The Golf Shanty Shirt

June 12, 2016 / thegolfshanty / Leave a comment

We launched our first shirt design!

Ok, so I am more than a little excited about this one. This site has always been a hobby of mine, a way for me to help introduce lesser known golf companies to people who normally wouldn’t have ever heard of these products or sites. It has never been an income source since I offer every company free advertisement. Well things are about the change, yes is still going to be free but I am now going to attempt to add a review page to this blog. I wont be asking for free product because every hack writer and their mom calls these companies wanting handouts because somehow their half-assed blog review is gonna be a big deal for companies ( They get hundreds of these emails, trust me I was one of these companies and I hated these calls and emails) Instead I’m going to buy the products and then sell them after, maybe even do a giveaway.

To get started we have to get some funds rolling so we have created The Golf Shanty shirt. It is offered and printed through Amazon so the quality is guaranteed. So Follow the link and let’s gets this bad boy started!

P.S. I will not be reviewing big brands, you can find hundreds of those already and I don’t care about those companies so don’t ask me to review the new Callaway driver or Nike wedge because it’s not gonna happen.

Michael Billingsley

In 1992 a small production company was created by Mike named Videographic West. His goal was to create video driven by broadcast graphics. This effort quickly helped Mike create his first television show and it was all downhill from there… literally. The first show was called Ski TV and quickly followed famous skiers downhill and all over the mountain. This success led to another lifestyle sport that Billingsley loved… the game of golf. Golf Life was created, originally called Resort Golf in America and over 20 years later the series is going strong.

Today Billingsley still produces and directs the series, along with countless golf commercials, promotional and informational videos. His passion for the game never ends. At times he finds himself in front of the camera, introducing his large golf audience to interesting products, locations and people in the golf lifestyle.

You’ll occasionally see Travis behind camera, he edits many of the videos and shows, manages the social media networks, and will even talk with you about our tv and web videos. He is a bit of a tool, but very useful. Kind of like a swiss army knife.

Tee Caddy

Save time with tee caddy

“Can anyone see my tee?!” … Sound familiar?!!…. After hearing those words a thousand times I realised that in spite of golf tees being relatively inexpensive we all hate losing them!! …some golfers actually have a lucky tee or a favourite tee and will spend many minutes during a round searching for them…time that could be spent at the 19th!! Tee caddy’s unique and patent pending tee retrieval system will ensure you never lose a tee again.

Save money with tee caddy

Ok… tees are not hugely expensive but some specialist tees are getting more expensive every year…losing a few of those brush style tees will make quite a dent in your pocket but even losing cheaper plastic ones will soon add up to several pounds over a year.

Repair your pitch mark with tee caddy

Why carry lots of different golf accessories in your pocket when all you need is one tee caddy! Tee caddy comes with a solid steel chrome plated pitch mark repair tool that also serves as an anchor for the tee retrieving device.

Mark your ball with tee caddy

Neatly contained in the unit held by a strong magnet is a ball marker which is the exact size of a one pence piece. This means if you accidentally lose your ball marker (although you shouldn’t as it’s held in place with a strong magnet) a one pence piece (modern version with steel in it) can be used…awesome!!

Now for the bad news!!

Under R & A rules the tee retrieving feature of tee caddy cannot be used during competitions. This is because the string of the unit could be used to aid alignment….drat!!

And the good news!!

The ball marker, pitch mark repairer and groove cleaner can all be used in competitions. Furthermore, why not use the tee caddy in your next non competitive round of golf to help align your swing or target line we’d love to hear from you? Is a swing trainer one of the other benefits of tee caddy???!!!

Golf Club Alert

January 27, 2015 / thegolfshanty / Leave a comment

Never Leave a Club behind again!!

Have you ever taken 2 or more golf clubs from your bag …

…maybe to the green…or maybe from a buggy to the fairway…

…..and then how often does one get left behind?

www.ClubAlert.co.uk

When you purchase ClubAlert, you get a Transmitter and access to a free smartphone APP. Each Transmitter protects a single golf club, and up to 14 can be monitored by the APP separately.

After unpacking the transmitter, and removing a battery protector, you use the APP to ‘pair’ to it. This ensures that only YOU get alerts for YOUR clubs, and not those of others.

After the learning process, each transmitter is pushed into the end of the golf club to be protected.

…each transmitter will fit snugly inside the club and will not affect your grip or swing…

Clubs should be carried as usual, (in a bag), and the phone kept in your bag, in your pocket, or clipped to your belt whilst playing. Switch the call ringer OFF on your ‘phone, but start the APP.

When a club is removed from the bag, the APP senses it, and monitors it’s distance.

If the club goes more than 35 – 40 metres away from the ‘phone, the APP will ‘realise’, wait for a few seconds, and then Vibrate or Sound – Alerting you!

When you get back in range the APP will ‘know’, and stop any alarm.

When the club is put back in the bag, it will tell the APP it is about to go into ‘sleep mode’, and then switch off.

If two or more protected clubs are taken from the bag, they will be monitored independently, and if any one of them is left behind, the Alert will occur.

Results

Grip force measurements conducted with our Hand Dynamometers show up to a 30% reduction in grip pressure.

Tension starts in the hands and the tightness creeps into all the other muscles, inhibiting any real dynamic swing. The LeviTee Glove helps eliminate the tightness by providing the player with a relaxed hand.

The LeviTee Glove helps to avoid the “death grip”. This allows the golfer to achieve proper grip pressure and results have included faster swing speeds and longer, straighter ball flights.

The LeviTee Glove combines tour quality cabretta leather with a durable synthetic material to give you a glove that feels good and is as comfortable, if not more comfortable than traditional golf gloves.

Tee Claw

January 19, 2015 / thegolfshanty / Leave a comment

The Tee Claw Concept

www.TeeClaw.com

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1877241056/the-tee-claw

The Tee Claw concept was borne from the desire to play better golf from an artificial grass mat surface. Striking a golf ball directly from an artificial grass mat surface can pose several challenges to golfers accustomed to traditional grass surfaces; such as the inability to take a divot. The alternative is to place the golf ball onto a tee. This is where the Tee Claw is revolutionary.

The Tee Claw replaces the conventional antiquated, unpredictable, flimsy, and fixed-position rubber tee that inserts underneath the bottom of the mat through a hole. Hitting a golf ball from the old rubber tee slows club head speed causing mis-hits, slicing, and hooking the ball. The Tee Claw is designed to fasten into an artificial grass mat surface to assure a consistent, convenient, and diverse tee for golfers of all levels. The Tee Claw allows golfers to insert wood tees into the platform disk. This feature provides golfers the ability to select desired tee heights to control golf ball trajectories. This provides a real golf experience from an artificial mat.

The Tee Claw Design

The Tee Claw disk platform is approximately 1 inch in diameter and ½ inch thick. It is constructed of both Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) and rubber and is equipped with four ¼-inch long PVC claws. The disk platform can be placed anywhere onto the artificial grass mat surface and requires a 180 degree clockwise rotation “twist” to fasten and a counterclockwise twist to unfasten. The selected rubber or wood golf tee is inserted directly into the patented “CLAW” disk platform. The Tee Claw design prevents it from bouncing or sliding away from the artificial grass mat at club impact thereby providing a more stable and level plane to strike the golf ball.
