So, George H.W. Bush plays fast. How Fast? "We played in about two hours."
Clinton: "Lots of Cuts."   When pressed on whether that means a lotta cuts at the ball or cutting corners, Tiger diplomatically repeated his initial assessment of "cuts."  As for Obama, he hits it straight. "Hard to hit it crooked when you hit not longish."  Start the above vid at 4:20 for the presidential golf bit.

The big time movie star's lifebombing exploits are  now legendary from doing the dishes at a random house party to crashing a kickball game, he has shown a knack for popping up when least expected and that just might be your wardrobe.

“The more relaxed you are, the better you are at everything,” is the mantra of Bill Murray’s new golf lifestyle brand, William Murray.  Teaming up with his bros, incidentally all inductees into the Caddie Hall of Fame, the irreverent brand aims  to help the sport loosen up its buttons a little bit. The insignia on the polos is Murray in silhouette flicking his putter in mock disgust at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.   The actor isn’t profiting from the venture, with his cut supporting the Murray Bros. Caddyshack Foundation.  The above pictured Cubbies shirt was limited edition and is already sold out but if you like to knock back an old fashioned on the 19th hole you'll get a kick out of the below polo which is part of the current catalog.

Golf fans heading out to Napa to catch a round or two of the Safeway Open are a little peeved, many buying tickets after Tiger committed to the event which is typically a showcase for players without a firm grip on that PGA Tour card.  Jimmy Walker notched his first top tour win here in 2013 and  last year Emiliano Grillo grabbed his victory numero uno.
 
But this time around was supposed to be the return of the mack but el Tigre pulled at the 11th hour just a couple days before the event’s pro-am where he was slated to play with with Steph Curry leaving many fans miffed.

 Tiger Woods official statement was:
“After a lot of soul searching and honest reflection, I know that I am not yet ready to play on the PGA Tour or compete in Turkey."
 
But What’s the Real Reason Tiger Got Cold Feet?  Lets count’em down
 
#6 Caught a real bad case of the Chip-yips, the most embarrassing strain of the debilitating golf ailment.
 
#5  Kept going back on forth on whether he’s going to go with Mizuno or PXG irons and just couldn’t confidently make the decision.
 
#4    PHIL-OPHOBIA- He got word of the pairing with Mickelson and I get it, playing with Phil is no picnic
 
#3    When Jesper Parnevik crowed to Golf Digest that Woods was “flushing everything” he meant at the Bidet Superstore.
 
#2    Was hankering for some old school Beyonce so was listening to Destiny’s Child and that, “ I don't think you ready for this jelly.  I don't think you ready for this jelly,” line really stuck in and hey Safeway sells a ton of Smuckers.
 
#1 While fetching players turkey sandwiches and performing the other pertinent duties of the Ryder Cup Team’s assistant captain he realized these guys aren’t just really good, they’re incredible.  

The sky’s still the limit but when you use “the Force” pulling off high trajectory and on-target fairway wood blasts is a whole lot easier.  Thanks to a unique dual slot design, the Air Foil flexes inward on impact allowing the nitrogen embedded in the club head to thrust the face back towards its initial position at incredible velocity. This creates a mighty slingshot effect and coupled with a high launch angle makes getting your golf ball up in the air a snap.


AFO has carved out a niche in the easy-to-hit market (recall our first flying lesson with the DFX), and the nitrogen charged Air Foil’ certainly hits the mark in this regard and you can win you a sash in a ball flight beauty contest.   The fairway wood is available in a 15-degree 3-wood and 19-degree 5-wood.  The Air Foil rings the register at $149 and comes with an AFO Fujikura graphite stock shaft or you can upgrade to other shaft options for an extra $50.
