Shawn Cox, PGA Dir. of Golf, Joins the Club + Resort Talks Podcast to Discuss Sharon Heights G&CC
Shawn Cox, PGA Director of Golf at Sharon Heights Golf & Country Club joined Rob Thomas on the Club + Resort Talks podcast to discuss the recent golf course renovation, as well as an upcoming addition to the club.
The club reopened with a refreshed and enhanced golf experience after a $23 million renovation by Todd Eckenrode and Origins Golf Design. Approved by the club in 2019, this comprehensive redesign spanned all 18 holes and was crafted to create a more engaging layout, elevate aesthetics, and support the club’s sustainability goals.
The club also secured the green light for a 15,000-sq.-ft., state-of-the-art facility which will serve as a maintenance and operations center. It is seen as a landmark in sustainable renovation and environmental stewardship.
Also in the news ... After more than a century of serving its members and the Wheeling, W.Va., community, the Wheeling Country Club has announced plans to close on Dec. 31. The decision comes after years of significant challenges, as shared in a letter sent to members. The club has pledged to continue providing exceptional service and experiences for all guests and events until its final day of operation. Meanwhile, discussions are underway to explore future uses for the property. Collaborations with Oglebay and other local stakeholders are being considered as part of this process.
Heritage Golf Group, an owner and operator of private country clubs and high-end daily-fee courses across the U.S., acquired its 39th club, Ptarmigan Country Club in Fort Collins, Colo. The Flack family, who owned the club for more than 20 years, selected Heritage as the purchaser. This acquisition marks Heritage’s fourth property in the Greater Denver area, further strengthening its presence in Colorado. The other three properties in the area are award-winning daily fee courses: The Golf Club at Bear Dance, Plum Creek Golf Club, and Colorado National Golf Club.
Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort Hotel has unveiled a state-of-the-art indoor golf and entertainment venue, Circling Raven Golf Suites, where golfers and non-golfers can immerse themselves in interactive fun, choosing from a variety of games. With access to more than 80 iconic courses like The Old Course at St. Andrews and Pebble Beach, the simulators bring every slope, tree, and green to life with breathtaking detail. Between games, guests can relax in style with plush lounge seating, HDTVs, and music, while savoring food and drinks delivered from select casino eateries.

It eliminates torque to give all golfers the ability to repeat their stroke. The hallmark of great putting is returning the putter face to square at impact.

The Thursday Three Dives into the Rebellion Riddle: Why Rules Without Relationships Lead to Revolt
I really enjoy your channel, especially the way you cover, I noticed a few areas where I could help optimize your videos to reach larger audience. Would you be open to discussing that further?
No offense but couldn’t you take the device out of the package to show us how it works? I like to know how simple or hard it is to track the distance of your shots, how many steps you took on the course, and how to record your scores. Your demonstration is as helpful if you just had an audio podcast. You didn’t really show us the product. You told us what the product website stated. I guess you didn’t want to fully unbox it so you can return it for a refund.
Also does it include a carabiner to clip on your bag? We don’t know because you didn’t fully unbox it and show us. Also you could have shown us how the app works with the device. C’mon put a little more information in your next product review.
USELESS....why not SHOW us HOW it works ON a tennis court? a talking head holding it does nothing
Are you dependent , or promoting the company and their pills?
Glad to find your review! So many from 4-6 YEARS ago with mixed comments, website auto billing scam complaints, and even label looked different, so maybe they changed many things since then. So, this was unboxing, and it's been 4 months...how's it going for u? I want to buy after being wowed by their you tube sales video, but I'm on fence and want to talk to real pll with real results. 1st comment!
Did you end up giving it a shot? It seems I’m in the same spot you were. I’m not expecting it to do anything weight loss related tbh. I do however believe it could vastly impact my day to day considering my gut bacteria has always been a known problem of mine. Lmk if you
Just bought this towel. The scrubber isn't great. It needs to be harder, and the nubs need to be pointed more to get into the groves. The towel, however, is great.
The BATTERY IS NOT REPLACABLE......THEY DON'T TELL YOU THAT. THE BATTERY WEARS OUT TOSS IT IN THE GARBAGE.....THEY TELL YOU IT COMES IN FOUR (4) COLORS BUT NOT ABOUT THE BATTERY....
Shuuusshhh
I like your enthusiasm for the Bushnell Phantom 3 Slope. I recently bought one and am totally frustrated with it. I bought it because my original Phantom unit, which I think I've had for 3 years, has this year decided to reboot itself in the middle of a round of golf. So, I bought the Phantom 3. The "manual" from the box does nothing more than identify what each symbol on the screen means. I've called Bushnell several times and get onky recordings saying they're very busy with other calls but they can call me back. However, the recording does not enable you to leave your phone number. So, I'd like to learn how to use the piece. When I'm on the golf course and try to use it, I invariably push a feature on the screen to, for example, advance the hole I'm on. Trying to scroll to the appropriate number is not easy, especially when wearing a golf glove. Then to find out where the hazards are for the hole is impossible. I use to be able to accomplish this more quickly and efficiently by pushing the Upper or Lower buttons on the keft side of my original Phantom unit. Now I become so frustrated on the course that I say "The hell with it. This thing is a piece of junk." So, are you able to help me? Thank you for your consideration.
