There's a specter haunting both David Feherty and the PGA Tour - it's Tiger Woods.

Short answer: you'll still be able to buy Pro V1s this year. Don't believe everything your buddies at the club tell you - there's a lot of misinformation about this lawsuit. Here are some of the facts.

We talk with Steve Pelisek and Stephanie Bezilla about Titleist's new 909 Drivers: the DComp, D2, and D3.

Surprisingly, we can print them all.

Think the Masters is dead? No argument here that the tournament has changed recently. But is the change really for the worse? I don't think so…or maybe I do.

Titleist takes a bold step in a new direction with the AP2. Adam Scott has switched. Should you?

Sometimes the hardest thing to see is what's before your eyes. He's no Tiger, but golf has seen few players in history as good as Phil Mickelson.

Tiger Woods and Lorena Ochoa battle for the top spot on this month's list.

Nine things to ponder and watch for at the 2008 Masters Tournament.

The LPGA Tour's stock continues to rise in 2008.

Time to drag out the "greatest ever" debate again. If there is even any debate anymore.

When and where will Tiger's win streak end?

ClubGlider inventor and Fore Inventors Only finalist Gary Sherrell gives us the scoop on how he came up with his idea on a napkin and dishes some dirt on being on a reality show.

Some day soon, there will be golf again. Until then I can dream.

One of golf's greatest writers hits a common nerve, and Thrash Talk talks back!

Proving that you can't judge a book by its cover, the Titleist AP1, AP2, ZB, and ZM are put to the (field) test.

Kelly Tilghman had golf on the front pages for a few days earlier this season. Check out one man's (hopefully) unique spin on the issue.

You like options for your putter? Then you are going to love the new Studio Select line from Scotty Cameron.

With just over two months left until the first day of spring, here are a few words on my personal off-season coping skills.

Titleist goes high tech with their AP line yet stays traditional with the Z.

Knock, knock. Who's there? 2008.

I don't think Mizuno is introducing a new line of ball mark repair tools, but perhaps I just missed the press release for them somewhere!

Set up the pins, because I'm knockin' 'em down this week.

The Sand Trap Caucuses are complete, all votes are in, and no hanging chads! Read on to see if we are indeed bellweather journalists.

Sometimes a plan comes together and sometimes it doesn't. The FedExCup actually worked (surprised?), at least for the most part.

An extension of the original and very popular Red X line, the new models lose the insert but gain a new finish, sight line, graphics, and, with the X5, a new neck.

The promise of the FedExCup may not exactly be delivered overnight, but that's no reason to throw in the towel on a good idea.

American golf's ruling body appears poised to begin sailing off the edge of its universe.

Why do we have the FedExCup points list, and how does it differ from the money list? How much is a FedExCup points list worth? Let's find out.

Stack and Tilt: a fad or a little bit closer to a universal golf truth? We'd like your feedback.

I also know that 90% of putts left short don't go in, but you probably already heard that one from Yogi Berra.

Missing from this week's analysis: the number of times the announcers make stupid comments. Gary McCord talks too fast for me to keep an accurate count.

What if the USGA threw an accuracy party, and nobody showed up?

Phil plays the "bang and blame" game, Tiger hacks his way around the easy second hole and makes perhaps the best five I've seen in a long time, and Angel Cabrera relies on the Big Break to hold the lead?

With the remaining three majors fast approaching, act now if you want to attend live, and get your pocket book ready.

The buzz says Phil Mickelson can take the top spot in the World Golf Rankings. Wishful thinking says Ernie Els can. Is it really an achievable goal?

It's prediction time again at The Sand Trap, so have a seat and enjoy the ride!

One Week, One Hour. You too can speed up the game of golf and make it more enjoyable for everyone.

What would it take for American brand golf to speed up just a little. Four hour rounds are more a fantasy than reality. Here are some suggestions.

If John Wayne were alive, and had a job as a course ranger, you can bet your behind that course wouldn't have a slow play problem.

We kick off a weeklong chorus at The Sand Trap to speed up the game with some equipment, gadgets, and tricks that'll help you break the four-hour barrier.

It appears the self-policing whistle blowers in the equipment industry are on the case as a competitor has turned in Callaway just as a one did to trip up Nike.

The last 20 years have witnessed a sea change in golf equipment performance. Today we have more and better choices than ever. But is all that a good thing?

I hope that Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts are superglued in their coffins. If not, they're probably spinning so fast they're likely to pop out in China before the final round concludes on Sunday.

Augusta National has become an abomination. Here's to hoping Billy Payne can begin to right Hootie's wrongs.

The "serious equipment for serious players" company gets serious about blogging. Welcome to the block, Titleist.

Nonconforming spring-like faces are the result of an "unauthorized manufacturing variance." Nike will replace any driver sold to date.

With help from several Sand Trap Forum members I've compiled my picks for most likely first-time major winners in 2007. See if you agree with my picks.

With many new drivers coming out now, Titleist adds to the mix with their 907D1 and 907D2 models. These are seriously good clubs for seriously good players.

Is the USGA's new proposal really about grooves? I think that's only part of the story.

In the spirit of the proposed equipment rule changes to grooves and adjustability, I offer up my own proposals for change. Hey, some may even make more sense.

As we surmised a couple days ago, the USGA is officially proposing a change to club grooves. If you're a "skilled" player and play in competitions, say goodbye to your irons and wedges in two years.

Ever since the Ping debacle in the 1980s, the USGA has kept a wary eye out for lawyers as they've tiptoed around equipment rules changes. Here they go again.

Here comes the next generation of top line golf balls from the industry leader.

The FedEx Cup is off to a solid start, but a few things have kept it from being even better.

If Tiger Woods played you, how many strokes would he be giving up to make a fair match? The answer may shock you.

With the 460cc limit on head volume now routine in drivers, the next frontier is MOI or "moment of inertia." It would seem TaylorMade now leads the race.

I waded deep into the bowels of the 2007 PGA Merchandise Show, and I've emerged with some gems (and notes).

There are several 2006 Nationwide Tour graduates making an early splash during the new season.

For those of us who find putting a mysterious, elusive art, here's a gizmo that can separate fact from feel to tell you exactly why you're missing all those putts.

The debate over whether Tiger Woods plays stronger field events than Phil Mickelson is about to come to an end. Well, maybe not, but perhaps this will provide some food for thought and show who plays better in stronger field.

The Cameron Detour putters created quite a stir with their revolutionary arced sightline. Now Scotty is applying the concept to traditionally shaped heads.

No other club category is as competitive as drivers with new head shapes all the rage. Cleveland's newest entries refine its unusual and original HiBore model.

Part two of the top storylines for 2007 discusses The Golf Channel, Lefty, and more.

Over the past year or so, I've covered a lot in The Numbers Game. Driving distance, the 40-30-20-10 rule, all were fun to research and write about. Next year, someone else will take the reins and still have plenty of numbers to look at.

It's never too early to talk about 2007, so that's what I'm going to do for the next couple weeks.

Annika Sorenstam wasn't necessarily ready to pass the torch, but Lorena Ochoa took it anyway.

Pictures and details have emerged on new drivers that beg the question "is it hip to be square?" But one maker is hedging its bet with a more conventional looking club as well.

The OGA's uniform ball experiment was not even a success in the eyes of the anti-ball crowd.
