Golf Talk Live

Welcome to “Golf Talk Live!

Join me with special guests:

Ken Bishara - One of the founders of Monsta Golf Balls.

Monsta Golf started as an idea back in the spring of 2013 by 2 working dads from Boston who love the game of golf. Dave and Ken, the founders of Monsta Golf, realize the key to an exceptional golf game is consistency and the short game.Using the same golf ball while honing your skills is an important factor in being consistent. Almost every brand of golf ball performs differently, especially around the greens. This causes variations in accuracy and performance. Some golf balls are for distance, some for spin. The top performing brands currently on the market that are constructed to do both, retail for $48/dozen or more. Golf can be expensive enough!

Later in the show I interview:

Meredith Kirk – LPGA Teaching Professional, Owner of Meredith Kirk Golf & Junior Golf Exchange, plus 2014 Mrs. South Carolina.

Meredith Kirk is a LPGA certified golf instructor and is passionate about teaching golf. Along with teaching golf, Meredith is a media consultant with nationally recognized organizations. With 16 years teaching experience with top PGA and LPGA instructors and players. Voted one of the ‘Most Beautiful Women in Golf 2014-2015′ by Golf.com and ‘Best Golf Teachers Under 40′ by Golf Digest 2014-2015 and Mrs. South Carolina 2014.

Welcome to “Golf Talk Live!

Join me this week as I welcome my special guest:

Gary Brooks – PGA Teaching Professional, Owner of G. A. Brooks Golf Company & Inventor of the Straight Arm.

A little about Gary:

Gary Brooks began his teaching career as an Assistant Golf Professional in 1979. Gary’s knowledge of the swing increased when he had the opportunity to work with one of the Golf Digest Top 100 Teachers, Ed Oldfield. Through the years, Gary was always trying to find different ways to improve his student's swing. Gary felt, if his students could repeat the positions they learned during their lesson, they would be more consistent and enjoy playing golf a lot more.

As golf teaching aids became more popular with the average golfer, they also became wonderful tools to a PGA Professional. With a variety of teaching aids on the market, students quickly learned that feeling the correct swing fundamentals did improve their swings. In 1990, Gary experimented with many of his own prototypes of teaching aids that he believed would help his students. After a year of many wild contraptions, concepts and theories, Gary believed he came up with a teaching aid that would be helpful to the PGA Professional in their teaching but also to the passionate students who couldn’t afford the help of a PGA Professional. In 1991, Gary invented his teaching aid the “Original” Straight Arm.
