| I just picked this up from Amazon.com. Used it Sunday and hope to take it out on the course again on Friday. Perhaps after a trip to the range, I’ll have enough feedback to write up a little review of the Taylor Made Golf- Rescue Mid Hybrid Iron/Wood Graphite.
I’ve never been a big fan of rescue clubs. The Taylor Made Golf- Rescue Mid Hybrid Iron/Wood Graphite still has not made me a big fan of rescue clubs. The Taylor Made Hybrid that I purchased is similar to a two iron in loft. I was thinking that it would be a good club to hit on my second shot into par 5′s. I think it would also be useful to keep the ball lows and get out of trouble under trees. I haven’t had much use for it off the tee as of yet. Perhaps a higher loft Taylor Made Rescue club would come in handy on more par 3′s. I hit mine about 215 yards, and it does loft the ball much higher than a 2 iron. It is easier to hit than an iron but, in my opinion, not as easy to hit as a wood. I’ll keep working with it and keep you posted. |
Update 3-23-08 I’m still not a huge fan of hybrid clubs. Perhaps, I should have purchased a higher lofted rescue club. I don’t use it off the tee much and rarely use it on other shots. It could come in handy as a good chipper though. I’ll look for more opportunities to use the rescue this season.

Tiger’s shot on 13 ultimately did him in
Woods pulled off a miraculous shot at 13 which gave him the confidence to try what would have been an even more miraculous shot at 15, a slice 5 iron from 228 yards. The shot on 15 turn out to be ill advised. He did save par but in reality a par on 15 is a bogey especially when you are 3 behind at the time.
2007 Masters: A complete bore
Besides the lousy announcers (Faldo excluded), the 2007 Masters was a complete bore. Sure there was a little intrigue with Tiger trying to fight his troubled swing and come from three behind, but Masters tournament organizers had made the course so tough that the back nine on Sunday (typically the most exciting 9 holes of golf) was devoid of excitement. Where were the slew of birdies and eagles that allowed competitors to make a final 9 charge?
Granted Woods did have a back nine eagle and then completely blew it on 15 going for another, there were no other notable fireworks. Perhaps Masters tournament geniuses will figure it out next year and bring back the opportunity for the most exciting nine holes in golf.
