Jack Nicklaus was far ahead of the curve on this one, when he promoted a faster version of the game of golf on "reduced distance" (executive length) courses several years ago.  He envisioned a more practical golf course by "scaling" the course and the balls length down to a more sustainable size allowing for quicker 2-3 hour, 18-hole rounds.  The problem at the time was, that the golf ball being used, was not very satisfactory and turned people off.  I tried it and it was quick, affordable and fun to play, but the ball definitely needed improvement.  

The development of the new tru-scale,Pointfive MD Hybrid golf ball, addresses the major issues associated with the acceptance & growth of "limited flight" golf game.  Used by thousands of golfers and over a decade of testing, has proven that this ball meets & exceeds expectations, where other balls have failed.  

The Hybrid golf ball and a new world economy, have renewed interest in a more, economical and practical form of play.  Jack's original reduced golf course concept has regained a renewed interest leading to the development of, the new generation "Hybrid golf course".  Sustainable to build, maintain and play, these courses meet the overall requirements of a new paradigm...Time...Cost...Enjoyment & Eco-Sensitive! 

It used to be that golf was a top recreational activity preferred by many.  Well not anymore!  New 2010 surveys show golf continuing to sink in popularity in spite of numerous industry initiatives to attract and retain golfers.

What's causing this shift away from getting out on the course?  Experts say that newcomers are intimidated by golf, along with seasoned golfers who are completely dropping the sport.  Many say the big issue is the time factor, for others it's the cost.  Today's faster paced lifestyle works opposite a game that hasn't gotten any quicker.  People find it exceedingly difficult to justify a six-hour block of time for golf.  Longer and more difficult courses have made it hard for the average golfer, let alone beginners to enjoy themselves.

Current studies show that time, cost & difficulty are the major reasons golf is losing broad appeal.  A changing world culture has exposed the limitations of our father's golf course and it's evident that the traditional full-sized golf course cannot adequately adapt to these needs.  

However, even in these constrained times, there is a updated practical & economical growth approach, which is attracting a "new breed" of golfer to the game. It's called Hybrid golf and is played on shorter (executive, par-3 & mid-length) golf courses across the country.  Using the same traditional format, with the new hi-performance Hybid MD (mid-length) golf ball, improves the shorter course design & play to a new level, complete with par-3's, 4's & 5 holes.  Allows for a quick, affordable & fun regulation golf round to be played in a modest 2-3 hours....also, the ball floats and you can actually walk the course again!

Here is an effective way to stimulate an industry in severe decline.
