A (Golf Course) Star in the Making

TeeShotHole1Jeff

How many golfers have finished a round at Jeffersonville Golf Course in West Norriton and realized the only place to go to relax, have a cold beverage and tally up the day’s winnings, or loses, is a small, nondescript, decidedly old, barely comfortable restaurant at the end of a former barn?

How many golfers remember when renovations came to Jeffersonville to the tune of several million dollars, restoring the excellent test of any golfer’s metal to the original Donald Ross design, only to see the clubhouse ignored?

Well, those days are history, and what we have now is a golf course star in the making.

West Norriton township officials are looking to sink about $2 million into one of the top golf courses in the entire state of Pennsylvania, and we couldn’t be more excited at the prospect, and excited for golfers the state over, which is where the course draws from.

We’ll follow the progress right here, which most likely won’t start until financing is in place, so we’re hopeful the late 2017 start of construction is a reality.

In the meantime, come out to the course and check out this terrific layout. Above is a photo of the starting hole, and impressive par four that demands an accurate tee shot if you want to get home in two. The course won’t disappoint, and before long, you’ll have a brand spanking new clubhouse to relax in after your round!

Style and function come together @Golf ClubSox

We were so excited to receive our new Golf ClubSox Tennessee headcover that we couldn’t wait to write about it, so our earlier post was more of an announcement than a review. Now that golf season is in full swing, we’ve had a chance to put it to the test.

Not only does it stand out in the bag, far eclipsing the style of our previous Tennessee Volunteers headcover, but as you can see, also that of the Georgia Bulldogs headcover, which for obvious reasons is relegated to my rescue club. The obvious reason is that I’m a huge Tennessee Volunteers fan. I went to the University of Tennessee and my daughter went to the University of Georgia and we have a great time teasing each other when football season rolls around (she’s definitely had the upper hand the past several years, but watch out this year!). I picked up the Georgia headcover when I was in Athens for her graduation, so replacing my aging Tennessee headcover became a priority.

My Tennessee Golf ClubSox is made, as they all are, with 100 percent wool crepe. The elasticity of the headcover is amazing. It goes over your driver like a sock goes over your foot, and just as they promise, it stays there. The knitting is tight and it returns to its original position when being taken on and off your club. Photos do not do Golf ClubSox justice. When you hold one in your hand you know you’re holding quality. They have a weight about them that you know will stand the test of time.

Golf ClubSox can make a custom headcover for just about any college team. Below are just a few of the designs, and they also make breast cancer awareness, veterans, and USA headcovers, just in time for the upcoming Olympics!

You can choose between one of their designs, or you can have a custom made headcover made just for you. I needed to replace my old driver headcover, and I really wanted it to stand out. I sent them a photo of my old headcover, made some suggestions for the new one, and the results were outstanding. Check out their photo gallery here. Allow about two weeks for your custom made clubsox. They can make just about any design you can think of. Golf ClubSox recently made a set of custom headcovers for Symetra Tour player Emily Gimpel, who is currently competing at the W.B. Mason Championship. That’s her in the photo above!

Golf ClubSox not only pass the test, they ace it with flying colors!

Caditag sticks to its promise

Caditag

Have you ever looked down into your bag to grab your trusty wedge for an upcoming, extremely difficult shot and had the pit of your stomach drop down through your shoes because it wasn’t there?

Of course you have.

We all have. Well, most of us have, anyway.

Chances are good though that you probably just left your trusty wedge on the last hole, because, well, most of us are amateurs and we use our trusty wedges a lot; maybe not on every hole, but a lot.

Now imagine that wedge is part of a brand new set of clubs you just dropped a cool grand on.

That dropping of the pit in your stomach quickly goes to all out panic.

It doesn’t have to be that way if you have Caditag in your bag.

. . .

We recently wrapped a Caditag ID sticker around our trusty wedge and proceeded to lose it at Jeffersonville Golf Club in West Norriton, PA, where a kind soul turned it in to the pro shop.

Jeffersonville is a Caditag Trusted Partner, so here’s what happened next.

Mike Housely, the pro at Jeffersonville, saw the Caditag sticker on the club and promptly went to their website and punched in the numbers.

Within minutes we received a text telling us our trusty wedge was safe and sound at Jeffersonville Golf Club and we could pick it up anytime.

Crisis averted, and all for less than the price of a round of golf, and a heck of a lot less than the price of the club.

The only hiccup we ran into when registering our clubs was that the website asked for a serial number, which we later found out was the ID number. We’re happy to report that you won’t run into the same thing because once we told them about the confusion Caditag promptly made a change to the site to match the sign up form with the ID number.

We asked at the pro shop at Jeffersonville about the number of clubs turned in each week. Shane Frangiosa, the assistant pro at Jeffersonville, quickly pointed to four clubs leaning against a counter and said those were all turned in that week. He said some weeks they get more, but on average about three or four clubs are turned in each and every week, and that the cart barn is full of clubs that have been turned in because no one came back to claim them. That doesn’t have to be the case if you have Caditag on your clubs.

Back in the day, golfers would tape a label with their name, address and telephone number onto their clubs, giving away entirely too much personal information. Caditag eliminates the need by providing an ID to your set of clubs. Do yourself a favor and check out Caditag today!

The labels are small and are easy to apply. Simply peel and stick onto your club just below the grip, or anywhere along the shaft. Having Caditags on your clubs will eliminate the need of having a caddy on your bag every round to fetch your clubs for you. And, again, a whole heck of a lot less expensive!

For golf courses, becoming a Trusted Partner is just as easy, and there isn’t any expense. Sign your course up today and give your members a little peace of mind!
