Except for the part where he clearly stated he saw them at Mizuno’s tour truck at The Open.

If you ever even think of buying Mizunos, do yourself a favor and try a set of Epons. I had my heart set on Mizunos based on all the “sexiness”, but they actually felt like I was hitting rocks after trying out the Epons.

  “The Sexiest Irons Ever?”
  I strenuously object to comparing irons to sexism. Golf clubs don’t have a gender and are used equally by men and women. I really really hate all the sexism that pollutes this forum. I really do. It really turns me off.

    I hate to be pedantic but the irons aren’t being compared to ‘sexism’ but sexuality itself… desirability, more accurately. Your comment also assumes that only the female gender could ever be considered sexy. I know a few women who would argue that point as soon as you mention George Clooney.

AVL: My U.S. Amateur local qualifying experience

Published

Andrew Von Lossow

This past Monday, I played in the U.S. Amateur local qualifier at Rock Creek Country Club in Portland, Oregon. A full tee sheet from 7:30 a.m. to 1:55 p.m., the top 11 scores would make it to the U.S. Amateur final qualifying.

I teed off at 10:48 a.m.. With the 7:30 am tee time, you can get a feel for the leaders’ pace, and they were off and running on the challenging setup at Rock Creek.

Getting to the highlight of the round on the par five 17th, a drive up the left side and 212 yards left to the front hole location. I took out a 5-iron with plans of middle of the green. The ball ended up 8 feet left of the hole, pin high. A slight downhill putt dropped in for an eagle 3 on the 17th. With the cut line looking to be anywhere from -2 to even par. This was the boost I had been waiting for all day.

With making par from the trees on 18, it was time to wait for a potential playoff with a posted score of one under par 71.

Three hours later, it was playoff time. 8 players for 6 spots. I made par on the playoff hole, which was good enough to advance to the U.S. Amateur final qualifying in July. USGA qualifiers sure deliver on all of the emotions in golf!

On this episode of Club Junkie, I put the new Tour Edge Exotics Mini Driver to the test and break down the performance, forgiveness, distance, and where it fits compared to a traditional driver or strong fairway wood. If you have been curious about adding a mini driver to the bag, this one is worth a look.

I also dive into the new TaylorMade Spider ZT Max putter that was recently spotted and discuss the growing zero torque putter trend. Plus, there is a closer look at the new Project X Titan Yellow shaft showing up on the PGA Tour and what makes it different from other profiles currently out there.
