Garsen Putter Grips Now Available on Odyssey and Toulon Putters

Miami, Florida-Garsen Golf announces Garsen putter grips are now available on the Odyssey Golf website as a custom grip option for all Odyssey and Toulon putters. Customers will be able to choose from 3 Garsen grip options; The Max Black/White, The Quad Tour Tapered, and the Quad Tour Non Tapered when ordering a new Odyssey or Toulon putter.

The Garsen MAX is the most innovative and unique of all the models of grips in the lineup. By using a square grip with a 45% rotation, the “front” of the grip now becomes an angled area perfectly fitting the players’ grip and creating a much more biomechanically efficient position for the putting stroke. Unlike a traditional putter grip, the MAX places your hands in a position so the palms face each other and the wrists are in a neutral position. It turns your elbows into your body and sets your shoulders back leading to a more one-piece feeling stroke.

Sam Bennett Holds Off Ben Carr to Win U.S. Amateur Championship at The Ridgewood Country Club

Nobody would have questioned Sam Bennett had he chosen not to return to Texas A&M University for a fifth year of eligibility. An All-American who finished tied for 49th in this year’s U.S. Open, Bennett had all of the recommended credentials to enter the play-for-pay ranks.

But he didn’t feel the timing was right. He wanted to graduate. He wanted to mature a bit more, and he enjoys being around his Aggie teammates. That explains why he chose to stick around College Station, Texas, this summer after the Arnold Palmer Cup in early July rather than chase titles on the summer amateur circuit.
