| Hi,
There is hardly any better place than Edwin Watts' to buy clubs
while you are in Florida. There address and telephone number will
be listed in any issue of either Golf Digest or Golf magazines.
By the way, also look at the new Hogan EDGE iron before you go off
and purchase the PING iron. Without a doubt, there are no better
clubs made than these two(2) and are easily fittable to any
style/size/swing you may have. The US pro bags are heavily populated
by PING's and HOGAN's for the right resaons!
Good shopping.

| 502.5 | Hogans on tour | COGMK::RESIDE | Well, I mighta gone fishin | Fri Jan 20 1989 11:31 | 4 |

Speaking of Hogans.... I noticed that Tom Kite was wearing a
Hogan visor at the Hope Desert Classic. Is he currently playing
Hogan clubs?

| 502.6 | wilson out - hogan in | MAMIE::GORDON | | Tue Mar 21 1989 11:57 | 6 |
| it seems that Kite's contract with Wilson ran out and Hogan must
have offered him more money cause he now play's/advertises HOGAN...
of course winning helps sales too....bet a lot of hogans will be
sold now...

| 502.7 | Good close-ups... | MSEE::KELLEY | Custom clubs/club repair | Tue Mar 21 1989 12:10 | 9 |
|
I don't remember ever seeing so many close-ups of the clubs
as were shown during the TPC. I also saw that Kite was playing
Hogans, I noticed somebodyelse also playing Hogans, Beck playing
Staffs, Lietzke playing Tommy Armour, etc... I haved tried to
catch what clubs players use during other tourney coverage, but
found it very difficult, not so during the TPC...!

| The other thing I noticed at TPC was the black titlest balls.
In the tournaments I've seen this year I only noticed 1 ping iron
and that was a wedge.

I also noticed several MAXFLI balls being used.
Ping... Kevin, you must not have watched the tourneys that Calcavecchia
played in...! With his copper-beryllium Pings...

| 502.10 | I'll bet they're custom made, though | CSDPIE::GRYGLIK | When's our tee time? | Tue Mar 21 1989 13:01 | 6 |
| Bruce Lietzke was using Ping look-alike irons. I think they were
845s or 645s. I noticed on Thursday that Tom Watson was using some
flavor of RAM clubs, then on the weekend he did a few commercials
for RAM. I also noticed that Tom Kite was using the quite common
green Victory grips.

| 502.11 | They aren't right off the rack...! | MSEE::KELLEY | Custom clubs/club repair | Tue Mar 21 1989 14:20 | 9 |
|
As I mentioned earlier Lietzke was using Tommy Armour's (Tommy
Armour 845s). Tom Watson has been using and promoting Ram for
years...
Mike, the clubs that you mentioned seeing Kite using with the
Victory grips, were they his woods or irons or both?
Gene
|
| 502.12 | Does he still use wooden clubs, too? | CSDPIE::GRYGLIK | When's our tee time? | Wed Mar 22 1989 07:39 | 5 |
| Gene, if I recall correctly, it was at least his irons. I don't
recall noticing the grips on any of his woods.

| Gene,
I haven't watched much golf this year (Too busy with other
things.) that's why I didn't notice I guess. I did notice Kite's
grips, they were the green victory on both woods and irons. He
was not the only one, but the names escape me. I did notice that
Kite uses woods and not metals though.

Kevin,
I noticed other players using the Victory grips and one or two
of them with cord. I also noticed a fair mix of metal woods and
wood/woods...
I remember reading an article back in January in a local paper
that Couples had switched from Pings to Tommy Armour, I don't
know if it is the same model as what Bruce Lietzke is using or
not. Does anybody know any more about this...?

| Can someone please give me some advice:
I will be visiting both Colorado springs and Dallas and I wish to
purchase some new golf equipment while i'm out there including, Irons,
woods, bags, shoes, etc. (much cheaper out there !).
Can someone recommend the best places for buying equipment.
Specifically, i'm think of Wilson Staff Progressive + TM or Big Bertha
drivers.
Thanks,
