“Being a medalist just proves to us that we really have a chance of winning,” said Leigh Chien, 16, who partnered with Anna Huang, 13. “It gives us a lot of confidence going into match play.”
I always have a great time when I'm fit at Club Champion, you guys know that already. The fitter expertise, the massive club and shaft selection, and ultimately the results of the final product and really being treated like a Tour pro. Club Champion is utterly fantastic.
Every time I have an opportunity to send one of you to Club Champion for a fitting I jump all over it. And I recently has a Go Deep with Club Champion driver fitting giveaway here on my blog, twitter, and Instagram. And the winner Joey probably sums it up best when he says about his new driver, "I'm CRUSHING this thing, my dispersion is half of what it was, and I'm hitting the ball further than I ever have."

You guys know I love Tour Edge clubs. Over the last few years they've been making drivers, woods, hybrids, and irons that go toe-to-toe with big OEMs, and honestly can't even be considered underrated anymore.
And this guest review of the Tour Edge C721 hybrid by Drew on twitter is particularly interesting because it's the first Tour Edge club he's ever played. And Drew has found ball flight with his new hybrid to be "penetrating and straight, really straight to be honest."
