New Grips for 2012, Butch Harmon recommends Winn Grips

World renown golf instructor and golf coach for PGA TOUR stars, Butch Harmon, has for some time now been recommending the use of Winn grips. He is not just a spokesperson for Winn, Butch has been using them himself since they first came on the scene. He also passes on this information to his pupils at his golf training academy, http://www.butchharmon.com/the-golf-tips/putting/scoring.html                                   Apart from possessing natural skills Butch is a great believer in enjoying what your doing, you must have fun playing golf.

Natalie Gulbis from the Ladies Tour is also a fan the these grips, you can hear what they both have to say at this link; http://www.winngrips.com/our-company/tour-staff

We here at White Dragon Golf use Winn grips on our new putter, which has just recently been confirmed by the Royal and Ancient as conforming to the rules of golf. So we will soon be offering this new equipment on the worldwide web. Not sure if we can get Butch to trial one of these putters, but we will be asking him to take a look. I will keep you informed of our progress.

New Zealand Open

Michael Campbell stumbled again in yesterdays first round of the New Zealand open, shooting a 5 over par 77. He attributes his problems to his poor performance with the putter. He lamented,

‘It’s not behaving now,” he said of his flat stick.

”That’s the only thing that’s been suffering over the last year, really, is my putting. Normally putting is the strong part of my game but this year it’s been the other way.

If Michael is looking for a new putter he could always contact white dragon golf for the latest New Zealand designed putter.

The Open is the first truly international sporting fixture to be played in sports-starved Christchurch since February’s earthquake.

Rory McIlroy is tied for the lead in the Hong Kong Open, shooting 64 on the first day. He is pretty happy with the course and the way in which he handled the tricky winds. He said after the round,

“I think, first of all, the greens are a lot firmer and a lot faster than they usually are, which makes it tougher to get the ball closer to the hole, but the wind today was a big factor,” said McIlroy

“It swirls in these trees, you can feel it one minute downwind and the next right to left so you just have to trust where the wind is coming from. I was able to do that today, I got a couple of gusts where the ball might have gone a few yards left or right from where I wanted to but all in all, I was able to handle the wind pretty well.”
