GOLF SUPERINTENDENT OF TIERRA RAJADA GOLF CLUB PLANS ON SWITCHING TO THE Mini-Stimp™ FOR MEASURING HIS GREEN SPEEDS

“At Tierra Rajada, we pride ourselves on the quality of our greens and take stimp readings every day. I compared the Mini-Stimp™ with my USGA® Stimpmeter® and found the readings compares well. I also found it to be superior from ease of use. Because of the rolling nature of our greens, I can only get Stimpmeter® readings on six of my eighteen holes because it is impossible to find a twelve foot level section on the others” (required by the USGA® Stimpmeter®). “The Mini-Stimp™ can get a reading in three feet, not twelve! This means that I can now monitor more of my greens. Also, it is three tools in one and I do not have to carry a tape measure, level, or calculator. I plan on using it from now on instead of the traditional Stimpmeter®. Great tool!

Fernando Gonzalez, Golf Superintendent for Tierra Rajada Golf Club, Moorpark California (7,017 yards, Black rating 73.3/130.

"As President of the "Golf Research Group" I have the opportunity to see many new products and ideas but the Scientific Golfer Benchmarking Kit stands out as a unique approach to fully understanding your golfing performance on a club-by-club basis. John Griffith, takes a novel approach of using Continuous Process Improvement (CPI) and applying it to your golfing game.  The author, who is an actual rocket scientist, explained to me how CPI is used in the rocket industry to optimize rocket engine performance and how it can be applied equally well to the process of golf.  I know these "statistical data" methods work through my own personnel experience.  I also was surprised at other unique ideas and insights brought out in the book such as "golf notation for recording each stroke and the results" as well as methods for structuring your practice sessions.  I was also surprised that the book was so well written and enjoyable to read.  I believe the approach will be a success and provide a sound scientific approach for improving your game .

Jim Hopkins, Teaching Pro 35 years and Senior Tour Qualifier, Thousand Oaks, California- "I have found that the Scientific Golfer's Benchmarking method invaluable for improving your game. Getting detailed performance information on each club at the driving range and tracking your play on course allows you to make your driving range practice sessions more focused on the areas needing them most. Knowing your weaknesses as well as your strengths is invaluable in course management. If you want to get better scores, I recommend that you give the Scientific Golfer Benchmarking method a try."..October, 2004
 
Training an athlete's muscles to perform well requires results feedback. The Scientific Golfer Benchmarking Method not only provides a clear analysis of your specific golf skill level but also your positive and negative tendencies. Knowing you tendencies with each club (slicing, hitting off the target line, distance variation) helps you navigate each hole in a way that gives you the best odds of success. The structured practices also provide necessary feedback to help you overcome bad habits. I believe this new approach provides a necessary capability to improve your game."

“I have been playing golf for over 30 years and couldn't get my handicap below 18. When I went to one of the benchmarking seminars, I decided to try it. My first reaction was negative when I was told that it was going to take 8 hours or more to complete. Well, I decided to try it anyway and I was surprised how fast the benchmarking exercises went and have to acknowledge that this was a well spent 10 hours. First of all, it was fun . It was good to have some structure to my practice sessions . The benchmarking results pointed me to a few problem areas that I could focus on. I worked on these and have dropped my handicap 2 strokes. I have never seen anything like this in all of the How to improve books. It just makes sense". Phil Reynolds, CFO of Fortune 200 Company. Woodland Hills , California-
 
 
-"I started playing golf 18 months ago so I could spend more time with my husband. For the first 6-months I was taking lessons and playing rounds with patient friends and occasionally my husband. After initially getting noticeably better, I seemed to stop improving. One Saturday I was at the driving range and seen a benchmarking clinic and out of curiosity I stopped. What they were saying made sense to me so I started benchmarking my game. The thing I liked was that it gave me a clear picture of what I was doing well and where my problem areas were . I used the "scatter area" chart to monitor my progress by trying to get the scatter pattern smaller and smaller. Doing this helped me work on my stroke consistency. I made it a game and cut my scatter pattern down by half and my game improved right along with this. My husband still doesn't invite me to play very often but I am having so much fun playing with some good lady golfers, I don't really care!" Brenda Williams, Calabasas , California
 
"I consider myself to be a serious golfer and only want to get better and better . I don't like to be average. I like to win . The benchmarking method just made sense so I tried it and liked the results of a standardized test to measure my progress. Good idea!".Frank Gelici, Bel Air, California -
 
 
" I have been a pro for fifteen years and using this technique has increased my business significantly . It seems to appeal to my clients to first measure what they can do before I try to tell them how to improve. Another thing that I like is after several months they can re-benchmark and see their improvement . I have found that my clients are staying longer for instruction and I actually have a waiting list".Coleman Weisneck, Studio City , California -
