  1. If there was any truth to what she said when she was interviewed after her round at the womens open, then she pretty much said she could possibly see herself playing in the open if she was going to come back at some point. So while I doubt she will return the the tour fulltime, I would almost bet on her returning for a handfull of tournaments in a few years time.
  2. I just dumped my 5 wood for a 4 hybrid. I really liked my 5 wood, but the hybrid hits it exactly the same distance, and is a much more versatile golf club. Switching out my long irons for hybrids was the best thing I could have done for my game. And its nice to have a full bag of clubs I can actually use now.
  3. She threw the ball into the bleachers.... thats a pretty cool keepsake for some lucky person.
  4. How about Annikas final shot in 18....in the cup! Does the last shot you possibly ever take in the biggest LPGA tournament get any better than that? What a way to finish. I was supprised she threw that ball away though, I would have thought that was a keeper.
  5. I also thought she looked great today. I hope she captures her first major tomorrow!
  6. Right now I am playing the NXT Extreme and I think its a pretty decent allround ball. When I have them my favorite is the PRO V1x as well. They are amazing. I also did well with the HX Tour56, and they can be had for fairly cheap right now with Callaways newer ball out. I have to agree with your thoughts on the Nike One. I didnt care for them at all either.
  7. Pro's on the PGA tour use that exact same driver and hit it just fine. I would have to agree with the people who think the problem has to do with the people swinging the club and not the club itself. With that said, if you have your mind made up that you dont like the driver anymore, then by all means get something else. There are plenty of nice drivers to choose from these days. Head to you local retailer and hit as many as you can until you find something your comfortable with.
  8. Usually I would hit my 4 hybrid. Its almost a perfect 200 yard club for me.
  9. Hybrids are to versatile a golf club for me not to have one in my bag. And the fact that ALOT of tour pros prefer them as a replacement for at least one of their long irons makes my decision to carry them very easy. If a professional golfer has trouble with long irons, there is no place for one in my bag.
  10. You might wanna check out Adams A3/A3OS, both recieved gold in their respective catagories in this years golf digest equipment review, and I think deservedly so. They are extremely easy to hit, and very forgiving.
  11. "Other" for me as well. I use the Adams A3 Boxer hybrids.
  12. Are you teeing it up high enough? I picked one up last year, and it has probably been the best club in my bag. I have found more fairways with it than any of my previous drivers, and I find it incredibly forgiving on mishits.
  13. Im not looking to match everything at the moment mostly because I dont think there is any 1 company that has makes every club better than the other. There are definitely companys who make certain clubs better than others though. So a mixed bag makes sense if you buy your gear from that perspective,
  14. I have heard of this kind of thing being done before, and im thinking the coke is going to eat at the finish of the wedge. Im sure its not going to stay very chromlike after its been sitting in coke for a while.
  15. I have used a 3 and 5 wood for years and I would never think about taking them out of my bag. They are my go to clubs when im hitting my driver poorly, and the loss of distance is not as penal as hitting a hybrid or long iron. And your right about Nicklaus clubs. His high end offerings suprise alot of people.
  16. Ive learned to leave my ego in the clubhouse before I head to the first tee. Im not a proffesional golfer, so I cant expect to play like one. Golf can be a cruel game, you have to be have the mental fortitude to deal with unsavoury results from shot to shot.
  17. I bought my Nicklaus CGX irons a few years back with no intention of buying them. I was there to hit cobras and slingshots. But I wasnt all that impressed with their feel after I hit them, so the salesman suggested I hit the Nicklaus irons. Well to make a short story shorter, I was amazed with their feel. And was sold. Took them home and they have treated me well since.
  18. Tiger definitely changed the way modern golf is played. He brought a new level of fitness and distance to the game. He is also the main reason why courses that were changed very little since their creation, were now being "Tiger Proofed" and basically reformatted. Its no question you can see the effects Tiger has had on golf. Every golfer these days worth his salt is in MUCH better physical condition than he was pre Tiger. And youve got to be reasonably long these days to have any chance of beating the bombers. I know it can be done, but not that often.
  19. 1. Tiger Woods 2. Mike Weir 3. Lornena Ochoa 4. Phil Mickelson I never get sick of watching Tiger Woods. Every time I watch him, he manages to amaze me with some of the shots he pulls off. Hes just incredible. Im always rooting for Mike cause hes a fellow Canadian. Ive seen some glimmers of greatness lately, and im sure hes gonna put 4 rounds together soon and come out ontop . Lorena is the Tiger Woods of the LPGA. While there is no comparison game wise obviously, she is dominating the tour like he does on the PGA. She has in my opinion one of the best, if not THE BEST looking swing in golf. She's an absolutely amazing golfer. Ive enjoyed watching Phil for years. He seems like one of the most down to earth guys on tour. My jaw drops when I see some of the shots he pulls off from around the green. You can never count him out of getting up and down no matter how horrid his lie might look. Hes got some of the best hands in golf in my opinion.
  20. Phil seems to me like one of the most down to earth guys on the tour. I really admire the fact that he sees being a father as being as important if not more than what hes expected to play on tour. He seems like a real "stand up" guy.
  21. Another vote for Christie Kerr, especially after what she USED to look like!! But out of the two listed , its a tough choice. I would have to say Paula though. She doesnt look so fake.
  22. As far as im concerned, every tournamet Tiger plays in, hes got a really good chance to win. But here are others I would like to see win or do well. 1. Mickelson 2. Rose 3. Johnson 4. Furyk 5. Weir ( Okay the odds are pretty horrid, but I can hope)
  23. I would bet on Rose doing well. Hes been in the hunt in a few tourney this year. Im hoping Mickelson has a decent showing as well.
  24. Golf Digest, they have some fantastic articles.
  25. LoL, that cracked me up I use the Peso's I came home with from my trip to Mexico.
