Thursday At The Open: Bunkers Steal The Show

One more good quality of the holes at Hoylake deserves a word of mention; it has been called by Mr. Low their “indestructibleness.” By this most useful, if inelegant word, he means that they are good whether played with or against the wind, and that is very high praise, particularly as there are few courses on which a change of wind more completely alters the character of each individual hole. Blessed indeed is the hole which can keep its good character whichever way the wind is blowing. BERNARD DARWIN

Mizuno Unveils ST-G Driver, Fairway Wood and T24 Wedges 

There’s a subset of golfers who get overly excited by a new Mizuno release. If golf manufacturers were football (soccer) teams, Mizuno are Arsenal: Perennially among the best but always the slight underdog, with a rabid fanbase who, while hoping for a bright future, fondly reminisce about former glories.  

But at The Open this week at Royal Liverpool, not only have Mizuno unveiled some wedges that will appeal to the Mizuno fanboys, they’ve unveiled a driver that will get a whole different subset of golfers’ hearts pounding fast. 

ST-G Driver 

Driver head shapes have generally gotten flatter with shallower faces. Giant pancakes, if you will.  And because nearly everyone is trying to put the centre of gravity low and rear, drivers are starting to share a similar shape at address.  

But there’s a bunch of internet golf gearheads who obsess over deep-faced drivers. And I mean DEEP. From the fabled TaylorMade R7 SuperQuad 282 and R9 SuperDeep, the COBRA Speed Pro D and the Bridgestone J33, they were built to be teed high and let fly.
