Review Pics: Bubba Watson Gets His New Ping G30 Driver With "Turbulator" Fins

Ping have handed out their new G30 driver to players including Bubba Watson at The Greenbrier Classic on the PGA Tour.

The new matte blue hue'd Ping G30 succeeds the G25 (released on Tour in 2012)  which goes down in the history books as a solid driver that leaned a little more towards forgiveness than length.



The key feature of the new G30 sure to grab headlines is the presence of six fins which Ping have dubbed "Turbulators" on the crown of the club, designed to streamline aerodynamics during the swing. Better aerodynamics mean less drag, more clubhead speed, ball speed and thus distance.

Ping also look to have addressed their loft adjustability options in this new G30 giving more choice but that will be lost in the swooning over the Turbulators.

How the Turbulators go down with the public remains to be seen.  I've heard batman, rhino and lizard comparisons already.  It would appear to be geared a little more towards aesthetics but hey air splitters (turbulators) work on super cars, so why not on golf clubs!

Well done Marty Jertson, but I couldn't help having some fun with the idea!

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking two aerial liquitabs and a hot whit

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin Montgomeri
