One of my usual stops at the PGA Merchandise Show is Bridgestone Golf. In this video below myself and the members of the Battle of the Golf Blogs talk about the “e” seriese golf balls with Corey from Bridgestone. There have been some small changes to some of the dimples, tweaking them for better performance. Check it out:

2013 PGA Merchandise Show Video: Tattoo Golf

Golf. Skulls. ‘Nuff said. Tattoo Golf is one of the best. Over the years I’ve reviewed a ton of Tattoo Golf gear and loved every item. Not only does their golf gear have skulls on it, the quality and style is brilliant. My pals at TG have become good friends over the years and I do what I can to support them, knowing what it is like to be an entrepreneur in a tough, tough industry.

This year I visited Tattoo Golf as usual for a video interview at the PGA Merchandise Show. The new polos look killer. Very stylish and classy, but still have skulls. Well played…

Welcome back home self. I had to brave flight delays and the airline trying to ram the plane into the snow covered parking stall late Sunday. It is really cold here in Salt Lake. Tough to go from 80 and sunny in Orlando to two feet of snow…

So here’s my first post-PGA Merchandise Show golf blog feature, shots of the new TaylorMade r1 driver. I didn’t hit the r1 at the show because honestly, I don’t wait three hours in line to hit a golf club into a net!

Lets take a quick look at a few shots of the r1. If you want to see enlarged versions, click the photos to go to the HOG image gallery, then click the image there to see the largest and highest quality version.
