Big Break III Poll: Pam takes the lead
One and a half days to go and Pam has taken a lead with 58% of the vote. If you haven’t voted on your pick for the Big Break III finale, the poll is in the lower left column.
Vijay wins Houston Open in playoff with Daly
Chalk up a 2nd consecutive Houston Open for Vijay Singh. This is his first successful title defense on the PGA Tour believe it or not. This win didn’t come easy as he had to weather a Nick Faldo like birdie-less string where no putts seemed to fall. He also had to fend of big John Daly my gambling buddy (see this post).
Daly carded a great 67 to land himself in a playoff with Singh which included a clutch putt on 18. (see picture) On the playoff hole JD hit a decent 3 wood but turned it over a little too much. It hit the hard and fast fairway and bounced into the water hazard on the left. All Singh had to do was par the first playoff hole to win, which he did.
It is fun to see Daly in the mix. He’s such a freak. He isn’t the prototypical PGA Tour player of today who works out in the gym every morning or spouts off the same old politically correct answers to the press’ predictable questions. He’s a recovering alcoholic who chain smokes, he’s overweight and he’s got more natural talent than 98% of the PGA Tour. He can shot a 65 just as easily as he can shoot a 90. This is what interests us fans.
Southern Utah: Green Spring Golf Course
If you’ve never been to southern Utah, you are missing out on some of the most beautiful terrain in the world: Red Rock Country. In Red Rock Country there are stunning red rock plateaus, canyons and mountains. An old wives tale says the reason the rocks are red is because they are burned by the desert sun. If you go there in the summer, you too will turn red.
In the heart of this beautiful terrain in Washington County (5 minutes north of St. George, Utah) is Green Spring Golf Course. In 1991 Golf Digest rated Green Spring one of the top five new courses in the country.
Cleveland Announces The CG4 Irons
Cleveland Golf has announced their new iron series, the CG4.
This is Cleveland’s first jump into the “game improvement” iron market using a proprietary metal called CMM. CMM is 10% less dense and 15% softer than the typical metal used in forged clubs. With 3x more absorption than steel the player percieves the club to have a softer feel.
The sole of the club has 3 grinds to allow the club to contact the ground properly at address and at impact.
Designed for “players of all abilities” the CG4 is a cavity back with progressive offset throughout the set.
Retail price for the CG4 irons will be $864 for steel, $1000 for graphite.
The first shipment is scheduled for 6/1/05.
Cleveland Golf doesn’t have anything on this club on their web site yet, but I’m sure they will very soon.
