Phil Mickelson believes that golf should be an Olympic sport by the year 2016 because of how it would help develop the growth of golf worldwide.

“It would bring in 168 different countries and their Olympic foundation, and all those revenues would be going toward the growth of the game of golf.” -Phil Mickelson

With this idea, Mickelson also suggested that golf in the Olympics would actually be more important for the game than events such as this weekend’s PGA Championship. While Mickelson favors the idea, others such as Trevor Immelman believe that not only golf should not be in the Olympics, but also basketball and tennis, citing the sports were too professional and the athletes who played them were being paid too much money already. Worldwide interest in golf may increase with its addition to the Olympics, but take away the majors to accomplish this? I don’t know about that.

One of the most difficult shots in golf is the touch chip shot from a few yards off the green. In that situation, multiple options for golfers are available, including a chip and run shot with a seven or eight iron, or a lob shot that will sit very close to its first contact with the green. The difficulty of this shot makes it essential to practice.

“I have been skeptical of golf mats that claim to feel like grass. I love the game of golf and want practice equipment that will help me improve my game. I’ve been through a number of golf mats that had claimed to feel like grass and up until now have been disappointed. Before spending hundreds if dollars on another promise I wanted to “test drive” the Country Club Elite Mat for myself.

I only needed to take a few swings with my 7-iron to know that I came to the right place. I purchased the 5×5 on the spot - if your looking for a great practice aid you should too.

Cordially,”
