That is the ugliest wedge. Well, now that I think about it, my Ping Zing 2 PW wasn’t any prettier!

His irons have extra grooves to add spin. A few players on our staff do it. Basically they are just like Nike Grooves

He carries what he calls a 2w, but it’s really a Taylormade mini driver 11.5*...it wasn’t listed because it’s the only non Callaway club in his bag

I was gonna ask about the taylormade mini. I want one now. Not to say I could hit it, although it would remind me of my older clubs

When my wife asked if I wanted to leave Maine and move to where she grew up, I couldn't say no to Pinehurst, NC. I honestly don't spend much money on golf equipment, but I'm constantly reading reviews in case I ever get ready to buy

I swing left handed and have been the State of Maine Left Hander's champion since 1997, the last year they held the tournament. I'm currently a 7.1 handicap. Trying to get lower, but my gut gets in the way.

Yeah I saw that, I wonder why he wouldn’t have scheduled a Senior Major, Especially since it’s going to be held at the same location as next year’s PGA championship

Yeah, that's a good question, but I'm sure it probably has something to do with obligations, or something we had no idea of.

I'm sure I could it hit.  It's much larger than a 3wd.  I can see it being a very safe tee club.  That being said, I am amazed that he played a 47.75" driver in a major.  These guys are good.
