Finally, It's not about Tiger !!

LOS ANGELES, CA - NOVEMBER, 28:  Golfer Tiger Woods drives golf balls on a runway during a press conference as part of the Nike Golf Whistle Stop Tour at the Century Aviation Airport on November 28, 2006 in Los Angeles, California.

Time for a new topic though.
Nice to see Stuart Cink win one this weekend. It's hard to believe that it's been 4 years since his last victory, plus he's one of the good guys.
Nike is having a great year, the first two majors plus numerous other wins. They are getting serious about being the number one company in golf. Titleist, Taylor Made and Callaway will need to sharpen their design and marketing pencils if they want to stay ahead of the Nike surge.
I've been playing the Nike One ball for about a year and prefer it over the Pro V.
I use the Nike driver, fairway wood and hybrids and would play the irons if not for my allegiance to Henry-Griffitts.
Nike are also rumored to be interested in acquiring a putter company, their putter offerings are currently the weak link in the line up but watch out if they buy Yes or another similar high end putter line.
