TaylorMade Ghost White Head Driver Rumoured

There are quite a few new pieces of kit coming through towards the end of this year. Rumour on Tour is that Taylor Made is bringing out a White headed driver to match the ghost putter they have out. I am not sure how well this will be received and I seem to remember a white headed driver back in the early 90's made of the bullet-proof material, Kevlar. It bombed, quite literally. There are also two new irons to join the Taylor Made fold with a new forged head design. This comes as a welcome relief as they have not had a forged iron for the club golfer for over two seasons. So, with new Titleist woods, new Mizuno irons and the new Taylor Made product all coming out at the end of the season it is set to be a busy time on the Tour Trucks getting all these new clubs into play.

GMac to Return On Ski Slope

Where the hell has GMac gone?  Rumours were abounding that he had embarked on a “Caveman Diet” and a Rocky IV training regime in preparation for the Ryder Cup.

Now we can reveal Graeme  is planning to fine-tune his game for The Ryder Cup by playing in the Austrian Golf Open from September 16 – 19,  the penultimate  European Tour event before Colin Montgomerie’s European Team takes on the USA.

You know the Austrian Open, its the one where Markus Brier with his 20 logo’s does his thing on his home course.  bad news this year for Markus, the event has moved from Fontana to the Diamond Course.

Graeme: “I have a good record in Austria, having finished ninth in 2007 and eighth in 2008, both at Fontana Golf Club.  In 2008, which was also a Ryder Cup year, I had a great chance to win, or at least get a top three in Austria which would have given me valuable Ryder Cup points.  Unfortunately I played aggressively on the last, found water, and slumped to eighth.  Thankfully a month later I had some great results, including a win at The Barclays  Scottish Open, which secured my place on Sir Nick Faldo's team.”

Dredge Blows Up At Start For A Change

Welsh golfer may be more familiar for his final round stumbles, but nobody expected it to happen at Crans Sur Sierre. And especially not at the start.  Dredge is normally in the polka dot jersey in Switzerland having had a win, a second and a third at the venue.  However he started today with the following card which included a triple whammy on the fourth. Ouch.

Angry Earl Threatens Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods may well have Earl in his ear tomorrow, Hurricane Earl that is.

Tee times for Friday morning's first round of the Deutsche Bank Championship have been moved up 40 minutes and the course superintendant has assembled a group of volunteers to clear debris from TPC Boston if necessary.

Hurricane Earl, which is currently packing winds of 125 mph, is headed up the East Coast of the US and is set to impact the Massachusetts coast sometime on Friday.  No one is sure when -- or how severe it will be.

X24 Hot Irons Cause Actual Fire

We’ve all seen that momentary spark the club makes when it hits the mat on the driving range but last weekend a golfer's really did “burn it up” when his swing in the rough at the Shady Canyon Golf Course in Irvine, Calif., struck a rock and caused a spark, which set off a blaze that eventually covered 25 acres, according to the Steven Buck, General Manager of Shady Canyon Golf Course.  150 Orange County firefighters were drafted in to fight the blaze according to the Associated Press.

The player who caused the blaze is a yet unnamed as is his iron make, although many firefighters reported them to be the new Callaway X24 “Hot” irons! The tinder dry conditions following a recent heat wave were highly conducive to this kind of event.
