How do you like the Hex series in the wind. Everyone says the hex pattern is better...

I would say that hitting in the CENTER of the driver face is more important than swinging harder and missing the center. I find if I RELAX and don't try to kill it, I strike the ball much more solid.

I was going to mention the same thing. I wonder if that ball is simply a Nike One Black...

Southern Utah, or perhaps Arizona. I like the desert.

Ernie Els, Refief Goosen, Freddy

Anybody see the caddie up in the tree today? He was up there for a while looking for Goosen's ball. Finally after a long time he knocked a ball out. Goosen laughed and it wasn't his ball. Then STRANGELY Goosen conceeded the hole!

That's right it was Jim Gray. Now I'm not going to go crazy trying to remember.

I have a brass or metal brush & wet towel. I always make sure my clubs are clean before I hit.

I can't remember the name of the guy who interviews the players after they finish but he asked Adam Scott the stupidest question the other day. He said "You lost to Tiger in extra holes in this even a couple of years ago. Is that the best thing to ever happen to you?" Adam Scott looked at him like he was some kind of idiot and said "no I don't think so." I do like McCord though.

I like Azinger as an announcer. He calls it like he sees it and he doesn't hold back.

I suppose those higher numbered woods are being replaced by the hybrids these days.... I have a hogan hybrid that is pretty awesome.

I've played Painted Desert, Wolf Creek (mesquite), Las Vegas Golf Club & Rio Secco (several times). Painted Desert was cool. It was "resorty" if that is a word. It was a nice layout. Las Vegas Golf Club is a muny. We played there and suddenly a great big rain storm came up. I mean BIG rains. Those a'holes wouldn't give us a rain check there. So I don't like them. Rio Secco (home of Butch Harmon) is quite cool. A buddy of mine is (was perhaps now) a high roller at the Rio and we got several FREE rounds of golf there! Rio Secco is cool, but around 150-200 bucks. Wolf Creek (in mesquite) nevada is amazing. It was made in the red rock desert and some of the holes are so extreme they had to fly in the tractors with helicopters. Some of the tee boxes have railings so you don't fall off a cliff and kill yourself. It is very scenic. It is also $200. The views are awesome but from a golf purist's standpoing it is a little like a circus. I just blogged a photo from there. If you are going to Mesquite you can play at the Casa Blanca which should be under $100. That is a tough track. The "Oasis" is an Arnold Palmer track very close to Wolf Creek. It is very nice. But if you want TRUE value, continue up I15 to another 30 minutes to St. George Utah. Look at the Courses: Sunbrook (27 holes), Greenspring, Coral Canyon, Entrada, Sky Mountain. Most are 40-80 bucks and every bit as cool as many $250 courses in vegas. I've got a few new shots from St. George in my blog: http://hookedongolf.blogspot.com . Have fun!

You do get more spin when you are going straight into the wind. BlackMax. So a year or two ago the buzz name for balls had to have a V or an X in it. Now "black" is the buzzword. I'll have to try that ball. Sounds cool. I really hate the X though as it feels like a top flite to me. I prefer the regular V1. I do lose 10-30 yards of the driver compared to a callaway black but I always seem to shoot my best rounds with the V1. The Cally black is awesome off the driver. Blows away a V1. Has enough spin but not too much. Sometimes I spin back a V1 a little too much.

I wasn't actually talking about the angle of descent. I was talking more about the club arc and positions which are very similar.

Phil's swing is as close to Bobby Jones' swing as any current golfer.

Got it! Thanks.

I put my sites in my signature but I can't figure out why they don't show up. Maybe this message will have them. My gear: Driver: Titleist 983K, YS6 shaft 3W: Adams Ovation Hybrid: Hogan 2 Irons: Hogan Apex Edge Pro Gap & SW: Hogan traditional Lob: Hogan Carnoustie Putter: Ping Zing Ball: ProV1, Callaway Black or Red, Nike One Black (depending on conditions)

Nice place. I love to see more golf related sites that aren't the big "corporate" types. I apparently have much in common with the proprietors of this site. I'm a golf freak and computer freak. So in the snowy winter here in my home town I build a golf site for fun, along with a blog. Greetings to all and good luck to the hosts of this site.
