Hope it works for him. The past is littered with golfers who chased the money and ended up with clubs or a ball they didn't like...

Didn't he just have his best year with Callaway? Srixon is part of Cleveland golf right? Didn't even know Srixon made clubs.

I can't imagine srixon paying him more than callaway, I kind of perceived srixon as a b level company compared to callaway. They do make a great product, though.

Callaway is the most strict when it comes to the # of clubs to be carried by staff pros.  I could be mistaken but I believe it is 12 and the ball.  Where some of the others, Like Taylor Made, is 3.  Maybe he takes this deal to branch out and use some equipment he preferred, but coul not contractually use.

WOW...I guess this really could be bitter sweet for Callaway depending on the year he has in 2011.

Taylormade may be a bit looser with their rules, but one pro I know is required to bag 10 TM clubs - he has gotten away with only having 9 since one of his clubs is made by a company that is no longer in business.

It depends on the type of contract they sign.

I'm sure the 3 clubs is mostly for the wood game which is their cup of tee.

Waiting out the 2 feet of snow that just dropped on the course....

So according to the report I read he will be wearing there hat and glove and playing there ball and have a choice of clubs and Cleveland wedges. Not too bad. I guess there will be a Srixon painters cap out real soon.

You lost one and add another to replace him.  It is true that Furyk is switching from Srixon to TaylorMade...but only the driver and ball.

      Day 24: 5/15/25 Chipping on indoor carpet and some weight shift work.

      Day 44 - Hit some wedges with the intention of working on my 100-yard shot, but instead worked the face a bit. Intentionally trying to hit the toe, heel, and center of the face. I definitely have a heel bias, but focusing on turning my body helped to get things in the center.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      I think for this, I need to work on my weight transfer. I can feel my self looking up early and falling back slightly. So, I am hitting them a bit fat right now. I need to stay on my left side better or get to my left side better. Kind of like old pattern stuff.  Yep, I was a bit worried about the driver since we didn't get to it. First drive was a push draw because I moved the ball back a bit because there is no range to warm up and I wanted to make sure contact was good. I hit it great, just pushed it slightly. I was like, OK, this will work. I moved the ball back to the normal position and the next 4 out of 5 holes I used a driver was just the ball at most 10 yards off my target line. 😃

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Didn’t score the best, but probably the best I’ve done implementing the swing feels on the course.  Preshot routine - make one practice swing hands down only hitting  the ground like 3 ft behind the ball. Make a 2nd practice swing where I add a bit of turn back in.  Set up and make a swing with those feels. Driver - A stripe show. Just laser beams at my target. Like under 10 yards of curve. Irons - pretty solid. Contact was flush. Just slight pull draws. Just need a bit of face control. It’s close. I had an 8 iron that left the club, didn’t leave the flagstick. The ball probably moved 1 yard in the air. I came up like 4 yards short.  Distance wedges - Needs work.  Short Game - needs work from different lies. Putting - Made almost everything inside of 10 ft.  Going forwards, still going to work on the swing. Backswing length and arms down stuff. I need to work on my distance wedges a lot.
