Lehigh Valley and Poconos Golf Course Stories

Golfers today are constantly bombarded with fancy marketing messages from equipment manufactures vying for their business. Amidst all the flash and hype, how can the average player know what will actually help their game? It can be difficult to differentiate the gimmicks from those products that offer a true technological advancement. One company that is absolutely the “real deal” and worth checking out is Boccieri Golf: maker of the Heavy Putter.

In order to truly value the Heavy Putter you must get to know its inventor, Stephen Boccieri. A scratch golfer and nuclear engineer, Boccieri applied the skills from his day job to his passion, spending his spare time evaluating equipment from all major manufacturers. He was puzzled by the structural inconsistencies that existed across the board and soon began modifying the equipment to improve performance, an admittedly self serving task as he was searching for ways to better his own game.

On the golf course, a few feet can be the difference between finding a hazard and landing in a safe spot with a good angle to attack the pin, and club selection is often an integral component in reducing distances to the cup if you're able to find the putting surface.

GreenFinder Golf GPS , a system that utilizes already-exisiting global positioning systems on your iPhone or Blackberry to calculate the distance from the golfer to various targets on the course, is a simple, convenient and affordable way to improve your golf game by having the right club in your hand and the information necessary to make the right play.

Glen Brook’s Championship 18-Hole Golf Course is one of the oldest courses in the Poconos, designed in 1924 by renowned Scottish architect Robert White. With scenic mountains in the background, for over 6,500 yards, Glen Brook is a gently rolling course that brings water into play on six holes.

With its well bunkered, relatively small greens and wide variety of holes, Glen Brook Golf Club is a sporty, never boring golf experience. There’s a challenge on every hole for both the high and low handicapper.

The Stroud House, the historic and gracious clubhouse built in the late 1790’s, offers lunch daily, dinners Friday and Saturday evenings, plus relaxing cocktails by the fireplace in our 19th century pub, providing a perfect atmosphere to compliment your day of golf.
