7445 – 10 = 7435

I played Edgewood Tahoe a few weeks ago and was entertained to see that the yardage from the tips was the magical 7445. Why magical? 7445 is the yardage of Augusta National and The Masters Tournament.

It was announced today that minor yardage changes at Augusta have shaved off 10 yards from the scorecard, mainly from the first tee. This is in an effort to bring back some “Sunday charges” to the final round of The Masters.  Ok sure.  I doubt 10 yards is going to do that.


Boggy Golf Gloves

I’m not normally a glove wearer, but with gloves from four manufacturers in my queue right now I’ve been dawning them.  First on my list was to test out the Boggy Golf gloves, since they’re currently a site sponsor (thanks!).

I’ve now had the opportunity to play a few rounds with some Boggy Golf gloves.  I’ve been very happy with the performance, durability and feel.

Design & Technology

The two primary design features of the Boggy gloves are their breathability and their grip.  I can attest that my glove hand has stayed perfectly dry.  No soggy gloves for me.  In fact, is there anything worse than taking off a soggy glove?  Yes there is: putting a soggy glove on.

My grip is very solid and secure with the Boggy glove.  My ball striking and driving distance have definitely benefitted.

Looks & Feel

I realize that since the glove in the images in this post are camoflauged you probably can’t see them.  That being said, I can tell you the Boggy Golf gloves look cool.  The designs are unique and fun.

The fabric of the glove is very smooth and comfortable, and it stretches just right when I bend my wrist and fingers.  Not too much resistance.

Conclusion

Boggy Golf gloves look and feel great, and they perform well.  I just might be a “glove-less to gloved” convert after wearing my Boggy Gloves for a few rounds!

No golf today.  Woke up to a blanket of that cold evil white stuff today.  There were about four inches on the ground. It isn’t done either.  It is coming down hard.

Time to schedule trips south to visit friends in warm places…

Excellent news from Madrid. Seve Ballesteros’ condition has improved since his 3rd brain tumor surgery. Seve is now able to breathe on his own. He is conscious and has been able to speak to his relatives.

This is good. Keep it up Seve. We’re all pulling for you man.
