Just watch recorded tv of Hunter mahan striking the ball so well in round 2. He plays a similar game to Lee westwood. Dead straight off the tee and hits lots of greens but with a comparatively ordinary short game. Might have to get me some ping irons and woods.... Then again maybe not!

I dont know Dee

I'm so bored with no golf again that ive just had a look at Ping.com

Reckon i could play
G20 or I20 Driver
I20 fairways and Hybrids
Anser Forged irons and wedges
and lets face it Ping's putter line up is a match for anyone

Ping do offer a really good Leftie line up. (the one glaring Mizuno issue!)

All i need now is my PING Balaclava so nobody can see that its me using them!

Their drivers are good - I'll grant them that! I had a G2 many moons ago and it was a decent driver.

The new range looks nice.

Their irons are pig ugly though!!

Hunter is an amazing golfer, been working on his short game with mark roe so hopefully he will improve around the greens. If he does he'll have a major soon. I am curious when j Byrd plays again. Ping makes good drivers and fairway woods. I use to love the s series of irons until I hit some mizzys, I couldn't see paying close to the same price for something that's not forged.

It's going to be weird watching this today, no spectators or volunteers allowed at the course today. They had a huge storm in the area last night, the damage to the course is quite substantial.

Some pictures can be seen here: http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/topic/686904-att-national-closed-today/

You know me well Chris. You're right i don't think I could play Ping's regardless of what they produced. I just really like idea of having a whole bag of one make (another of my little oddity's) and it narks me a little that I cant do that with my brand of choice. But i've mentioned that once or twice before I think ;-)

Tiger TV about to go into overdrive. Will Mark Roe be able to contain himself?

It's quite nice watching the US golf without the gallery - it looks like there's a few green staff and what-not watching but, crucially, no "In Da Hole" guy!!

I've been getting excited to see Tiger and Hunter near the top as they're both in my TG fantasy team - then I checked - and they're in pretty much everyone's TG fantasy team!

A breath of fresh air today not having hear some loud mouthed schmuck bellowing "mashed potato!".

In other news BVP tied with our favorite gift to golf at 6 under with about 5 holes to play. DeJonge leading at 7.

I might be starting to think the "Tiger's back" rumours might just be coming true...
