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.

Ian Poulter 2014 Open Championship IJP Design Script
The Open Championship returns to Hoylake, Liverpool for the first time since 2006.  And this year the competition for the Claret Jug is wide open. 

IJP Design Ambassador Ian Poulter would love to capture his first major championship at Royal Liverpool, and to that end Poulter will be dressed to kill. 

Here's a breakdown of Poulter's four British Open outfits this week, comprised of the IJP Design Rubix and Resort Collections. 

 

If you'd like to learn more about these particular designs, check out IJP Design and on twitter @IJPDesign.  And as Ian himself likes to say, "Look good.  Play great."

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.
