* The Big 6 with... Terris Golf Gloves
-----------------------------------------------------------------
1. Who - Who are you?
Chris & Rita
Terris spent more than seven years in research and development - including
blind testing by top PGA, Senior PGA and LPGA Tour players, as well
as injured and uninjured recreational golfers - before bringing Terris
Golf Gloves to market this year. The innovative gloves are the design
concept of Rita Terris, P.T., C.H.T., one of the nation's premier
Physical Therapists and Certified Hand Therapists. Chris Terris is
the Chairman and Managing Partner of Terris Golf Gloves, which is
headquartered in Bellmore, Long Island, N.Y. For more information
about or to order Terris Golf gloves, call toll-free, 866.426.1482,
or visit http://www.terrisgolf.com.
2. What - What product/service do you provide to the golf community?
Terris Golf Gloves protect the skeletal and soft-tissue structure
of golfers' hands, wrists and arms, and the Competition I & II
models conform with United States Golf Association rules. The gloves
reduce the risk of injuries so golfers of all ages feel better, play
better, and play longer. Terris Golf Gloves are so good that Senior
PGA Tour star Bruce Fleisher wears a Terris Golf Glove in competition,
including during his victory Sept. 15 in the Senior PGA Tour's RJR
Championship. Other Tour professionals also wear Terris Golf Gloves
in Tour events, but their equipment contracts don't allow them to
say so.
"Terris gloves give me the feeling of comfort, protection and security that frees me up to swing better and, therefore, play better, without pain," says Fleisher, winner of the 2001 U.S. Senior Open and 15 Senior PGA Tour events the past four years. "Protecting your hands means likely prevention of injury. Terris Golf addresses the risks, and this is the best way to maximize the enjoyment of the game and the additional number of years you can participate."
3. How - How do Terris Golf Gloves work?
Unique to the golf-glove market, all Terris Golf Gloves exclusively feature VEP T technology ("ViscioElastic Polymer"), manufactured by Akton ®, in the form of 1/8-inch to 3/16-inch polymer pads placed in different areas of each glove model. VEP helps reduce pressure and vibration, and absorbs shock in golfers' hands, wrists and arms (i.e. tennis and golfer's elbow) caused by the club's impact with the ball and the ground. Terris is the only golf-glove company that uses VEP, which is commonly used in the firearms industry to significantly reduce the impact of recoil.
In addition to VEP, Terris gloves are technologically unique for their proprietary "Snap-Tab Closure System." This provides additional protection to various aspects of the wrist as Terris gloves swivel in sync with the lateral movement of the wrist during the swing.
Another benefit to golfers who wear Terris gloves is the mental freedom they experience. This freedom stems from golfers knowing that upon shot impact, they will enjoy greatly improved shock absorption, enabling them to swing freely and confidently. This allows greater biomechanical efficiency and proprioception (hand-to-brain and brain-to-hand communication) to be created.
4. Where - Where
do you sell Terris Golf Gloves?
For more information about or to order Terris Golf gloves, call toll-free,
866.426.1482, or visit http://www.terrisgolf.com.
5. When - When did you begin, and how long have you been in business?
The company began R&D more than seven years ago. Terris Golf Gloves went to market this year.
6. Why - Why
should someone purchase Terris Golf Gloves instead of the
competition?
Terris Golf Gloves feature breakthrough technology, which makes golfers who use them less likely to develop Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, tendonitis, joint arthritis, tennis and golfer's elbow, and other hand, wrist and arm-related debilitations that cause extreme pain and shorten their time playing golf. Golfers who already experience these problems find Terris gloves keep the injuries from becoming exacerbated and, thus, help reduce their pain.
If you'd like to participate in "The Big 6", and have you're golf company highlighted here in future months, please send answers to "The Big 6" to golfprohelp@gmail.com.

* Knowing The Rules
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This scenario occurred in a Minnesota competition in May, 2001:
A player in a four-ball stroke play tournament drove her ball from the tee into the driving range. The driving range was not out-of-bounds. Shortly after the drive, the four players watched as the driving range ball picker cleared the area where the player’s ball had landed. The player returned to the tee and hit again, playing her third shot to the hole. What is the ruling?
This gal considered her ball lost (Rule 27-1) and proceeded with the stroke and distance penalty, which is incorrect. Had she been more familiar with the rules, she would have known that a ball at rest moved by an outside agency (the range picker) must be replaced with no penalty (Rule 18-1).
