| I received a box of Taylormade TP2 Golf Balls as a gift and finally tried them out today at the course. My first shot was to a par 3 with a pitching wedge. The ball hit on the green and spun back off into the rough. I went up to the green and found the ball mark. The ball had spun back 22 feet from the ball mark. Considering that it probably bounced forward at least three feet after it landed, it really spun back about 25 feet. Granted, it did hit into a slight incline and spun back on a down-slope. But that was crazy. I felt like Greg Norman.
For the rest of the round, the Taylormade TP2 Golf Ball pretty much ended up at or slightly behind its ball mark. Conditions were a bit damp but this ball has some serious spin. I stopped one dead in its tracks with a five iron. I’m going to have to try it again on a dry day to see how it does but for today, it was crazy spintastic. |

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.
