Several golfing “minorities” have been in the news lately.
First, Chi Chi Rodriguez was honored by the US House of Representatives for assisting Latino and other at-risk youth.
Aside from my wondering why the Congress has the time to do such things, it’s a nice thing for Chi Chi.
Second, Sue Fisco, a businesswoman and teaching professional seemingly is on track to become the first female head of the PGA of America. She’s already distinguished herself as the first female member of the PGA Board of Directors.
Of course, Fisco isn’t technically a minority, since there were 155 million females to 151 million males in the US in 2009. But she surely is a minority in the golf world.
And finally, there’s going to be another African American on the PGA Tour next year. Joseph Bramlett—like Tiger, multiracial and Stanford educated—has made it through Q-School. That’s something Tiger didn’t have to do, and Bramlett becomes only the second African American to do so in twenty five years. The last was Adrian Stills.

Even as many of the best European players have decided to reject PGA Tour membership and stay closer to home this next year, the Tour has extended an olive branch. Normally, a player who has dropped their membership would be limited to ten starts in PGA Tour or PGA Tour co-sponsored events. Those co-sponsored events include the four majors, three World Golf Championship events and the Players. That leaves only two regular Tour event openings, and for Lee Westwood, that would have prevented him from defending his title in Memphis.
The sponsors of the Memphis event (which last year included PGA Tour bread-and-butter FedEx), could not have been happy about that. So, the Tour essentially decided to give Westwood a pass on the Players. With the new rules, teeing it up in the Players doesn’t count against your limit. Now, Westwood will be able to include Memphis on his list.
Four other players, including Rory McIlroy and Darren Clarke also will be able to take advantage of the ruling.
Oddly, players who have never been a member can play in 12 events. Seems like there’s a little bit of a scored lover issue going on there.

