Happy Cinco De Mayo!

And a very happy birthday to my long time friend and bass player Johnny.

The $250K I just spent on Tiger Woods irons on ebay was for fakes?

Steve Mata, a former Titleist rep, had a set of Tiger Woods’ irons on ebay. They were allegedly the ones Woods used when he won all four majors in a row. Those irons were for sale at $250,000.

I was just about to click “buy it now” and PayPal Mr. Mata the $250k but then I heard that Tiger made a statement about the irons:

“He may have my set of irons, but they’re not from those tournaments. They’re in my garage.” ~Tiger Woods

Weszty Double-U Irons Review

This is my 2nd review of a Weszty golf product, made by my pal John Wesztergom at Weszty Golf. John and I met through The Golf Space and have become pals. We even hung out at the 2010 PGA Show. John founded Weszty Golf back in 2005 and has been tirelessly working on clubs and new designs since then.

Today’s review is of the Weszty Double-U irons

The Double-U Design

The Double-U name comes from the design of the head itself, a “double undercut” design. It looks like a blade club with an extra 1/4 blade on the bottom of the head, with a gap between the face and extra blade or what Weszty calls a “bar.” There’s some extra mass behind the the bottom of the face or what is termed as “muscle” in the industry. So the club is sort of a combination of a muscle back blade with an extra mini bar in the back. Wait a minute. It is has a “mini bar in the back.” Great for the 19th hole too!!!

TPC Sawgrass Yardage Book Deleted

Unfortunately I had to delete the TPC Sawgrass yardage book from the HOG TPC Sawgrass Photo Gallery. The company who made the yardage book requested that I do so. I couldn’t convince the company that being on HOG is bigger and better than anything imaginable in the golf world… Oh well. So you’ll have to find that information elsewhere. My apologies.

BUT, I do have a bunch of my own photographs of the TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course which I gave myself permission to publish. There are about 120 images in the gallery. Check them all out in the HOG TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course Image Gallery.
