Welcome to Masters week! It’s the best week of the year. I will be posting some random Masters pics each day this week, but not the usual photos of the 12th hole or the 13th green. Let’s do some more “odd” photos of Masters things not normally seen… Here’s your Monday edition:
What’s this dude doing?
Gear alert. Here’s a first look at the new Golf Pride CPX golf grips. These are the softest performance golf grips that Golf Pride has ever made.

On first impression I really like the feel. It was nice of them to send in 3 samples. I guess I’ll install those on my 3-club rig and test ’em out! 🙂
What? Don’t you have a 3-club rig?
Special day in the golf blogosphere! It’s the 18th blogiversary of the one and only Golf Blogger at GolfBlogger.com.
Golf Blogger, a.k.a. John Retzer, is one of THE original golf blogs. There is not a harder working, more diligent golf blogger on the planet.
Through the years John and I have become good friends. We have played many rounds of golf together and done many golf press trips at some amazing places around the world, from Michigan to Morocco.
Cheers John. Looking forward to seeing you on the Golf Blog World Tour again soon…
In for review from Bridgestone Golf is the new Tour B XS Tiger Woods Edition. I really dig the packaging and presentation in the box and sleeves. Each ball is marked with the word TIGER.
The Tour B XS is designed for golfers with a driver swing speed over 105 miles per hour. Probably right on the edge of my range at this point in my golf career, with age and a major shoulder surgery in play.
Distance
According to Bridgestone the ball delivers even “more distance.” I have yet to see a new golf ball come out that claims, “less distance.” 🙂

The cover of the ball features REACTiViQ technology; a smart cover that reacts to the force of impact. The ball stays in contact with the club longer, allowing the player to impart more control in the short game and work the ball with the irons and metal-woods.
Last weekend I was thrilled to make the road trip from northern Utah to Vegas to see my Utah Utes WIN the Pac-12 football championship, 38-10 over #10 Oregon. Since I always bring multiple drones with me when I travel, I made a stop by Coral Canyon to take a break from driving and catch a few drone photos.
Coral Canyon is a very fun course; desert target style with wide open landing areas.
There are many fun risk-reward scenarios and fun launching pads from the tops of dunes to fairways far below the tee box.