TaylorMade Forged Irons
TaylorMade has released three new sets of forged irons. Each is supposed to incorporate various design features to improve performance.
From their looks alone ... wow. The TCB (Tour Preferred Cavityback) looks like the one for me. Maybe TM will send me a set to try ...
The full press release is below
CARLSBAD, Calif. (December 2, 2010) — TaylorMade Golf has re-imagined and redefined the forged iron with the introduction of three new and distinctly different models: TPMB (Tour Preferred® Muscleback), TPMC (Tour Preferred Muscle Cavity) and TPCB (Tour Preferred Cavityback).
The sophisticated design of each of the three new models incorporates specific features and technologies developed to promote improved superior performance. Created with major input from tour pros, each new iron is an exquisitely designed instrument that blends classic forged iron features with modern performance elements. The TPMB and TPMC are both created using a state-of-the-art shaping process and modern, 6-step forging procedure that results in pure feel. The TPCB employs a multi-material construction comprised of a forged face and cast body.
“Forged irons are typically devoid of performance technologies,” said Bret Wahl, senior director of iron, wedge and putter development. “Their compact and solid construction, with thin sole, thin topline, high CG location and little to no offset, forces a very specific type of impact parameters to hit a good shot, with virtually no margin for error. The reward for that sacrifice is unparalleled feel and workability. We took a long, close look into the makeup of forged irons to determine if we could advance the performance with the use of technology, and we found that we could.”
TPMB: Innovation in a Forged Muscleback
The Tour Preferred MB is a finely wrought muscleback blade expressly designed for the purist. With clear lines, a compact player’s shape and minimal offset, the TPMB delivers the pure feel, feedback and workability coveted by blade fans.
“This is the iron that many of our Tour Staff pros been waiting for,” said Keith Sbarbaro, TaylorMade’s vice president of tour operations. “The lines are clear and clean from every angle, and the pure feel of the ball on the forged face at impact is as good as it gets.”
The exclusive, 6-step forging process employed produces a more precisely shaped and finished head that looks and performs like a work of art. A thin topline, thin sole, straight leading edge, minimal offset and tapered hosel work in conjunction to promote the kind of pure face-to-ball connection sought after by skilled players.
In addition, the TPMB incorporates TaylorMade’s innovative new precision-weighting port in the back of the clubhead to solve an age-old problem. In the past, clubmakers have installed cartridges of varying weight in the hosel to assure that each iron in the set is of uniform swingweight. Doing so, however, affects the location of the CG in terms of its position between the toe and heel. The TPMB’s precision-weighting port guarantees precise swingweights while ensuring optimal and consistent CG location in every clubhead.
“The precision-weighting port proves that it is, in fact, possible to innovate and improve the performance of a true, forged blade,” said Brian Bazzel, manager of iron and wedge creation.
The TPMB also incorporates an advanced, USGA-conforming groove design to promote more spin and control from the rough, a crucial advancement in making it the ultimate player’s performance iron. The standard shaft and grip properties were chosen with input from TaylorMade Tour Staff professionals, and include True Temper Dynamic Gold shaft —the most widely played on tour—and Tour Velvet grips, a combination deemed optimal for promoting consistent and responsive performance.
TPMC: The Ideal Forged Players Cavityback
TPMC irons are designed with a clean, classic and maneuverable player’s shape that offers the optimum blend of feel, workability, and forgiveness. By incorporating a compact, shallow cavity, the irons deliver the feel and workability of a forging plus a degree of added stability.
“We worked obsessively with our Tour Staff to shape the TPMC irons into something that looks perfect to the better player’s eye, while at the same time incorporating feel, workability and stability,” said Bazzel.
The end result is a sexy, workable player’s shape with a thin topline, straighter leading edge and less-cambered sole. Like the TPMB, the creation of the TPMC starts with an exclusive 6-step forging process, which produces a more precisely shaped and finished head that looks and performs beautifully. The sole is moderate to narrow in thickness and less cambered, preventing deep digging. The leading edge features minimal heel-to-toe radius with the ideal amount of camber to cut cleanly and precisely into the turf with little to no resistance.
Additionally, the advanced groove design promotes more spin and control from the rough.
TaylorMade’s precision-weighting port is incorporated into the TPMC, guaranteeing precise swingweights while ensuring optimal and consistent CG location in every clubhead to promote optimized ball flight in the long-, middle- and short-irons.
Equipped with True Temper Dynamic Gold shafts and Tour Velvet grips.
TPCB
The Tour Preferred CB is a multi-material forged cavityback that’s beautiful, powerful and playable. Designed with a two-piece head, the TPCB’s advanced construction melds a forged face with a cast body that incorporates an undercut cavity to deliver the pure feel of a forged iron and the forgiveness of a deep cavityback.
“Uniting a forged face with a cast cavity allows us to deliver the best of both worlds: the soft feel of a forging with the stability and forgiveness of a deep undercut cavity,” said Wahl.
The TPCB boasts the highest MOI of the three new irons. That, combined with its Inverted Cone Technology (the only iron of the three with ICT), which promotes faster ball speed on off-center hits, helps make the TPCB extremely forgiving for consistent distance from shot to shot.
The TPCB also features a precision-weighting port that guarantees consistent swingweight throughout the set while ensuring optimal CG location in every clubhead to promote optimal ball flight every iron.
Additionally, the TPCB features the same new, advanced groove design to promote more spin and control from the rough.
The TPCB irons is the only model of the three being offered in both steel and graphite shafts. The steel is a new, 110-gram, mid-flight True Temper Dynamic Golf XP, which is lighter and promotes higher flight compared to the standard Dynamic Gold steel shaft. The graphite shaft options, developed by Fujikura, are offered in 90-gram stiff flex and 80-gram regular flex. Tour Velvet grips are also standard.
Set Makeup, Pricing and Availability
All three of the new TP forged irons are offered in three shaft flexes – X, S, R. The TPMB and TPMC are available in the 2-iron through pitching wedge in steel shafts only. The TPCB, offered in both steel and graphite shafts, will be available in 3-iron through attack wedge. The standard TP set includes eight irons—custom sets will allow combination of any eight irons offered in each models—at a street price of $899. The street price for the TPCB irons with graphite shaft is $1099. The TPMB, TPMC and TPCB irons become available at retail starting in March 2011.

