Golfers experiencing sudden and violent hacking, acute hydrophobia, particularly on long par threes, or the inoperable dead-pull left . . . fear not, help is one swing away.

The ease and enjoyment of Nike Golf's CPR hybrids — Clubs for Prevention and Recovery — are coming to Salt Lake

City/Provo. Named Hybrids of the Year in 2004 by Golf Digest, the CPR clubs are arguably the easiest clubs to hit for distances equal to that of five irons up through — and even beyond — a two iron.

Nike Golf's CPR "medics" will demonstrate and allow golfers to test — free of charge — the full line of CPR woods, CPR iron-woods, and the new CPR mixed set. The medics will write CPR "prescriptions" to remedy any ill conditions experienced on the golf course. Participants will have the opportunity to win CPR T-shirts, hats, sleeves of new Nike Golf balls, and more. The entire line of Nike Golf equipment will be available for demo and purchase.

The Utah Valley demonstrations will be held:
