WOULD A REAL MAN USE A 15 WOOD?

A 15 wood? When I started playing golf the only woods most players

carried were the driver and 3 wood. There were a few 4 and 5 woods

around but not many people carried them. Well times have certainly

changed. As I've told you I don't carry any iron longer than the 5

anymore. However, some folks are going farther than that. Some

manufacturers like Callaway (www.callawaygolf.com) are now making 11

woods and 13 woods. Thomas Golf has gone further and is also making 15

woods, 17 woods and even 19 woods. Now you can replace almost every

iron in your bag. Thomas Golf sent me a 15 wood to test. On the head

cover it says 15w and 7i, meaning it's about equivalent in distance to

a 7 iron. I took it with me on my regular Saturday round of golf and on

the first tee showed it to my playing partners and asked them if they

would all try a shot with it, at least once during the round. Well,

they did and then some. I tried it and it was very solid and very

accurate. What surprised me was how often my playing partners tested

the 15 wood. It was hit probably 15 to 20 times (I expected maybe 5 or

6 hits). One 22 handicapper really liked it. He probably hit it 9 or 10

times. He asked for the web site and I would be surprised if he

hasn't already ordered one. All of us found the 15 wood solid and easy

to hit. Thomas Golf now makes up to a 19 wood. If you fight with your

irons I would recommend trying a couple of these especially if your

have a 20 handicap or higher. For $79 (with a graphite shaft and

headcover) you can't go wrong. Check it out at:
