Maybe this has been explained before but: What is the difference between the three (four?) different Vokey Wedge types. That is the Black Nickel, Oil Can, Spin Milled CC and Spin Milled Tour Chrome? Thanks.

I really like the Fowler pick and he does have 2 Walker Cups (with good results) under his belt so he does have some understanding of the way these matches will be played. This kid is, IMHO, the real deal.

I have been a baseball fan all my life (50 years) and I have never heard the term "AAAA player." You really do learn something new every day and usually from an unexpected source. Thanks

Hi all, I just bought Bobby Jones Golf hybrid on a whim. Gets good reviews and I was not happy (anymore) with my Callaway X Hybrids. I bought the Classic 4h w/ regular flex. Hopefully it will swing a little easier than my steel shafted hybrids and the store also gave me a decent amount on trade-in for my old hybrids. Anyway, for anyone who carries or has used he BJG hybrids, what are your thoughts? Thanks Paul

Is golf the only "professional" sport that uses amateur officials at its most important events?

I do not know how many he will win BUT I do expect he will ditch the red shirt/black pants on Sunday's and go with some other color combo. Truth be told that red/black look is growing old. Tiger needs to switch it all up. New coach, new girl, new caddy, and a new look.

In Hogan's day, caddy's were supposed to "Show Up, Keep Up and Shut Up." or so I have read. I think if any caddy ever offered Mr. Hogan any advise he would have found a golf shoe up his a$$ so far he would have tasted cleats. Nicklaus had the same caddy for years, Angelo Argea and I remember Johnny Miller's caddy (can't recall his name) being one of the first who was more of a partner on course than others. I think the days of the caddy being well known or even known at all is pretty recent. But the media attention brought to the sport by Tiger combined with the 24x7 sports and golf media has made some of these pro loopers as well known as some athletes.

This "kind of thing" is talking about Tiger's business publicly.

Based on his recent interview where he says his job is safe, it is now almost certain he and Tiger will part ways. Just MHO but this kind of thing is the kiss of death (especially with Tiger). I am not a "Stevie" fan or really even a Tiger fan but I do hope Tiger gets his act together, with or without William on the bag.

If the World's Most Interesting Man (aka the Dos Equis guy)was playing that shot, the bunker would have called a penalty on itself.

Here is the way I think the sponsor thing will play out - assuming no more devastating news. Sponsors with inventory - such as Nike, Tag, will stick with Tiger, at least until all excess inventory is sold out. Sponsors without inventory - such as Accenture, ATT, will drop him. Sponsors such as Gillette and Gatorade have products associated with him but it is not specifically TW branded like Nike and Tag, will sit on the fence for a while (this is already happening.) Of course, a company like Nike will stick by him forever. They have already proven they have no qualms about their athletes indiscretions.

This is very cool and I guess, being a high handicapper, I never really thought of it so systematically. So for each wedge you will have 6 yardages and then if you experiment with a different position in your stance you may double that. Take that methodology up through the irons and, given your handicap is near scratch, you have your own yardage book for each of your clubs. Like I said, very cool. Paul

Who will Tiger have to fire from his business entourage? Elin may demand some: IMG - possibly if Elin thinks they were enablers PR Firm - a given - I mean they pretty much suck don't they? Lawyer - No way, he may be a serial adulterer but he is not that stupid. Best Friend as head of his design company - Yeah, given that he took whatshername all the way to Austrlia for him. Stevie Williams - not likely but ceratainly a possibility if Elin has it in for him now. Others? You never know but this could get more interesting in a multitude of ways. Anway, this guy has lost all of the mysterious air about him. He is a good, no great, perhaps greatest golfer of all time - and nothing more. If you like or are a fan of his golfing then nothing in that respect should change. But if you bought into the whole Tiger Woods persona, I think things are very different now.

Tiger is good at golf - and nothing else.

I also think it is time he retired his putter. The head is all dinged up and he has tape on the bottom. It has served him well but he tweaks all his other clubs, why not the flatstick?

I am having some difficulty getting my fairway woods and my hybrid in the air. I am currently using the stock Callaway shafts on my 3X and 5X woods and 4X hybrid. Looking to try one of the with a graphite shaft. Any recommendations on which ones to look at? Thanks in advance. Paul

When a golf club set consisted of a 1,3,4 wood (all made of wood) a set of 2-SW irons, all from the same mfgr and a putter from either Acushnet (Bullseye) or Ping (Anser). It does not seem that long ago but maybe I was just dreaming this.... Paul

Does anyone know the diff between the 588 Diadec and the 588 Chrome line of wedges? I am looking to purchase a 588 RGS Chrome 53 degree. My local Golfsmith had a Diadec but not the Chrome in 53 degree and the salesperson did not really know what the differences are. Thanks in advance. Paul

Imagine what would happen to their putter sales if Tiger switched to a Nike. Not saying it will happen, but just imagine if it did.

I do not know Tiger personally so how can I like or dislike him. He has one of the least contreversial personas of any major public figure (superstar) today. But to figure out whether I like him or not is an impossible question. Honestly, trying to judge someone based on their media interviews is pointless. Some of the biggest a-holes in sports are great with the media and conversely, some of the nicest guys are lousy interviews. It is just not a fair question - IMHO - and not a good way to judge him. Paul

20 Majors Yes - IF he stays healthy. The amount of abuse his body takes (particularly his back and knees) will determine this. I think if he comes back strong this year - winning or at least contending in the 4 majors he will get there. If he breaks down or is - for some reason - not the same Tiger it will be a wait and see. At some point he will have reached his Zenith and then comes the inevitable fall from the top. I for one, hope we are still a few years away from that and that he will equal and even surpass his past greatness -but one never knows, do one?

I doubt "most" would take the Open Championship over the US Open. This would all depend on where you were from. Most US pros would likely take the US Open. At least IMHO.

The next no. 1 after who? After Kim, after McIlroy, after . Please, unless Tiger breaks down physically and UNTIL one of these guys wins a half dozen majors no one is taking Tiger's place. Do any of you guys remember when Jack was in his prime or just past it and every hotshot was the "next" Jack? Watson and Miller come to mind. Both good (great?) players but not in Jack's class. It took a long time to convince many that Tiger is the best (and some may never be convinced) and no one is stepping into those big Nike Golf shoes anytime soon. Give these guys some time and we'll see. Maybe Kim or Lee are the real deal but they all have a loooonnnnnng way to go. One or three wins does not cut it. Now here's to hoping that these guys can and do give Mr. Woods a run for his money - or however they measure golfers these days. Paul

Lots I would imagine.
