On newstands today BirdieBall by Birdie Ball Inc. is the best golf training aid invented this century! That's a bold statement, but golf coaches and PGA golf instructors around the world agree, and have voted it the PGA, Product of the Year for 2005! It is a limited flight practice golf ball without limited feel. True feel with a long hang time, golf ball-like, trajectory! But it only flies 40 yards, so you have your own backyard driving range. Take a full swing. Draw it Fade it. Grab a buddy, get 40 yards apart and hit them back and forth. You wont believe the turbine sound created by the high rate of reverse spin. It's very durable, in fact the Pro Series wont break like other perforated practice balls or wiffleballs. Use the StrikePad to simulate taking a divot. It is a cambered polymer pad designed to replace conventional golf mats and turf pads. The cambered surface of the StrikePad creates an air cushion at impact. The Strike Pad will not grab the club. This protects your leading elbow by reducing jarring that happens when hitting off of other golf pads. The StrikePad deflects down at impact and follow through, and then rebounds back in the blink of an eye. In addition to being an incredible training aid, the BirdieBall is just plain fun. The 2004 PGA Merchandise Show marked the Birdie Balls introduction to the golf world. Adam Barr, Business Analyst with the Golf Channel, featured the "eyebrow raiser" to open the show. By the end of the show the BirdieBall had won one of the 2004 product of the year awards! Mark Murphy with Golf Digest's Golf World writes in the February 6th 2004 edition that odds are good that the Birdie Ball Inc will be successful. We know that you will agree. Chipping in Small Areas The feel one develops by chipping the BirdieBall in small confined areas is one of the BirdieBalls most incredible features. Although the BirdieBall is awesome for practicing a full swing it may be best when used indoors or in very small outdoor areas. Unlike all other off-course golf ball like devices the BirdieBall has rebound. When chipping a golf ball the feel of the ball on the club and the associated rebound are key to understanding how far your shot will travel. Further, lofting and de-lofting the golf club creates different feel and spin on the ball. The BirdieBall feels and spins like a golf ball as well in the chipping realm as in the full swing realm. Further, when using the BirdieBall with a very lofted club (pitching wedge) inside of its maximum 40-60 yard range the comparable distance is very similar to an actual golf ball. Lets take a quarter swing pitching wedge for example. I would expect a quarter swing pitching wedge to travel about 20 to 25 yards on a golf course. A quarter swing pitching wedge with BirdieBall will travel a comparable distance. A short chipping move with a straight left side and no wrist break would be equal to chipping a golf ball into a high back chair from short range, about ten feet. I practice chipping BirdieBalls into my chair at my office. It is the same exact move and feel. The reason it works so well is because the less we compress either a golf ball or BirdieBall the more they feel, fly and spin like one another. When I travel, I travel with about a dozen BirdieBalls and a collapsible pitching wedge (for sale right here). When bored in the hotel room, I will chip BirdieBalls into the heavy curtain covering the sliding doors. I put a trash can under my target area and watch the BirdieBalls slide down the pleat right into the hotels trash can. Hows that for downtime target practice! Hitting Driver One of the questions we get all of the time is; I can see where practicing irons and fairway woods would be great, but, can I hit Driver? Absolutely, we will soon be packaging all BirdieBalls with a BirdieBall tee (coming soon). Until then, there are a couple of different ways to elevate the BirdieBall so that you can take the big cut with the big 460cc Bang-O-Matic. First you can stack one BirdieBall on top of another. Hit the top one off of the bottom one. Second, take a kitchen sponge, cut it in half, stack it up and hang the BirdieBall off of one side. You can also hang it off of the edge of the Tee Up Area on the StrikePad. Awesome! BirdieBall as a Golf Gift BirdieBall may be the best golf gift that you can give a golfer. Regardless of whether the golfer is a low handicapper or simply a beginner this golf gift is truly right on the mark. Golf gifts are hard to choose because the golf gift often has to fit, in the world of golf gifts this is one size fits all levels of golfer. Further, golf gifts are hard to choose because you dont want to by the golfer something that the golfer already has. This gift has been getting rave reviews all over the world for the last couple of years. Recently the StrikePad has been improved to include an illustrated swing plane which helps the beginner understand the fundamental inside to outside swing path. Low handicappers use the pad as a surface from which they can practice the down and through motion without tearing up the lawn. BirdieBall Golf Tips In this web site we have a page dedicated to golf tips. The golf swing is complicated. We believe that there are really only five golf tips that you need to remember. The first tip is a golf tip on the golf grip; the second golf tip is a tip on the golf club takeaway, the Y to L position. The third tip is a golf tip with regard to the position of the golf club at the top of the swing along with the inside to outside motion of the golf club on the downswing. The fourth golf tip is the importance of club head rotation through the hitting zone. The fifth and final tip is a tip on the down and through motion when using your irons. Please visit these golf tips on-line. You can visit the Golf Tips section by clicking now. Just place your cursor over this section. These golf tips are free. Here is another golf tip: Practice with BirdieBallsthat is the best golf tip any golf tips reference could give you. P.S. The BirdieBall is also great for corporate logos.

A simple one-page contract between the donor and a qualified organization such as Skidmore completes the arrangement. Typically, a CGA is funded with cash or securities. In exchange, Skidmore guarantees a specified annuity payment for the lifetime of one or two recipients. An annuity may be funded with a minimum gift of $5,000. Favorable income tax and capital gains tax treatment is also possible. Annuity rates of return depend on the age(s) of the beneficiary(ies) and whether the annuity payments will be immediate or deferred. In a deferred arrangement, annuity payments are delayed until a date (typically a 65th birthday) selected by the donor. It's a great way for younger donors to make a gift now, receive immediate tax benefits, and set up a future source of retirement income at much higher return rates. Please call or email to learn more. Bring Legacy to Life! Philanthropy • Legacy • Security The Office of Gift Planning urges donors to consult their legal and other professional advisors when considering charitable gift giving. Our staff is always pleased to work directly with donors and their advisors during the process. Creative Thought Matters.