Poulters Wins With Cobra Driver
CARLSBAD, CA (November 22, 2010) - Cobra Golf Tour Professional Ian Poulter captured the UBS Hong Kong Open with a 22-under-par 258 Sunday, securing the 11th position in the Official World Golf Ranking. Poulter's final-round 67 helped him claim his 10th win on the European Tour, after posting scores of 67, 60 and 64 in the first three rounds. The victory follows a T6 finish at the Barclays Singapore Open, an event Poulter won last year when he first put the Cobra ZL Driver in play.
Before arriving in Hong Kong, the 34-year-old Poulter was ranked No. 14 in the Official World Golf Ranking. But this victory moves him up three notches, and further fortified his confidence in his Cobra Golf equipment.
"My Cobra driver and irons have really helped me boost my game this year," said Poulter. "I am especially impressed with the ZL Driver, this is my third win using it and the first using the all-white version. I like the visual of it, it's really very cool. It's unique and different than any driver I've seen -- plus its performance is great, too. Just like the ZL Driver that I've used all year."
En route to victory, Poulter was playing Cobra Golf clubs, including the Limited Edition ZL Driver (9.5°) with a Fujikura Motore Speeder shaft, Cobra Pro CB 3- through 6-iron with True Temper Dynamic Gold X100 shafts, and Cobra Pro MB 7-iron through pitching wedge with Temper Dynamic Gold X100 shafts. Poulter earned his first victory in the U.S. earlier this year at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, where he also used a Cobra ZL Driver.
The Englishman's score of 60 on the tournament's second day included 10 birdies, tied the Tour's 18-hole scoring record, and was one of his personal bests. "I would rank it pretty high, to be honest," he said. "I hit 61 in Italy in 2002 I think, so it's my lowest round of golf to date. So I would have to rate it up there. I played great all week. It's just nice to be able to have another 'W'."

Online Tee Time Services Right For The Times
Digital Lifestyle, Consumer Trends Make Online Tee Time Services Right For The Times, According To Industry Panel At Golf Inc. Conference ORLANDO, Fla. (Nov. 22, 2010) - As golfers migrate toward a digital lifestyle and seek out easier ways to make choices, courses that make their tee times available online and use third-party distributors to augment their marketing have a competitive advantage, according to participants in a panel discussion at the Golf Inc. Conference in Las Vegas.
"We're in a time when there is an overabundance of information, but at the same time consumers are feeling more deprived of time than at any time in history," said Jon Last, president of Sports & Leisure Research Group. "As a result, they're looking for simplicity and options in the choices they make. Some of the things they value don't always lend themselves to the old ways of doing business in golf."
Last said the time pressures consumers feel and the number of choices they have for their leisure time and dollars argue for a larger marketing "footprint," which includes online tee time reservation services.
"Given this environment, where people are inundated by messages and their choices include not just where they might play golf, but if they're going to play golf, the greater presence you have and the more prominent the places where you're showing up, the easier you're going to be to find. Online services create a pull strategy as well as a push strategy."
"The biggest (feedback) we get from our players regarding the online service is convenience," said panel participant Greg Avant, owner and director of golf at the Lone Tree Golf Club in Chandler, Ariz. "For them, to be able to go online and compare prices is very appealing. Price sensitivity is definitely part of the world we live in today."
Mike Loustalot, who co-founded Golf Channel's GolfNow.com online tee time service in 2002 and has been involved in marketing tee times online since 1998,, encouraged operators to show a representative sample of their tee time inventory online to give golfers more choices.
"I don't necessarily advocate showing all of your inventory at once, but you should have a broad enough selection of inventory on your site so a customer can make a decision to buy," Loustalot said. "The pricing of that inventory should vary according to dayparts and your patterns of play. I don't say show 248 times each day, but have times throughout the day, so people have a choice."
A service of Golf Channel, GolfNow.com uses its broad marketing and distribution resources to help golfers search for available tee times and make reservations that fit their schedules and budgets. In 2009, golfers booked 3.8 million rounds through the GolfNow.com site, generating more than $121 million in online revenues for partner courses. The service is now available at more than 2,400 courses in more than 50 U.S. markets.

