The Majors Should Freeze Purses
The game as played on the golf course represents only a modest part of the pleasure, enjoyment and satisfaction that comes to a person because he is a golfer. Unfortunately, the avid interest of the golfer does not always attach itself to those stroke-by-stroke recitals so frequently provided by average golfers in average locker rooms; but the lore of the game. the story of its development and of the stirring deeds of the great players of the past must always command the respectful attention of all who play golf at all regularly. To become reasonably knowledgeable in such matters comes close to being an obligation of a true golfer. BOBBY JONES

Pro V1x and AVX Available with RCT (Radar Capture Technology)
Titleist has added AVX and Pro V1x to its RCT golf ball lineup.RCT balls provide better spin capture in indoor settings.Retail price is $64.99 a dozen. Available now.
While I’m sure many were hoping that Titleist’s next big ball announcement would be the full retail availability of the Pro V1 Left Dot, the addition of AVX and Pro V1x Left Dash to the RCT lineup will have to serve as the next best thing.
About RCT Golf Balls
As a quick refresher, Titleist debuted RCT (radar capture technology) earlier this year with the release of Pro V1 RCT and Pro V1x RCT.
Developed by Titleist in partnership with TrackMan, the idea behind RCT is to provide better spin resolution and, ultimately, more reliable spin data in indoor and limited-flight environments where the ability of Doppler-based launch monitors to accurately capture spin rates is otherwise a little dicey.
The key to the technology is a special mark printed on the mantle layer (under the urethane cover) of the golf ball. In addition to eliminating the need for one of those silly metal dot stickers, RCT simply works better.
