Is the headline on that Golf article in the bulletin board saying: "USGA won't ban u-grooves" ? ??
Lynn - When you say: "There is the stuff we play...and the stuff they play", can you elaborate on how much different the Mizuno equipment BG is playing differs from the retail stuff?
Re U-grooves: You bet, Thom. You think these guys aren't paying attention?!
Re Their gear versus ours: Their's is fitted...and to the 'nth' degree. In the photos attached, Brian is trying three different shafts (courtesy of Jim McIntosh and United Sports Technologies) on two different heads (courtesy of Mizuno). This kind of stuff does not happen just every now and then, it is constant. You want something different? Just ask...and it's in your hands within the hour.
The oldtimers said, "Drive for show and putt for dough."
True then...true now.
And Brian is one of the best!
#1 You've all seen this chrome strip with its beveled edge. The object is to train yourself to start the putt on line. Brian hit about a half dozen putts...rapid fire...one right after the other. None fell off the edge. The attendant promoting the device said simply:
"No one's done that today."
And as you can see from the evening shadows, 'today' was almost done.
The man can putt.
Trust me.
The man can putt.
#2 Front View of Brian's putting stance.

#4 In the hole! Check it out in the right corner as the hole swallows the ball...again. Ho hum. Just another day at the office.

It's fun to be a PGA TOUR pro!
I guess they're bombed from all angles, it's actually a Titleist head in the last pic.
This stuff rocks!!! It's like being on Scotty Cameron's Slide Show section of his website but way better, because you know some of the guys!
If possible I vote keep more of it coming from every event....I really enjoyed going through the pics.
Thanks, Brandon. Will do!
I'll be at Innisbrook in Palm Harbor, Florida, next week for the PODS Championship and at Bay Hill in Orlando for the Arnold Palmer Invitational. I'll have camera in hand and will bring back more goodies from "inside the ropes!"

I'd like to request a picture of Brian's right hand grip with the hand opened up. I'm curious how high up in the hand the grip sits in order for him to get the shaft on the right forearm plane at set-up.
Thanks!
Matt

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)

Will do, Matt. With Brian's permission, I'll take several...both left and right hands.