I got the watermelon and drag9n fruit
I just came back from PGA superstore and hit the Tru Feel as far as the Pro V both over 280 with same driver. They have a good feel with irons too.
Thank you for the comment, Mark. Technology is so advanced now. People are getting fitted for clubs and should spend an extra 30 minutes getting fitted for the right golfball.
Have a nice day
Did you film this at Brookledge? Lol
Doesn’t use it anymore
One more question😂 I wear size 9,5 with adidas and size 10 with nike. This model is true to size or runs small?
I would size up. Go with the 10.
Some review on the web says it is close to a zero drop shoe from the heel. But it seems to have some elevation at the heel. How would you describe/compare this model on that level?
I've worn zero-drop shoes in the past and can confirm that the X Tour Proto RS is NOT zero drop. If you've worn basketball shoes or cross trainers, that's more of the feel.
@@clubresortbusiness1239one more question 😂 really appreciate your response very helpful. Im wearing size 9,5 (adidas) and size 10 (nike). Do you think its true to size or runs small?
Good one
Great idea! Great video!
Congratulations, you are supporting Russia by buying this shoes.
Do the tape come with the grips or do i buy it diffrently
The tape is not included.
I have a red one I purchased a few years ago. I've always wondered about the small hole on the end of the handle...was it by design just during production (aided in painting) or was it meant for some use?
Was the shoe true to fit? Or did you go a size up?
That's a good question. I generally wear a 10, but the 10.5 fit better. Size up.
Fantastic
These look great
Matt ... If you've ever worn TRUE, you know how great they feel, too. So light and comfortable.
@@clubresortbusiness1239 I have the all white OG 1.2. But really wanted these masters editions. Enjoy!
Awful review. We can go to the website and read marketing materials in less time than this took. How about your experience trying it on or playing golf in it. Something we can get readily that has value to the audience
Thank you for watching, James. In our defense, this was an unboxing video - not a review. To your point, however, we will take them out now that the weather has turned here in Ohio and offer a review. Have a great weekend!
Interested by a follow up video for the review on course. Do you think the achilles heel cushion is durable? I have experienced some shoes breaking there causing blisters
@@charles-edouardbertrandfab6903 Hello Charles ... We've had them on the golf course and they were very comfortable. The heel cushion shows no sign of poor construction or potential "early" breakdown. That said, we've not logged a lot of miles just yet.
@@clubresortbusiness1239 thank you for your reply!
This product is just expensive junk.
Best way to use this grip… is to use it in the normal way… will probably blow your mind… blew mine.
*promo sm*
I can't fit it in the bag😂
😮😮😮😮LX
Adding QR codes to LSMs instead of just having the 6 digit codes would be another good step forward
Excellent overview of why Audubon International is a world leader in certification for environmental sustainability best practices for golf courses, resorts, hotels, municipalities and more. Thank you!
This isn't an unboxing. You didn't unbox anything. You didn't show everything that comes in the box.
Tried these but couldn’t play them well. Sent them back
do you normally hit well?
Will it pair with the regular blue tees player speaker
No, the Player+ doesn't sync with the Player but they are introducing the new Player, Player Go, and it will pair.
Great!
Does it work in lower light conditions?
Best accessory in golf!
Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave your thoughts!
How nuch
This is a cool idea !! I made a retractable leaf “rake/broom” on the other end of my ball retriever which is cheaper but not as cool 😎 Definitely gonna check out zoom broom ! Thanks.
Here’s an idea for ya …. Why not create a hat that has a magnetic strip on the peak and around the brim, then take sunglasses and embed magnets on arms and bottoms of the frames. ( or vice-versa ) When paired together you have a “system” that works together so you never have your glasses flip off of your head in your swing, or while bending over or other physical activities. Also this would drastically reduce the amount of spring tension needed to keep glasses a fixed on your hat in the forward or backward position. Just one of my many ideas for golf inventions 😆 I also have a doozie of an idea to revolutionize push carts.
Pace of play could be addressed at least at clubs that require you to take a cart by putting an iPad, AKA a “virtual caddy “ .. With the current gps systems and geo fence technologies that we have in this day and age there’s no reason that when you pull up to your ball an on screen caddy can suggest the best way to approach your next shot. Meanwhile giving you friendly reminders of where you SHOULD be on the course at the present time.
I love had my head buried in my family, work,and music for so long I never knew there was life to be had in golf that could be like waking up in a dream everyday!! You guys sure are lucky lucky people. Kudos to you !
That is a pretty snazzy looking putter !! I really enjoy your reviews. Great info and products. You deserve a way bigger audience! What if….you had a sidekick asking questions that the typical unknowing golfer would ask about the stuff you unbox, and someone to hit the links with that people could relate too !?!?! Like a guy who is a welder/ musician looking for a new job !! I know a guy …**cough cough**
Delicious!! And nutritious!! 👍👍👍👍😋😋😋💙💙💙
this was way more helpful than any other vid i found on this grip thanks
😥 *Promo sm*
I was looking at both of these products but wanted to see a little more detail in them. This was the perfect video for that! Lol thank you
