Lost in last weeks headlines involving Charley Hoffman, Bryson's injury and rumored move to the World Tour, and the "beer shower" at #16, was the news that golfs version of Cal Ripken Jr. set a milestone of 600 starts.  Even more impressive is that he's made 461 cuts!! (I see you FTx guys heading for the players pool ).  So while Mark Brooks still owns the most ever tour starts record (803), he only batted 0.535.  How far towards eclipsing the 803 starts CH3 can go remains to be seen but his health and level of play suggests he may very well become golfs ultimate ironman.

Would you rather have a career like his or one with a shorter span but more victories?

[When do YOU upgrade?]

I'm looking around for a new driver and it got me thinking what type of distance gain do you personally have to have to justify the purchase?

Thanks!
