Anyone notice an interesting equipment choice while watching the Winter Olympics? Watch the Short-track Speed Skating, Luge, and Bobsled events closely. Most of the athletes are wearing GOLF GLOVES for traction when pushing on the ice, etc. Apolo Ohno had a Foot-Joy glove, several bobsledders were wearing Taylor-Made, etc.

I didn't notice it myself, but I just found this on Yahoo sports. Apollo has a golf glove on his right hand and some glove with gold tips on his left. Looks like he blacked out the Footjoy logo on the glove or had the one with the ball-marker insert and just took that out.

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By GolfLug ·

      Imma throw a dart in the dark as no one can tell what is happening once every fourth iron shot per your OP. This might sound counterintuitive but if ball position is too far back in the stance folks are known to throw down clubhead steeply. Could be happening. And yes, @billchaois not wrong; clubhead tends to bottom out wherever your pressure is. So slide forward (not sway), then hit.

      Day 24: Missed my weekly round due to a last minute little league makeup game this morning. Managed to get in some backswing rehearsals while grilling sausages for dinner, and then putted around the office/laundry room after dinner.

      but I don't understand how that's possible you still want your head to stay back you don't want the upper body coming forward and plus I've tried feeling that and it made my fat shots worse and I then tend to pull and sky all my shots especially with driver because I get in front of it dont need force plates to see i finish on my left side
