There’s a new golf training aid out there to help you hit your driver on the sweet spot called the Pure Shot Driver. It works sort of like the Tour Striker, with a small sweet spot and surrounding area which deflects shots drastically.
This baby really flies. Really… Click to zoom and you’ll see what I mean. I’ll be testing this baby soon, so stay tuned.
Here’s a sneak peek at the Nike Method Drone putter which is coming out on November 1st.

In an odd story yesterday, a college golf tournament in Fort Worth Texas was called off because of a bee attack. Apparently a tree limb with a bee hive in it fell on the 18th green and released 70,000 mad bees which stung several people before they called off the tournament and shut the course down.
Bee Jokes
Possibly more entertaining than the bee attack itself, are the headlines and jokes writers and bloggers are posting.
“Latest Buzz – College Tourney Called Due To Bee Attack”
“Un-Bee-lievable end to US college event”
“Golf’s new version of a stinger”
“Golf tourney breaks out in hive”
“Beekeeper J.Bee Holmes called in to contain the swarm”
Sea Pines has announced that their enhancements to Harbour Town Golf Links by Pete Dye have been completed.
The layout was lengthened by 150 yards, a handful of trees were removed to improve sight lines and a select number of bunkers were reshaped or extended to bring hazards back into play. Both TOUR players and resort guests will savor the challenge as the iconic 18 continues to evolve as the epitome of strategic design.
