Lady golfers are everywhere walking side-by-side with the crowd. It’s an exciting week all leading up to the Sunday crescendo. With a total purse of $1.2 million and a beautiful par-71, 6,161-yard country club course, it’s no wonder the tour pros come back year-after-year.
It doesn’t take a big name to make a big driver that is big on performance. Case in point: Nickent Golf’s new 3DX Driver. As far as the USGA and R&A are concerned, this is the largest conforming driver you’ll ever play. Is the performance in proportion to the size?
