career”marked by several suspensions and countless other controversies”Williams sounded a philosophical tone:
“Let me tell you this: If I could go all the way back [to the beginning], I wouldn’t do a damn thing different. I know I messed up here and there along the way, but those things I didn’t do right helped me become the person I am now.”
Williams played a crucial backup role during the Miami Heat’s 2005-2006 NBA championship run, and will be expected help the Magic win the sport’s ultimate prize. They’re expected to face a tough test in their own conference, with Cleveland, Miami and Boston all having upgraded their lineups during the offseason. Boston got an additional boost recently with the news that Kevin Garnett had returned to practice and is likely to be back in the lineup when the season begins.
