Sponsor News

WELCOME TO OUR NEW CHAPTER SPONSOR



  • ODIN Golf Balls are now a sponsor of our chapter. These balls are designed for the everyday golfer and as a chapter, we have had the opportunity to sample both the ODIN X and the ODIN X1.
  • ODIN Golf is a German-designed product with many of the properties golfers look for in an affordable ball that gives money back to the buyer to keep purchasing additional products.
  • Use this LINK to check out the landing page that ODIN has put together for LPGA Amateurs FTL Chapter. This landing page introduces the company, the ball, benefits to the golfer, and how to order
  • Then follow the Steps to: 1) Create Account, 2) Buy ODIN Balls, 3) Get Ca$hback
  • ODIN X @ $19.99 = 10% cashback and ODIN X1 @ $34.99 = 20% cashback

 

Most of our golfers want predictable ball flight, a ball that has longevity and stays out of the water and bunkers (wink!), a ball that has low spin, and if possible, a variety of colors. 

 

To summarize, most people believe ODIN has good value with good results. If you are looking for a more affordable alternative, and if the brand is less important to you,

this is a ball you should try.

Instructional Corner

Stop the Shanks!

LPGA Class A Teaching Instructor Cathy Kim demonstrates a drill using 4 tees that you can practice on the driving range. Watch her video for better ball striking on the sweet spot and to keep you from shanking your shots.
