Perhaps Tiger Woods underestimated the problem. http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/tom-spousta/2009/02/27/fore_tiger_woods_plays_through_pga_tour_#c66080 2009-11-14T20:25:35Z richard [Visitor] go tiger woods! wooo http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/tom-spousta/2008/12/31/major_issues_tiger_woods_will_have_em_ph_2009#c65425 2009-08-13T01:44:47Z JT [Visitor] Ha ha. As we head into the PGA woods doesn't have a major and is unlikely to win the PGA either. Why does he always start slow at the majors? All the comments here are way of the mark and Tom's being proved right! http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/tom-spousta/2009/02/25/checking_out_the_new_taylormade_r9_drive#c65195 2009-07-15T07:00:26Z A M [Visitor] I hit the R9 this weekend. Kelled it, but I am a Nike guy thru and thru. Nice feel on the R9 regardless. http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/tom-spousta/2009/02/10/travelers_check_this_baggage_butterflies#c65187 2009-07-14T08:02:00Z Paul [Visitor] We have similar problems this side of the pond with carriers charging for baggage. Up to a couple years ago you could put your golf bag in the hold at no extra cost. Now most UK carriers charge up to 20 pounds each way plus a further cost to put a suitcase in the hold. On the last golf trip I had to Spain back in June the final cost of the return airfare was in effect double the price if I only turned up with a small bag that could go onboard with me in the cabin. May be looking to hire clubs at the resort in future. http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/tom-spousta/2009/02/25/checking_out_the_new_taylormade_r9_drive#c65178 2009-07-13T09:39:16Z Tom-Ivar Kjolberg [Visitor] If you loosen the shaft from the clubhead and turn it around, what happens to the markings on the grip? Will they counter rotate to be "in the right place"? Just wondering because I like to be able to look at the markings to give me a general idea of holding it correct.. http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/tom-spousta/2009/02/25/checking_out_the_new_taylormade_r9_drive#c64746 2009-05-26T03:28:43Z DAVE HAMRIC [Visitor] IS IT LEGAL TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE R9 DURING A ROUND? http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/tom-spousta/2009/02/25/checking_out_the_new_taylormade_r9_drive#c64644 2009-05-15T17:28:20Z Paul [Visitor] I have had my R7 Quad for a couple of years now and think it is an awesome driver. The new FCT technology goes one step further in the conquest for a fully adjustable driver. I have read a few reviews on the new R9 and they have been very positive. Looking forward to my local range getting a demo driver so that I can give it a thorough testing. http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/tom-spousta/2009/02/25/checking_out_the_new_taylormade_r9_drive#c64624 2009-05-14T02:06:24Z Bruce Upchurch [Visitor] Got my new R-9tp 4 days ago, On my 2nd round the head failed, (Cracked head) I play only Taylor made products Very disapointed with the quality. They said 3-4 weeks to get it replaced. Hope next one last longer. http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/tom-spousta/2009/01/30/pga_show_skycaddie_sg5_is_top_dog_in_gps#c64415 2009-04-22T09:22:37Z Paul [Visitor] I purchased a skycaddie sg5 last month and it is definitely a shot saver as well as reducing the time it takes to select the right club for shot yardage. The major problem that we have here in England is getting Golf Club Committees to introduce a Local Rule allowing measuring devices to be used in club competitions. http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/tom-spousta/2009/01/29/pga_show_callaway_cleveland_top_this_gol#c64192 2009-03-31T01:04:58Z Dan [Visitor] Nice review Tom. I agree both of these companies provide a lot of value with these two irons. And, the Rifle Project X shaft could be the tiebreaker... nice shaft. BTW, where did Taylormade finish:)

I've got to say though that my G 10 still works better for me. Its too tempting to try diferent 'fits' to compensate for swing errors. Also not to forget that according to the Rules, you can't fiddle with the configuration when you're in the middle of a round. http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/tom-spousta/2009/01/29/pga_show_entrepreneurial_golf_spirit_ali#c64152 2009-03-26T09:54:18Z Putting Greens Guide [Visitor] The fact that it could cut down on damage to carpets and floors will make it an attractive proposition for golfers and non-golfers (gift-buyers) alike. http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/tom-spousta/2009/02/10/travelers_check_this_baggage_butterflies#c64110 2009-03-21T05:50:50Z Kastuwiharja [Visitor] Perfect analogy! You got your way & they got theirs. Salt in the sea and lime on the land meet each other in the same chicken soup - in the right 'dosage'. I think they have their own 'dosage' that - I hope - better than 'because they can'. http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/tom-spousta/2009/01/29/pga_show_entrepreneurial_golf_spirit_ali#c64106 2009-03-20T09:15:37Z Ottawa Golf Blog [Visitor] Did a review of the Golfskins on my blog, nice product for golfing. http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/tom-spousta/2009/03/09/nike_improves_its_golf_game_with_new_str#c64071 2009-03-12T16:09:12Z Dan [Visitor] Great review! The STR8-FIT adjustable tip sounds very exciting to me, I'll have to try it out. Thanks.

I'm a Taylormade fan (loved the R5) so looking forward to testing this out soon. Great review!

Some PGA Tour radio wonk said "Cheers Mate" to Geoff Ogilvy and came off sounding like a tool. Other than that, great article. Might make me want to buy a TM if I didn't love my Nike Squatch so much! http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/tom-spousta/2009/02/17/rosen_shingle_creek_resort_salutes_milit#c63970 2009-02-25T16:35:03Z Veronica| golf academy [Visitor] This propmotion to benefit our service members is fantastic!
