Tiger Woods aiming at the Grand Slam this season

I have just seen an interview with Tiger Woods saying that he is going give his all this year into winning the Grand Slam which is all of the Majors in one season! Can it be done?

Well every sport has a Holy Grail and it has to be said it is very rare that one single sportsman or team can win absolutely everything in one season. So is Tiger the man that can do it and is this the season for it?

Back in December I mentioned Tiger Woods as one to watch for this year because of his sheer determination and ability to almost win at will (which I know he can’t but it does seem that way sometimes) I thought that this year would be the year he would shine through more than previous seasons. Looking at the competition those who could challenge for the number one spot? Phil Mickelson has been suffering with illness at the start of the year. Jim Furyk didn’t look to be firing on all cylinders to me.

Steve Stricker, Justin Rose and Sergio Garcia could all grab a major this season but with Tiger Woods in obvious killer form at the moment is there a chance that Tiger could actually win the grand slam?

Golf Club Review | Nike SasQuatch Sumo Squared Driver

Posted under Clubs Reviewed, Drivers

Yes I have been holding off posting the review for this club, no I haven’t held back my feelings in the fact that I wasn’t keen on the club and for me the Nike SasQuatch Sumo Squared Driver was just well not right for my game. I will explain more on why I am posting the review now at the end of the article.

I have to admit it was the first squared driver I had used fully out on the course which was possibly one of the reasons I didn’t feel that is was ideal to my game. I had massive problems moving the ball right to left as the club hits the ball much to straight.

The long and straight promotion is 100% true but if you are used to moving the ball around from right to left or left to right then this is not the club for you. HOWEVER if you play the game where you want to hit long and straight then this is a good golf club. It makes that ugly sound that is a break from the normal ting when you hit it but the distance is very good.

Sales Bumph below (but remember there is a reason why I am posting this now):

So thats good distance, hits straight and the current price on the above buy button is $299 which is $100 cheaper than it was a month ago! So why would I not buy this club? Well one very simple reason, I heard a rumor that proved to be true and is the reason I have been holding off on this post. The new Nike SQ SUMO 2 5900 Driver is being released to the world on the 1st of February 2008 and if what I have heard is true then it knocks socks off the old one.

I am not completely sure when I will be able to get my hands on the 5900 but I will be trying hard to try it within the first week of it being released.
