woods were made of wood;
woods were difficult to hit;
In the woods is where you often ended up when you hit a wood!
Well, all that has changed. Look in the bag of the leading golfers on the
Senior and LPGA tours...there are lots of woods. (I know, I know...you’re not a
senior or a woman? Trust me, as long as little 5’4" Annika Sorenstam can beat
you this also applies to you.) Fairway woods especially those new 7 and 9 woods can and
should be your best friend. It’s really quite simple...more loft and greater club
head mass combine to make a club that is easier to hit further and straighter. The added
loft also produces a higher ball trajectory making it easier to hold the green (making
your next shot a putt rather than a chip). Can you say birdie?
