Phil Mickelson Thinks Golf Should be in the Olympics

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.

Hit Longer Drives

The part of golf that many golfers take the most pride in is how far they can drive the ball. Unfortunately many drives do not go perfectly straight and tend to have a draw or slice to them that cuts down the distance.

“Your JRMat has been a pleasure to use. Because of the depth of the artificial turf, I can practice on my deck without any problem or feeling of hurting my left elbow. I can hit down on the ball, thus encouraging effective ball striking.

It has been a joy to practice and get some good exercise without a trip to the driving range.

Thank you for making such a great product that makes it fun to practice.”

With these golf driving range mats, your game will certainly improve in all aspects because of how easily you can practice proper swing techniques. The golf driving mat along with limited flight golf balls will help you hit straighter and longer drives to help your game significantly.
