Snedeker's driver: $11.44 million bargain

Snedeker's driver: $11.44 million bargain

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2012COMMENTS (0)

Brandt Snedeker's win Sunday at the Tour Championship by Coca-Cola equalled the biggest single-day payday in the history of professional golf. His combined take for winning the final tournament of the FedEx Cup Playoffs was $11.44 million. Pretty impressive for a guy using a driver that you can get at Golfsmith for $120 these days. Technically, Snedeker plays a TaylorMade Superfast TP, but you can still find standard issue models of the same name for one-thousandth of one percent of Snedeker's Sunday afternoon payday.

Snedeker has been using a version of the driver for the last two years and he won with it earlier this year at the Farmers Insurance Open. He cracked the face midway through the season and was using a TaylorMade R11 for awhile before TaylorMade found one leftover model of the discontinued clubhead he could use to match his original.

"Some of the Taylor Made guys found one for me. They found it where it had been hidden away somewhere,'' Snedeker told WKRN-TV in his home of Nashville. 

Snedeker is that rare player on tour who is not locked into one brand of clubs throughout his bag. Though he is a Bridgestone player (using the J40 irons and the Bridgestone Tour B-330), he also has a Ping Anser hybrid, a Titleist Vokey wedge, Tour Edge Exotics CB4 3-wood and, like his driver, an old school Odyssey White Hot XG Rossie putter.

The putter that won all that money? You can find the exact model on Ebay going for about $27.

Out of 32 only 2 Were Left Standing

The 2012 Wasaga Sands Match Play Championship came down to last 2 Standing. Dan Rowbotham and Rick Zahorchak played the final round match on Thursday, September 13th.
It was a see-saw battle with each player being up at several points in the game. But in the end, the very end, after 18 holes Rick finally reigned as this year's Champ. Well done Rick and Dan..congratulations! And well done to all 32 who participated from the beginning of the competition.

Wasaga Sands Golf Men's League Results - September 13, 2012

What a great day for former Wasaga Beach Mayor Walter Borthwick! Walter not only won his Flight with a stunning 43 on the the back nine (played first) he then proceeded to have a nice 43 on the front nine. He also was closest to the Pin on #11 hole which  won him more prize coupons. On top of all that, he had the best "skins" on 4 holes on the competitive back nine for some more loot. Rumor has it that Walter is considering giving Group Golf lessons at the Sands...line up everyone! Wasaga Sands Golf Men's League Results - September 13, 2012

For results every week go to www.beachboostergolf.blogspot.com Mario Mortillaro playing #9 this morning hit his tee shot very close to the bushes on the right..but he had a shot to get himself into good position for his next shot to the green..so he took out his wedge and unfortunately his ball hit a branch in front of him. No one knew where the ball went until it was spotted dangling inside a Caterpillar Tent!!! Yes! Mario took a penalty.
