Much is written about muscle memory for golf and much of it is probably true. Interestingly, one does not hear about muscle memory from the top professionals. The reason is that for them, their muscle memory is already developed and they started developing it at early ages. Tiger Woods was seen on national television at age two with a swing that was already well developed. Arnold Palmer started playing at age four, Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, and Jack Nicklaus at age 10. Marlene Bauer Hagge started at age three. Many of the new young golfers like Sean O'Hair, Zach Johnson, Paula Creamer and Morgan Pressel, all started at age 10 or younger.
Some physiologists say that it takes over 10,000 repetitions of the desired movement to be memorized by one's muscles. They also say that proper feedback is required for the muscles to memorize that desired movement. Young golfers gain such feedback from their instructors or even better, on the course or practice range. The feedback is given in the form of well struck shots. So the golfers try to continue to do what they did to achieve that perfect shot.
With maybe 50 to 60 shots per round (30 or so for putting) it would take 200 rounds of golf to achieve 10,000 repetitions. And these would not even be repetitions of the same shot. Fourteen of the 50 would be with the driver; five or so with fairway clubs; maybe 30 with irons; and different irons at that. Even more to consider is that the only positive feedback gained during a round is when the golfer hit the perfect shot. No other verbal or tactile feedback is given, unless the golfer was playing the round with his professional instructor.
Wow! Is there any hope for the golfer who started playing at age 25 or later? Yes, and that is why numerous training aids were invented, several of which focused on developing muscle memory for a specific aspect of the swing. One of the most successful is a hinged iron or driver that has a break designed in its shaft. The shaft collapses if either the golfer's take away or follow through are not properly executed. Another aid is a jacket that restrains the golfer's torso from performing unwanted moves. Still another is a plane guide which helps the golfer to develop muscles that enable a repeatable and proper plane for the full swing. All such aids work by providing feedback so that the golfer will swing correctly, eliminate their swing flaws and ultimately, repeat the desired swings.
I have tried these three as well as many other aids for the grip, the wrist, the left arm, the triangle, and more, all with varying successes. My biggest flaw and perhaps the biggest flaw of most high handicap golfers, was that of coming up and out of my shot. I could not keep my head behind the ball through impact. I could not maintain my spine angle.
Wanting to improve my game, I did considerable research on the golf swing and found much of it to be contradictory and arguable. Two aspects of the swing however emerged as being irrefutable. And they were pertinent to my flaws. Every pro will agree to: keep your head behind the ball through impact and maintain your spine angle. In fact it is difficult to do one without the other. By focusing on developing muscle memory with these two aspects of my swing, I was finally able to break 80 (shot a 78) for the first time in my life at age 65. I have shot in the 70's several times since.
Correct muscle memory for golf can be developed at any age with tactile feedback and repetition.

Digital Memory Buying Guide
Digital memory devices let you store and retrieve data whenever you need. They are compatible with most electronic goods. Many consumers prefer digital memory devices because of their small size, durability and portability. There are many different types of digital memory devices in the market. It is always good to consider which kind of digital memory device is compatible with your electronics before choosing one.
How does a memory card store data?
A memory card functions electronically and uses flash memory, also called flash RAM, to store data on non-volatile memory chips. Memory cards have the ability to electrically erase or reprogram any recorded data.
What are the different types of memory devices available in the market?
CompactFlash (CF):
CompactFlash is in the size of a matchbox and is used in a variety of electronic devices, including PDAs, digital cameras, digital voice recorders and set-top television boxes. There are two models: Type I and Type II. The latter is thicker and provides expandable memory options. Type I cards will often fit in a standard laptop PC slot with the use of an inexpensive adapter and are also compatible with Compact Flash Type II slots. CompactFlash cards can be used in a PCMCIA slot if you have an adaptor. Otherwise, you need a device with a CompactFlash Type I slot.
SmartMedia (SM):
The SmartMedia is often called as SSFDC cards (Solid-State Flash Digital Cards). They are as thin as credit cards and about the size of a matchbox. They are specifically designed for portable digital devices such as digital cameras, portable MP3 players, PDAs and the like. SmartMedia is available with storage capacities of up to 128 megabytes. Some devices have slots for both Smart Media and CompactFlash cards. If this is not the case, you need a SmartMedia slot to use a SmartMedia card.
MultiMedia Card (MMC):
The MMC is a postage stamp-sized card used in mobile phones, pagers, video cameras, global positioning systems, portable MP3 players and PDAs. Their storage capacity ranges from 256 MB to 4 GB. Devices that use Secure Digital cards will also accept MultiMedia Cards.
Secure Digital (SD):
The Secure Digital memory card succeeded the MMC card. It is slightly thicker than the MMC card, has additional storage capacity and a digital copyright security scheme to store copyrighted data. This digital memory device is popular among many new PDAs, organizers, phones, and MP3 players. Devices that use MultiMedia Cards may also accept Secure Digital cards.
Memory Stick:
The memory stick is a storage device developed exclusively by Sony. It is most compatible with Sony products like digital cameras, portable MP3 players and PDAs. They have a storage capacity of 256 MB to 8 GB and support 1.1 and 2.0 USB for better connectivity. There is a special version of the Memory Stick with digital-rights management features for certain devices. This card is known by one of the following names - Magic Gate Memory Stick, MagicGate Memory Stick Duo Media, or Memory Stick PRO Duo Media. Users can share and transport data via their computer's USB port with the help of Micro Vault USB Storage Media.
xD Picture Card:
The xD-Picture card is the smallest storage format developed for recording, storing and transporting audio-visual information. In addition, xD-Picture Cards are designed to minimize power consumption and extend the battery life of your digital devices. You can use xD cards in a CompactFlash slot if you have an adaptor. Some devices have slots for both xD and SmartMedia cards. If the device does not have both slots, only a device with an xD slot will work with an xD Picture card.
What are Memory Card Readers and Adapters?
Memory card adapters maximize a memory card's performance by increasing data transfer speeds to 60 MB/sec. Besides the potential for expansion, memory card adapters have the ability to transfer data without having to connect the device to your computer with a cable. The memory card readers read most of the memory cards including all SD cards, CF cards, MMC series and much more. Most of the readers also offer writing capability and thus they function as a pen drive.
Which brands are most popular?
Memory cards produced by digital device manufacturers, like Sony and Olympus, tend to be quite popular with consumers. If you are concerned about the speed of your digital memory device, opt for brands like Lexar, SimpleTech or SanDisk. Lexar high speed cards, SimpleTech ProX cards and SanDisk Ultra cards have significantly higher speeds than most standard memory cards.
What are the handling instructions for using a memory card?
Do not remove a memory card from a device while data is being processed. It is advisable to switch off the operating device before removing a memory card. Also, you should remove a memory card from any device that is low in battery charge. Avoid touching the metal connectors of memory cards, especially those on Secure Digital cards, Smart Media cards and XD cards, to avoid electrostatic discharge of data.

Add Gatorade to the list of endorsement deals that Tiger Woods has lost. A representative for the drink, sold by PepsiCo Inc., confirmed late that it had ended its relationship with the golfer, who made a lengthy public apology last week for his infidelities.
