For those who hear complaints about just how often they golf may be happy to know that there are some real benefits to playing golf. You may not hit that hole in one every time you play, but there are other benefits you will have if you take the time to play.

• Golf is good exercise. It is an ideal way to get exercise into your life. Most courses are about four to six miles from the tee to the green. If you walk the distance, you are getting in at least some cardio. In some cases, researchers say that every hour spent on the course with moderate activity will burn 350 to 380 calories.

• Interaction with other people. Another reason to play golf more frequently is the interaction with other people. As we age, it becomes important to continuously challenge the mind and the body. The interaction and competition with others helps to stimulate the brain, keeping it healthy.

Golf can help you to lose weight, build muscle tone and even improve your overall mental sharpness. If you have not been on the golf course in some time, there has never been a better time to do so.

When was the last time you got an ace? How about the last time you played in a golf tournament or a putting contest?  If it has been a while, let the family know just how miraculous golf can be for your overall well-being. Who knew the green could be so good for you and so much fun?

People who get hole in ones seem to be starting early. A teenager recently made this feat look easy. The evening telegraph of Peterborough, UK has listed on their website that, “Burghley youngster Tom Hutton was over the moon last week after scoring his first ever hole-in-one. And Tom (14) will have no problem getting the feat verified as he was playing with club secretary Howard Mulligan!” The Evening Telegraphy’s website is www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk. Our congratulations go out to this young man. That’s a job well done! Whilst reading this article we at US Hole In One also noticed that the Evening Telegraph does a lot for golf in that area. They arranged for Lee Westwood to visit a local course and take part in a three day academy. A very fortunate junior golfer got to partake in this three day event as he won a Evening Telegraph competition. He recollected of the event was as follows: “It was an amazing experience to meet Lee, especially after watching him on TV at the Open.”

Our next story takes us to Detroit. This is a truly special story that will hopefully inspire you instantly. MLive.com tells us a lot about a 14 year old boy called Brad Patton. He is from Slyvan Township in Detroit. However the next part of MLive.com’s report is hard to read. In October Brad suffered brain damage and broke his back and femur when a Dodge Dakota truck hit him and launched him 45 feet in the air.

However, this month young Brad defied colossal odds and showed us the insurmountable power of the human spirit. The same report goes on to proudly tell us that he hit a hole-in-one on a 125-yard hole at Union Lake Golf Course.

“All of the doctors didn’t think I would talk, they didn’t know if I would even survive,” Brad told the Oakland Press. “I feel extremely lucky.”

Brad has clearly taught us that we are all capable of achieving things that we never thought were possible. The key is to never give up.

The hole in one has long been the luck of the draw, but some people seem to be able to hit an ace more frequently than other golfers do. Is there a trick? Perhaps there is some skill you can learn to improve your chances?

A question many people often ask when purchasing hole in one insurance is just how likely it is for their tournament golfers to actually hit that ace. Any time that an average golfer steps to the tee at a par 3 hole, they have the probability of sinking an ace at 1 in 12,500 attempts. In fact, US Hole In One actually conducted a survey to determine what these results are.

Interestingly, many of those that talk about these odds do one of two things. First, they promise that the process is simplistic and even easy to do. It is not. Second, they sometimes claim that the hole in one is simply too hard to achieve and that is an exaggeration. What our survey showed, which was conducted over a five year period, is that the numbers are a bit closer than what people like to think. What our survey did, too, was to show what the actual par 3 scoring information was. The average distance for a hole in one was calculated to be 162 yards. In other words, the survey we conducted has helped to give our users as well as our team a better understanding of how frequently the average golfer can hit a hole in one.

In recent years Golf Tournaments have steadily become a popular way to raise money for a charity or cause.  The primary reason a company would support a tournament is an association with the cause.  Another reason to support a tournament is for a chance to use effective and proven advertising to generate business for you company.

Research at various marketing and advertising firms has supported the use of advertising at tournaments.  One of most popular and widely used companies was car dealerships. The research yielded results supporting all forms of advertising that could be used at golf tournaments.  The usage of hats and bags sporting the company logo were taken into factor.  As well as the signage used around the course, to the cars that were on display at the hole-in-one.  These various methods helped expose the company to many people, which in turn drew more people to the dealership interested in purchasing a car.  These results generated more numbers than paper advertisements and radio spots.

Research and studies aside sponsoring a golf outing is also an effective way to reach out to customers on a more personal and local level.  People view a company’s interest in a local charity or cause as an interest in the community itself.  This along with effective advertsing generates a positive association with the company.

US Hole in One has been producing event and sponsor signs for years.  Whether it be several prize signs for the hole in one insurance to orders of a couple dozen custom hole and event signs, it can all be done professionally and in a timely fashion.
