Nickent Hybrids
This review is going to have a ton of pictures. Why?
Because the Nickent 3DX Ironwoods are pure beauty.

Nickent’s hybrids finished the 2005 season as the #3 hybrid in use on the PGA Tour. So they’re not #1. Fine. But Nickent does not pay any PGA players to play their gear. This means that the players using Nickent gear are using it because they want to, not because they’re obligated to.

Ben Hogan Apex FTX Forged Transition Iron Set - Steel Shaft

Ben Hogan Apex FTX Forged Transition Iron Set – Steel Shaft

Designed to appeal to the most demanding players and shot makers. The club-head designs within this forged set transition from club to club, making each individual club a "Precision designed, shot making instrument." The design changes from club to club are smooth and easy, making this forged set of irons truly unique in today’s premium golf club market, and one that will appeal to any golfer who wants to improve their overall iron game.



OK, I’m a sucker for Ben Hogan irons… I was going to put the Ping G5 Driver here for the 12th day but the Hogans won the coin flip.


Added a few more pictures…

By the way, I added a few more pictures to the HOG Photo Gallery…. 256 to be exact. That brings the total to 838, mostly golf course pictures.

Big Break IV Final Matchup Set

BBIVfinalThe Big Break IV final match up is set. It was 9 holes of ugly matchplay. Guy defeated Thomas and Paul had an easy victory over TJ as he had a nuclear meltdown.

Arguably the two driest personalities of the group are in the final.

I’m going to predict that Paul will win. Guy is probably the best “player” of the group, but Paul is the most solid mentally.

I hope they do 18 holes of match play and show the whole damn match. Last year they skipped a ton of the play. Even though players tie in match play on a hole, it is still intense.


Tiger and others skipping the 2006 Mercedes

Tiger is going to skip the season-opening Mercedes in Hawaii. Phil Mickelson hasn’t played at Kapalua since 2001. Retief Goosen and Padraig Harrington are also skipping it this year. Guess they don’t want to waste their time traveling to Hawaii to get beaten by Stewart Appleby who seems to shine in that tournament for some reason.

Come on Tiger, get with the program

Now call me a cynic if you want but I’m going to have to rant a bit here. The PGA Tour official season ended long ago (relatively). Players like Tiger and Phil have always talked about the season being too long and how they need rest, bla bla bla. Then why the freak is Tiger globe trotting all over the word playing more silly season events in a one month span than he plays in the same span on the regular tour? If the PGA Tour is so “tiring” why not “rest” instead of playing The Skins Game and all these other events so he can be “rested” by the time the 2006 season starts?

Watching Tiger in the Target tournament this week wasn’t exactly inspiring. You could tell he was not focusing and he was ready to shut it down for the year. Hey man, he’s getting old you know. His 30th birthday is this month. (congrats to Luke Donald by the way)
