So, as most people will have heard (and probably guessed) Tiger Woods has started what will possibly be the first of many wins this year at this weekend’s Arnold Palmer Invitational at the Bay Hill Club and Lodge in Orlando, Florida.

“It feels good,” he said afterwards. “It feels really good to be back in contention and feel the rush. It’s been a while.”

Asked about how his rivals cope with such a final-day charge, Woods added: “I’m trying to beat them just how they’re trying to beat me. It doesn’t change.

“It’s just about being there and somehow timing it right, and making putts and pulling off shots at the right time.

“Some guys put themselves in contention more times than others, but still, we’re all trying to win tournaments.”

If you’re thinking of buying some new golf equipment but aren’t sure where to start, why not look at what the best is using.

Tiger Woods uses:

Nike Dymo Prototype Driver
Now while Tiger might be using a prototype, there’s nothing stopping you from picking up one of the Nike Dymo Drivers that are already available such as Nike SQ Dymo Drivers, Nike SQ Dymo STR8-Fit Drivers, Nike SQ Dymo² STR8-Fit Drivers or one of the many others available.

Nike SQ II Woods
The new quad keel design helps reduce friction at impact normally found with bigger headed fairway woods.  Four separate quadrants on the sole minimize interaction with the turf at impact, making it easier to: 1. Get the ball in the air from any lie; 2. Control the head through the impact zone; 3. Hit it straighter and farther with confidence.

Nike Victory Red TW Blade Irons
Forged from 1025 Carbon Steel, the Nike TW Blade irons are a masterpiece for precision. Designed by Tiger, the blade features a modified backpad and slightly thicker toe paired with a muscle back design.

Providing the ultimate ball control and shot shaping, Nike TW Victory Red blades are the perfect irons for low handicap golfers looking to refine their skills on the course.

Nike Victory Red Sand Wedge
These superior wedges have high res grooves for shot stopping capabilities. Good enough for Tiger!! good enough for anybody.  The aggressive High Rev grooves are designed and milled into the club head up to the allowable limit to produce maximum spin for increased control and shot placement.  Tour-inspired heel grind allows for increased shot-making capabilities from various lies.

Scotty Cameron Studio Newport 2 Putter
The Studio Select putter range is the result of Scotty Cameron’s putter research and their drive to create a putter collection with the finest technical performance and incredible overall feel. The precision milled 303 Stainless Steel Newport putters feature an improved high toe profile and heel and toe circular sole weights that allow for numerous length options in each model.

Homer’s epic Greek poem “The Odyssey” tells the story of hero Odysseus on his journey home to Ithaca after the fall of Troy.

Odyssey putters send a golf ball on a journey to the hole and, whilst not, an epic event, the excitement and anticipation, the difference between success and failure, the triumphs and tribulations are no less real.

In Homer’s poem, the outcome of the journey was decided on by the actions of ordinary men and women and the choices they made. Similarly, the putter a golfer chooses to use can influence the golf balls travels and how short or long that journey will be.

Odyssey concentrates their energies on the game within the game, which is putting. All of Odyssey’s resources, innovations and technology are ploughed into bringing golfers the best choice of putters.

Odyssey arranges their golf putters into series, which are then broken down into individual putters within that series:

Odyssey White Hot XG Series: Featuring XG insert technology for added feel, distance control, feedback, forgiveness and produces a truer roll. The series features the hugely popular 2-ball putter, which assist ball alignment, as well as, the dual fanged Sabertooth and fanged No.7 putters.

The Black Series features a rear tungsten flange to improve clubhead stability, as well as, the entire range being precision milled for greater feel and accuracy.

The Black Series-i putters are constructed in the same way as the Black Series, but, with the addition of a multi-layered Tour insert for added responsiveness and feel which appeals to top golfers.

The Crimson Series features three great putters, the 660, 550 and 770, which includes the crimson stronomic insert that increases feedback, and are priced for all golfers to afford.

