(PRNewsChannel) / Orlando, Fla. / A new, inexpensive golf training aid helps high school golfers get their heads in the game.
Golf is the fifth most popular high school sport for boys and the eighth for girls. An estimated 220,000 boys and girls participate in the sport nationwide.
The Golf Ring, a new product from Short Games Solutions, LLC., literally creates a ring around the hole to give players a larger, more realistic target while practicing their short game.
The Golf Ring, already popular at many of the nation's top colleges and universities, is made of a revolutionary material that is very durable and is so flexible that it follows the terrain of the green and in no way impedes the ball in its path towards the hole.
When placed on the green it creates a target that enhances visualization towards the pin by defining the area around the hole.
"This is a game changing practice aid that is helping golfers turn around their attitude about practicing their short game, best of all The Golf Ring is the most fun practice aid ever," says Dr. Bob Winters, a sports psychologist who appears regularly on The Golf Channel and is affiliated with the famed David Leadbetter Academy. "Sometimes simplicity is sheer genius and The Golf Ring is pure genius," says Winters.
High school golf coaches help players take time to assess where their players' game is and create plans of action on how to improve. The Golf Ring is an easy short game training aid that helps coaches coach and students learn, coaches say.
"I use The Golf Ring daily with all of the students I work with - from high-level junior players to kids in my junior golf program," says Bryson Worley, who serves as an instructor at a variety of junior golf clinics and camps and also is head golf coach at Gainesville High School in Georgia. "I can't think of a player they couldn't help. The visual feedback they provide is vital to improvement inside 100 yards; be it putting, chipping, pitching, or sand play."
"They are so easy to set up and move, and the different ways in which they can be used really breaks up the monotony of practice. I highly recommend the GolfRing system to coaches and instructors of all levels of golfers. My players love using them and so do I!"
The Golf Ring, used by top pro golf trainers and by many universities, retails for $29.95.
The company is offering a high school student special, $24.95 for The Golf Ring and its smaller sized counterpart The Spot Ring for a $17.00 savings. The regular price as listed is $34.94. Enter code "highschoolgolf" during checkout. For more information, please visit www.thegolfring.com.
