I complain quite a bit about the winter here. But in the spring when you have images like this, you tend to forget about how cold it was a couple of months earlier.

This is the 7th hole at Hidden Valley Country Club’s “Lakes” nine. HVCC is my favorite course in Northern Utah.
Normally I like to get more holes under my belt with a golf ball before I review it. But by the first round I’ll almost always have reached my primary conclusions anyway. I’m speeding up the review process on the Nike 20XI-X golf ball because I can, and I want to beat everyone else to the scoop.
20XI-X Overview
The 20XI-X is one of two new balls Nike is releasing soon. The 20XI-X or what I call the “X” version, is the longer, distance ball. The 20XI-S (“S” version) is the spin/control version.

Scotland’s Caddies DVD – Click to expand
You’ll hear more and more about this, but I’m going to St. Andrews in July! The timing could hardly be more appropriate that I had a cool DVD submitted for my review called Scotland’s Caddies.
A Film Celebrating Caddies and the Home of Golf
Scotland’s Caddies is film by Ron Colby. In the movie Ron treks around Scotland golf courses and sticks a camera into the mugs of the world’s coolest caddies.
There are some gems in this film, great quotes, great footage, great stories and of course many beautiful clips from some of the best courses in the world.

Masters Icons (but not Jack, Arnie or Seve)
If you like cool shoes, next week will be a good week for you. Starting at 8:00am ET on Monday of Masters week, my good friends and HOG Space Fantasy Golf sponsors at FootJoy will be offering 150 pair of limited edition Augusta-inspired FJ Icons.

FJ Icons are awesome. I have so many pairs I lost count. It is like Christmas every time I go golfing, choosing which pair to wear.
There will be 150 of these pairs available with an exclusive Masters green croc print, the same one produced for the players at the tournament.
Giveaways Too
FootJoy will also be giving away a pair of these per day during the Masters, for a total of four. Stop by the FootJoy web site for that, but you’ll have to beat me to get ’em.
Ryo Ishikawa
I’m very impressed and have gained quite a bit of respect for Ryo Ishikawa after hearing that he’ll be donating ALL of his earnings this year on the Japan and PGA Tour’s to Japan for help recovering from the earthquake.
Based on his earnings and also his extra donations for birdies, that donation will likely be over $2 million. Bravo. Where’s the “like” button?