The Divine Series is the series specifically created for lady golfers and was inspired by the great men’s putter designs, but, styled for how ladies play the game.

The Marxman Series are available in mallet or blade styles, and include a dual purpose putter/chipper, which are aligned and weighted for perfect putting accuracy.

Both, The White Hot Tour and Tour Authenticate series’ have been designed with the top professionals in mind. If you fancy using the putters that the pro’s use, and you have a suitably low handicap, these series’ are the crème de la crème of Odyssey golf putters and offer a customized feel and responsiveness that the top pro’s expect and demand.

So, if you do not want your golf putting journey to be as long as Homer’s epic Odyssey, than a smart move would be to look seriously at Odyssey’s line of putters.

Golfbuyitonline, not only, stock and supply a massive range of Odyssey golf putters, but, offer a, peace of mind, two year guarantee on the whole collection.

We’re already into day two of the Madeira Island Open.  The Madeira Island Open is a men’s professional golf tournament on the European Tour, played on the Madeira Islands in Portugal. It was founded in 1993 and is the first event of the season played in Europe.

The tournament has one of the smallest prize funds on the tour (€700,000 in 2007), and few of the tour’s top players take part. It is one of three European Tour events currently staged in Portugal each year, the others being the Portuguese Open and the Portugal Masters. It was hosted at Santo da Serra Golf Club from 1993 to 2008, but this year will be hosted at Porto Santo Golfe.

Last year’s winner was Scotsman Alastair Forsyth which was his second professional European win.

Forsyth turned professional in 1998. He won MasterCard Tour Order of Merit in 1999, having won the St Omer Open Championship, now a European Tour event, during the season.

Forsyth has played on the European Tour since 2000, after winning the qualifying school in 1999. In his début season, he just missed out on the Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year award, which went to England’s Ian Poulter. His best season to date was 2003, when he finished 19th on the European Tour Order of Merit. His first tour victory came at the 2002 Malaysian Open, and he has since managed just one further title, the 2008 Madeira Island Open.

Forsyth plays with Callaway kit and in his kit bag you’ll find:

•    Callaway FT-5 Driver
•    Callaway FT Fairway Woods
•    Callaway X-Forged Irons 3-9
•    Callaway Tour IX Golf Balls
•    Odyssey White Hot 2-Ball Putter

Golfbuyitonline are an authorised Callaway Internet Retailer and supply the fantastic Callaway i-Mix range.

Fade it. Draw it. Or take it over the trees. If you’ve got the creativity in your game to imagine golf’s most incredible tee shots, the new FT-9 Driver is made just for you. Callaway Golf engineers were able to expand on the success of the FT-5 and surpass expectations with the FT-9 Driver. With the addition of Hyperbolic Face Cup Technology, ball speeds across the entire face have been dramatically improved to generate even more distance off the tee. Golfers will have the option to choose Draw or Neutral configurations with the help of external web weighting that helps precisely position the CG to promote the desired trajectory and ball flight for the desired shot shape. The FT-9 Tour Driver features a slightly open face angle and produces stronger, more penetrating trajectories preferred by highly accomplished players.

This is the driver the shot makers turn to. Versatility, distance and control all in one space-age package. The FT-9 Driver was designed to deliver the most creative shot-making you can think of.

Features include proprietary technology which creates maximum perimeter weighting and more discretionary weight by combining a carbon composite body with the titanium face cup. This allows for precise positioning of the centre of gravity, which increases stability on off-centre hits and enables ball flight customization for shot-shaping control.

The OptiFit Weighting System enables golfers to customise their driver by giving them two center of gravity locations to choose from: Draw for promoting a draw or reducing a slice/fade, and Neutral for maximum workability.

Fusion Technology allows the web weights to be precisely positioned for a center of gravity that generates the desired Draw or Neutral ball flights, letting golfers hit longer and more accurate drives.
