Bridgestone Balls. Superior technology.

He said it. A Nike sponsored, major champion and US Ryder cup captain said it. He was asked about golf balls on Twitter. I saw it with my own two eyes. Bridgestone ball technology is superior. To everything!


"@PaulAzinger   Bridgestone way ahead of the rest in solid ball tech. 0 Xouts"

I don't use them.. have tried the RX and the B330 and the S.. the B was good but I can't remember how much control I got with it around the greens. The S was shorter noticeably. The RX flew straight and I couldn't spin it enough to hold hard greens... Part of my problem is irreversible. I'm close to 60. 

I swing at 102-3.. carry a 4 index. Hit a solid drive 250-60 in Monterey air.. somedays it's 220-230 and my season best this year is 273. GPS measured. Could I get 5-10 yards from a ball? I'd like to know. Tell me. Thanks!

St Andrews... Looking forward.. to what?

@SFBAYGOLF Kerr & Creamer unless Tigre wins this week RT @johnraser In your opinion, what's the most exciting story in golf right now?

@PlayersTowel St Andrews: Woods Appears to Be Confident but Is Searching for Consistency http://is.gd/drZTa

I so look forward to the Open.. have, it seems, all my life... but my golf story is two Americans on top of the LPGA after a lot of years of asking the question: where are the Americans? I'm not a nationalist, but I root for the home team and sure find Paula and Cristie a bit more accessible than an interpreter.. Paula and Cristie are the biggest story in Golf unless Tiger makes a run.. Agreed. But, can I pick Westwood again?  ...beware of the wounded golfer and the "experts" have picked the top players in the world. how about Darren Clarke? Who's your pick?

Saw the story about Tiger dumping his Cameron for a  Nike Method Putter... will it matter to anything but his bank account? There is the logical answer about it being heavier and Tiger thinking that will help him on the slower greens of St. Andrews. And KJ Choi borrows a page from the handbook of one Randy Haag... Look him up at Amatuergolf.com.

I've finished watching the miserable job the Golf Channel has done to preview the Open and the much better job that ESPN has done...It's time to get this show on the road and let the players do the talking. My hope is that someone someday puts someone with an ounce of intelligence in charge of the Golf Channel someday. It is truly an embarrassment most of the time.
