Re: 2011 Tour Blog

I spent some time with Chris Wood during his 'off' period between Dubai and Sicily. He's been hard at it in the gym with Steve McGregor stacking on about 5kg- he looks like a different man. Give him a few years and he'll be an absolute monster.
That's not the only change... he also has a new caddie Matt 'the stat' Harbour. Its the first time in 20 months that he's changed so it'll be interseting to see how they go this week.
Woody was absolutely ripping it when we saw him in Bristol last week so we're hoping for good things over the next three weeks and an impromptu trip to Augusta next month!

Gosh I hadn't realized the truck was that big. Looks like a warehouse with all that equipment in there.

Good first round -4 from Wood.

Do you guys get to go to Augusta then? How great is that if you do!?

Backstage passes as Augusta? It's enough to give a guy a semi! lol

Re: 2011 Tour Blog

Just spotted a post from one of our staffers Pelle Edberg, sporting one of our uber-trendy flat caps.
We said we'd have some special guests!!
Wonder who'll post next??

Nice cap Pelle. Ben Hogan esq. Shame about the bed though. Are the cleaners on strike in Sicily?

Re: 2011 Tour Blog

I'm loving the cap - I tried one last year for a bit and may get a mizuno one - still on the look out for a military style one in the shops - haven't spotted one yet.

Welcome to the forum Pelle - hope you have a great season.


The tour truck has decided it would rather go to Bearwood Lakes for us guys than to sweat in the stuffy heat of Augusta. Each choice I reckon.

Just want to say thanks boys for doing this. We all know how busy you must be but it makes a difference to us.
Pelle that was some party looking at that bed.

Re: 2011 Tour Blog

Caps of choice for me this season.
I predict it's going to be a flat cap revolution on tour this year... Watch this space!

Re: 2011 Tour Blog

I like the other one (not military style). When are these for sale?

I wonder if Pelle has abandoned the bandana look?

hopefully not , it's quite a distinctive trademark look - Mizuno should kit him out with a Staff Blue bandana complete with the runbird logo prominent

I almost didn't recognise him without it on! Agree with the Mizuno logo'd bandana suggestion.

Re: 2011 Tour Blog

I found a military cap \o/ I reckon that'll be my "look" for the year - I've seen the flat caps in the shops too - maybe my next purchase. I have about 15 Mizzy headwear items now. (cheaper to collect than clubs :) )

Both caps are out there and are available to order. 15 quid it they are but - as you'd imagine - they're both high quality and both flexfit (which I'm a big fan of)

Re: 2011 Tour Blog

Hey Pete,

Like me I think you are an avid hat collector. Goes back to my childhood when I had a hat for every occasion. Cowboy, American GI, Roman soldier etc etc.
