Golf Swing

Ping Putting App – iPing Putting App for iPhone or Android is a hot new putting tool that is easy to use and affordable.

The Ping Putting App for either iPhone or Android is a great training aid that measures putter-head rotation during the putting stroke, swing tempo and face angle at impact.

Save strokes with the iPing Putting App for iPhone and know that you don’t have to own a Ping Putter to utilize the tool, it works with any putter.

Just download the free iPing app at iTunes onto your iPhone or Android phones, it also can be downloaded onto a 4th generation iPod Touch. You’ll need to buy a cradle ($30 on golfer retail sites) that attaches to the putter shaft.

The iPing app has three teaching modes:

• Practice – displays club rotation on the forward stroke, impact angle and tempo for each putt.
• Measure – calculates averages for face rotation, impact angle and tempo based on 5 putts from 10 feet.
• Compare – current results versus previous sessions.

Of course there’s going to be some Ping putter marketing that goes along with the app. A feature called iPingFit directs  you to specific Ping putters based on stroke type. Hit five putts, and a shaft label recommendation comes up on the screen. There is also an Advanced Fit mode to determine proper shaft length, lie and loft.

If you are trying to decide on long or shorter shaft putters get Ping Putting App.

Tiger Woods Suzann Pettersen – Tiger Woods and Suzann Pettersen at Notah Begay III Foundation Challenge 2011 are golf partners this year.

The Tiger Woods Suzann Pettersen golf pairing for the Notah Begay III Foundation Challenge is all in fun and for the charity that focuses on the issues and challenges of Native American youth.

World class golfers like Tiger Woods and Suzann Pettersen will be teeing it up at the beautiful Turning Stone Resort’s Atunyote Golf Club on Oneida Indian Nation lands near Verona, N.Y.

Joining Woods and Pettersen are Notah Begay III, Rickie Fowler, Hunter Mahan, Annika Sorenstam, Cristie Kerr, and Natalie Gulbis “in an effort to raise awareness and funding for the improved health and wellness of Native American youth on Indian reservations nationwide,” according to a foundation press release.

The $2.4 million in proceeds from previous challenges have allowed the foundation to partner with groups like Johns Hopkins to fund studies and research. Golfers say that end result is what keeps them coming back to NB3.

Suzann Pettersen had this to say about being Tiger’s partner:

“I think it’s going to be a tough, tough, tough job. I’ve got to carry this guy. But like I said, it’s what Notah’s started here for the Native Americans and to help the kids. Kids are our future.”

That’s the buzz on Tiger Woods Suzann Pettersen NB3 Challenge.

Suzann Pettersen Canadian Women’s Open 2011 – Suzann Pettersen at Canadian Women’s Open 2011 aims to make it three straight wins.

A win for Suzann Pettersen at the Canadian Women’s Open 2011 would help the Norwegian stay firmly seated in her No. 2 spot on the Rolex world ranking; behind the spectacular Taiwanese Yani Tseng, who’s quickly becomming an LPGA legend.

The 2011 Canadian Women’s Open is Suzann Pettersen’s sixth outting at the venue, she missed the cut her first time here, at Niagara Falls in 2004, but has been on fire in her four trips that began in 2007, she tied for second last year behind Michelle Wie in Winnipeg.

Suzann Pettersen playing at the Canadian Women’s Open at Hillsdale Golf & Country Club in Montreal is looking to capitalize on recent wins such as last Sunday at the LPGA Safeway Classic and the Ladies Irish Open at Killeen Castle.

Suzann Pettersen has eight career LPGA wins, is third on the season’s money list, the $1,102,980 from her dozen tournaments a few dollars below No. 2 Kerr and almost $700,000 behind the leading Tseng, both women having played 14 events.

Pettersen not only looks forward to leading the field at the Canadian Women’s Open, but has high hopes for the Solheim Cup next month, which will be played at one of her favorite golf courses, Killeen Castle, Ireland.
