In for review here at Hooked On Golf Blog are some neat looking golf head covers from a company called Rose & Fire. Here’s the first look at the camo putter cover:
More photos of this cover and other Rose & Fire head covers are in the HOG Rose & Fire image gallery.
When the snow melts I’ll be putting this cover to the test and posting my review shortly after. As much as I dig this cover, I already plan to give it to a very good golf buddy of mine whose bag is all camo. He’s a wounded veteran of the Iraq war. I think he’ll really dig it.
Don’t ever say I don’t take care of the HOG patrons! (Just like the Masters, readers here are “patrons,” not readers). Here’s a chance to get your hands on a free golf club from TaylorMade. As part of their launch of the “SpeedBlade” line, they’re giving out, a.k.a. seeding 20,000 6-irons for people to try out. Obviously they are expecting the golfers who use those 6-irons to be blown away by the club and buy a whole set, and will post about their great experience on their social networks.
Soon I’ll be doing a SpeedBlade fitting myself, getting tested in a TaylorMade Performance Lab and fitted for an optimal set of SpeedBlades. Then I’ll be posting a SpeedBlade review after that. Stay tuned and have fun with your new 6-iron.

Here’s the link: TOO LATE!
The PGA Tour’s Waste Management Phoenix Open is this week. This is probably the craziest PGA Tour event, though they’ve toned it down a bit this year by disallowing the “caddie races.” Boo.
In the water at the tournament is a large Waste Management logo. This floating logo was constructed out of 140,000 used golf balls. Below is a time lapse video of the construction. Very cool.
This has to be the first time I value the box more than I value the golf balls inside the box! How cool is this?
Inside are four individual sleeves of R&D Prototype B330 model Bridgestone Golf balls: B330, B330-S, B330-RX, B330-RXS. That’s awesome.
One problem though is that Bridgestone must not know my home course. There are so many hazards I could lose a sleeve on the first hole or two.
Need more… 🙂