UST Mamiya Shafts Help Win Order Of Merit
(FORT WORTH, TX) - UST Mamiya - maker of the world's finest carbon fiber golf shafts - confirms that the winner of the PGA European Senior Tour's Order of Merit relied on its AXIVCore Blue shafts in his driver and two fairway woods during the 2010 season.
The Thai native recorded four victories on the year and led the tour in the statistical categories of "Stroke Average" and "Scrambles." His success parallels that of other UST Mamiya shaft users around the globe, as the company captured 32 titles worldwide in 2010, including 14 on the PGA Tour. Other wins came on the PGA European, Nationwide, Champions and Asian Tours.
"Our shafts are tremendously well represented in the professional ranks and we're happy to have contributed to the success of so many players," says Gene Simpson, COO of UST Mamiya. "Golfers of all skill levels are rapidly switching to UST Mamiya shafts and enjoying longer, straighter shots and lower scores."
The AXIVCore Blue Series incorporates an active tip section that provides a higher launch for longer carry distance. Like other shafts in the AXIVCore line it integrates a true weave 4-axis material within the inner walls of the butt section, providing stability and consistent shaft recovery. It is counter-balanced to reduce club heft and help players gain clubhead speed.
Likened to the precision of automaker Lexus, all UST Mamiya carbon-fiber shafts are unrivaled in quality attributed to world-class engineering, premium-selected raw materials and handcrafted, repeatable production techniques. Tight tolerances, constant taper design and low-resin content enhance feel during the golf swing.
UST Mamiya produces 35 shaft models within the ATTAS and Proforce product lines:
• ATTAS - Introduced in Japan in early 2009 and in North America late last year, this premium shaft was immediately adopted by Tour players globally. Innovatively engineered with smooth-bending properties throughout the shaft's constant taper design, more energy is transferred to the ball for instant feedback with greater distance. Ultra-thin carbon fibers optimize feel and allow the shaft to maintain its shape for consistent, accurate shots. ATTAS is distinguished by its tri-color look, notably its atomic orange.
• Proforce - Famous for its bright gold color and contributing to multiple major-tournament victories, Proforce shafts have been UST Mamiya's flagship since winning the 1999 Masters. The V2 incorporates the company's original "tip technology," masterfully balancing torque, weight, spin and launch angle for extraordinary power off the tee. The latest in the Proforce series, the AXIVCore features four-axis material promoting stability, control and ease of swing for increased ball speed.
About UST Mamiya
Since 1991, UST Mamiya graphite shafts are favored by recreational and competitive golfers worldwide. In 2009, UST (U.S.) and its parent company, Mamiya-OP (Japan), combined operations, including research, development, production and materials-sourcing talents. Distributed in 30-plus countries, UST Mamiya provides shafts to consumers, retailers, club-fitters and original equipment manufacturers Adams, Bridgestone, Callaway, Cleveland, Cobra, Mizuno, Nike, PING, Taylor Made, Titleist, Wilson and more. Company R&D and manufacturing facilities are in the U.S., Japan, China and Bangladesh. UST Mamiya advisory staff includes renowned instructors among GOLF Magazine's "Top 100" and at Golf Digest's "America's 100 Greatest Golf Courses."

His one-shot victory moved him into the World Top 10, while the 1st Place check for 301,446 Euros took his earnings on the European Tour to just under 2 million for the season. He's currently 5th in the Race To Dubai Rankings. He and his RIFE Aruba putter rank 6th in Putts Per GIR (Greens In Regulation) on the European Tour right now with a 1.725 average.
His success hasn't been limited to just the European Tour though. He's earned over $2 Million Dollars on the PGA Tour this season as well, making him one of the highest money earning Tour Players in the World.
It was truly a battle of RIFE putters as the runner up used a black, center shafted RIFE Barbados putter to finish just one stroke off the lead and capture a 2nd Place Finish.
This marks the 14th Tour win of the 2010 season for RIFE Putters, and their 44th victory overall, dating back to 2008. RIFE has captured wins on every major circuit worldwide, making RIFE Putters one of the greatest stories in the history of the golf business.
About RIFE Putters
RIFE Putters, LLC is the true innovator behind horizontal grooved face putter technology with a patent on specifically sized grooves since 1997. These precisely spaced grooves allow the putter to gently press into the cover of the ball and grip and lift it into an instant forward roll. Guerin Rife states, "just as grooves in irons help control spin so do grooves in a putter face." Other companies are now trying to imitate this patented technology but the spacing of the grooves is the true key to the gripping and lifting effect of grooved face putter technology. Horizontal RollGroove™ faced putters create the truest "no skid" roll in golf no matter where you hit the ball on the putter face.

In time for the Christmas season, Amazon has a big selection of overstock sports and outdoor products. There’s golf stuff there, but you have to go a few pages in: tees, Nike One golf balls, and so forth.
