2010 is here, and we at The Sand Trap are geared up for an exciting new year. I’m sure we’ve all got our own set of goals for improvement in 2010, but if you haven’t taken note of them by now, you probably should think about recording them somewhere so you can do some self-evaluation as the year goes on.
As far as equipment goes, January and February always brings a bit of excitement, as most manufacturers release their new stuff. It’s also when Golf Digest releases their annual Hot List, and when the larger of the two PGA Merchandise Shows takes place. What does this mean for you, the golfer? What should you have in the bag that you already don’t? Read on to find out!
Hello golf fans and welcome again to Hittin’ the Links. Anyone else besides me wish they were in Hawaii right now? Wow, what great weather they had for the Sony Open this week. Not that I am complaining – I still got to play twice this weekend.
Mizuno irons have long adorned the bags of many good players around the world. A large percentage of the near-scratch guys at my club are playing them and have consistently raved about them. In fact one of them just replaced an old set of MP-32s with a new set of MP-67s, never considering another brand. When I had the opportunity to review a set of Mizunos, I jumped at the chance.
With crazy amounts of game and age on their side. These guys are going to make a big impact on tour in 2010. These my picks for the top five pros under 25. Lets compare our lists and see how they match up.
It’s a touch of déjà vu. Tiger is MIA, and his return is the biggest story of the season. Geoff Ogilvy is off to a hot start with his season-opening win in Hawaii, and John Daly is about to steal the stage.
Anyone who watches PGA Tour golf on TV enough has seen a launch monitor in action, often describing the launch statistics of a player on a long par five or a tricky par three. Almost anyone who has been fitted with a driver or a new set of irons in the past few years has used a launch monitor to check their statistics before plunking down several hundred dollars.
Like a sports car (or any vehicle for that matter, I guess) evolves as model years pass, so has Titleist’s Advanced Performance irons. The newer models might look pretty similar at first glance, and in some ways, they are, although there are loads of significant updates that shouldn’t be overlooked. As you know, more weight here, less offset there, and some added horsepower under the hood can make a world of difference.
