It's time for my July FREE GOLF giveaway!

As you might already know, every month for the rest of the year I'm giving one of my twitter followers a FREE ROUND of GOLF for FOUR to some of the best courses in the United States and Canada. 

The winner and three of his or her friends will play 18 holes for free (green fees and cart all included) at a fantastic course close to his or her home. 

To enter, follow me on twitter @PGAPappas and look for my FREE GOLF Contest tweet.  Then just retweet it and you're automatically entered. 

This month I'm giving away TWO free golf winners.  One winner will be from my home state of Ohio. 

The May free golf winner was @marvgsan, who played with three of his friends at the beautiful, Donald Ross designed Biltmore Golf Course in Coral Gables, Florida. 

 

In June, @cTown_WUJU and @golfingfool99 were the winners.  cTown's foursome chose to tee it up at Sleepy Hollow Golf Course, one of Northeast Ohio's best courses. 

While golfingfool and three of his buddies decided to play the beautiful Glen Ivy Golf Club in Corona, California.

Good luck to all who enter.  Winners will be announced this Monday.

Wilson Staff Revives Classic 8802 Putter
Wilson Staff is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, and has reintroduced the putter that's won more majors than any other putter in history.  The classic 8802 is back. 

 

The 8802 has been used by the best players in the world, including Arnold Palmer, Ben Crenshaw, Greg Norman and Phil Mickelson. And has been a favorite of amateur golfers around the world. 

 

The classic heel-shafted head features a double milled face for a perfectly true roll.  And as you can see it's as beautiful as ever.

   

Check back for a full review soon.  And in the meantime if you'd like to learn more about the centennial celebration check out Wilson Golf and on twitter @WilsonGolf.

Pinehurst No. 2 U.S. Open Rough 
Before (2005) And After (2014)
Hardpan, wiregrass rough.  Firmer, faster fairways.  If you like absurd and sensational, Pinehurst No. 2 will have it.  Pinehurst looks completely different in 2014 than it did when the U.S. Open was last played here in 2005.
