Clubs: A Striking Approach

Fairway Woods


(page 1 of 6)

The age-old battle between golf course designer and player is one of attack and defense. In one corner the architect scours the land to mold courses that challenge, reward and remain a testament to their creator for generations. In the other, the golfer, strikes with precision and utmost care to solve the mental and physical conundrums set forth by the courses maker. And somewhere in the midst of this tug-of-war are the mediators. The many club engineers whose weaponry warrant massive drives, spinning pitches and pure putts. As tee boxes progressively move farther back and pins are tucked (spitefully), distance and accuracy become every golfer’s growing obsession—as if golf isn’t hard enough already. According to the National Golf Foundation, more than half of the 28.6 million golfers rarely break 100. Here are The Green Magazine’s picks to help you take vengeance upon Dye, Fazio, and Jones Jr. So fight the good fight and no matter what—play on!
