The Mustache Open

After a brutal third round of golf at the 2007 Masters golf tournament,

the powers that be at Augusta had some mercy on the competitors and

softened the course for the fourth and final round.

Make no mistake it was the Masters golf course, Augusta National, that

won this most recent golf tournament. Not since the 1950’s and 1960’s

had viewers seen such a high winning score.

Little known Zack Johnson eventually won the 2007 Masters with a

score of 1 over par, but the grand old Masters golf course left little doubt

about the real winner.

Ever since Tiger Woods tore the golf course apart by shooting 18 under

par in 1997, the Masters golf course has been criticized as a relic of the

past.

The golf course at Augusta hosted the first Masters in 1934. Bobby Jones

called the tournament the “Augusta National Invitational Tournament”

until 1939.

After Tiger Wood’s dismantling of August National in 1997, the

membership has wrought many changes. These changes have been

popularly referred to as “Tigerproofing”.

The most notable changes involved lengthening the course, adding a

rough, additional trees, and deepening bunkers.

Several critics, including Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, have voiced

concern. Many are concerned that the changes have robbed the

Masters golf course of it’s unique character and charm.

Before the changes, they argue, Augusta National had a unique mix of

holes that required the player to be cautious on one hole and aggressive

on another. Now the players must constantly play defensively, they

argue.

It is hard to disagree with these critics after witnessing this most recent

Masters tournament. The fabled “Augusta roars” were largely missing

from Sunday’s back nine.

We think the secretive decision makers at Bobby Jone’s course panicked

after Tiger’s 1997 romp. They feared that new technology in golf balls

and golf clubs was threatening to render their course obsolete.

But Zack Johnson’s 1 over par winning score shows the flaw in their

thinking. Augusta National can still be plenty tough as it showed this past week.

Some of the measures taken were appropriate. Others, such as adding rough and deepening bunkers have robbed the course of it’s uniqueness. We hope the next changes restore some of Augusta National’s character.

Please, give us back the Masters. The Augusta National golf course won but golf didn’t.

The Masters is an annual signal that spring is here. Is it time to dust off

your golf game?

From the stunning emergence of Tiger Woods to the tragic loss of fan-favorite Payne Stewart; from Jean Van de Velde’s collapse at Carnoustie to David Duval’s breakthrough at the British Open; and from hot balls heading down the fairway to hot temps on the green, few, if any, of golf’s most controversial, comical or sad moments have been overlooked.

Evolve Golf Epoch Golf Tees $5.95 “Evolve Golf Epoch Golf Tees Evolve Golfs innovative Epoch golf tees are sweeping the PGA, LPGA, Champions, and Nationwide tours as the world’s best golfers experience increased distance and accuracy over traditional wooden tees. The new Evolve Golf Epoch Tees come in different packages: * (40) – 3.25″” tees, (10) – 1.50″” tees * (40) – 2.75″” tees, (10) – 1.50″” tees * (10) – 3.25″” tees, (5) – 1.50″” tees * (10) – 2.75″” tees, (5) – 1.50″” tees Details: * Used by more than 300 Tour Professionals * 22 Tour victories & over 300 Top 10’s * 93% less surface contact than wooden tees * Biodegradable * Conforms to USGA & R&A Rules Epoch Golf Tee Two years of research and development, utilizing the latest advances in biotechnology material science and aerodynamic surface geometry, has produced a tee that reduces backspin and sidespin deflection while adhering to the traditional form factor of the golf tee. The Epochs convex radius posts, which are wider than any golf ball dimple, allow the tee to only interact with the exoskeleton of the golf ball. This reduces surface contact by 93 percent, compared to wood tees, allowing Tour pros to achieve distance and accuracy lost due to the wood tees inferior design. Evolve Golf’s tour-proven Pure Launch Technology enables the golf ball to launch without negative influences. The Epoch has been the tee of choice for professional golfers with 111 top 20 finishes on the PGA Tour including, 56 top 10s, 28 top 5s, and victories at The Bank of America Colonial and U.S. Bank Championship. “”After hitting a few drives with a wooden tee and then changing to the epoch, I felt a significant difference. The epoch looks and feels like a traditional tee while in your hand. As soon as the ball leaves the tee you know that this is something special,”" said Brett Quigley, PGA Tour Professional “”It felt as if the ball came off hotter with less spin. Evolve Golf has introduced a great concept that actually works and does what it is intended to do. I believe for the better player it will provide noticeable benefits,”" said Arron Oberholser, PGA Tour Professional. Until now, the Epoch performance golf tee has only been available in prototype form to professional golfers. Evolve Golf’s biocomposite material is 100% biodegradable. The fact that the epoch golf tee combines superior performance with a renewable energy source derived from plants; and reduces maintenance costs for golf facilities, represents significant steps forward on several fronts. Just as the introduction of the metalwood driver 25 years ago marked the impending extinction of the persimmon wood from the PGA Tour, the introduction of the epoch is sure to represent such a quantum leap forward in tee design and performance. It likely marks the beginning of the end for wood tees on the PGA Tour in the years to come. With the growing popularity of deep-face drivers pushing demand for 3″” tees, the Evol
