Welcome back Tiger Woods

If you haven't noticed, the buzz in the world of golf this past week was the return of Tiger Woods. Back after 16 months away from the game having undergone career threatening back surgery after listening to the doctors and physios and spending the correct time rehabbing.

It was great to see him back and great to see the 'fist pump' back as putts rolled in.

One thing that was noticed since he is out of contract with regards to his equipment was the mixed bag, including the TaylorMade M2 driver and M1 3 and 5 woods. 

I have seen a lot of players using the TaylorMade woods recently by their own choice. With Christmas approaching, maybe this is something to consider moving into 2017.

The weather has been better as of late but with it getting colder there is much more frost around. Frost and greens do not mix very well so there has been a number of times where we have had to move to winter greens. Please continue to check the course report each day.


 

What is right for me?

As I have watched some of the golf over the past weeks I have seen that there are several players that do not have a club contract. This is great for them as they can use whatever they want and what they think is best for them. For the club golfer, it is very easy to buy into one manufacturer. Even if one companies' irons are good for you, the woods and driver may not be.

With this in mind please note Tigers' "what's in the bag"
