The
introduction of Titleist’s Pro V1 and other similar balls more than
a decade ago changed the game at the professional level. Driving
distance skyrocketed, rendering many classic golf courses helpless
in the wake of the super-charged balls.
Talking heads continue to fret about the impact of distance on the
game.
Meanwhile, most of us couldn’t hit a 300-yard drive with the
benefit of the roll an airport runway provides.
So what’s the average mid to high handicapper supposed to do when
prepping for his next Myrtle Beach golf trip? Paying $48 for a dozen balls
and losing three of them en route...

The spring
golf season is upon us, and the market is flooded with new
equipment to accompany you on your next Myrtle Beach golf
trip.
TaylorMade continues to be the hottest brand in the driver
business, led by the release of its RocketBallz (RBZ) driver.
Like the original R11 and the upgraded R11S, the RocketBallz driver
has a white crown and has attracted a surplus of attention. The RBZ
line includes a Tour model, something that benefits everyone
because the needs of a 2-handicap and a 20-handicap are
different.
The Tour model is a ¼-inch shorter, has a deeper face, and is more

The lawsuit, filed against the Dublin based club in 2006, is coming
to a conclusion and the 75-year-old Talbot, still proclaiming his
innocence, is ready for resolution.

When
it comes time to tee it up with your buddies on a Myrtle Beach golf
trip, everyone is looking for an advantage. Sometimes an edge comes
in the form of a space age driver or the confidence derived from a
new putter.An advantage can also be gained from something as simple as the type of tee one plays; at least that’s what the folks at Tornado Tee say.
The Tornado Tee is an adjustable height product that provides maximum energy transfer from the club head to the golf ball, which in turn creates more distance.
Specifically, the Tornado Tee produces less friction between the top of the tee,...Read More » »
