Rejected…Again

By Sean ⋅ May 18, 2010 ⋅ 3 comments

So, four years ago the LPGA rolled into my town and hosted the HSBC World Match play at Hamilton Farm. My wife and I attended the event as spectators and had an absolute blast. One of the most amazing moments was watching Annika Sorenstam hole out for eagle on the 9th hole of the Highlands course. At the time, The Deep Rough was just starting out, and I used the event as inspiration for one of my first posts, a review of the HSBC World Match play. Sure, the post probably was not anything special, but I do not think it did anything but paint the LPGA in a positive light.

Ecco Golf Street Premier

By Sean ⋅ April 12, 2010 ⋅ One comment

I knew Freddie Couples wore Ecco golf shoes, and while watching The Masters this past weekend, I was a little perplexed when I saw what looked to be street shoes? They looked pretty neat, but where were the classic Ecco golf shoes? Well, it seems that Ecco has come out with a new [...]

PGA Merchandise Show 2010

By Sean ⋅ January 27, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

I was hoping to make it down to Orlando or the big PGA Merchandise Show starting today, received my media credentials and all. But alas, the ‘real life’ work schedule unfortunately gets in the way. If you are unfamiliar with the PGA Merchandise Show, it is a show where companies in the golf space come to pitch their wares to PGA professionals around the country. Tons of new products are always introduced at this event and we hope to bring you some information about those releases.

We have done holiday gift guides in the past and focused on larger, more expensive golf items. This year we will touch on some of those, but will primarily focus on smaller gifts and stocking stuffers. So if you are not sure what to get that golfer in your life, hopefully we can help make that decision a little easier for you.

Review: TaylorMade Penta TP

By Sean ⋅ November 28, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

Today we are going to have a look at the new TaylorMade Penta TP golf ball. When I first received these golf balls, I was sent a promotional Pentagonal box with 5 Penta TP golf balls, all labeled with the number 5. I heard they would sell for around $45. My first thought was: dear lord, $10 a golf ball?? My ‘blonde’ moment quickly passed as I realized they would be $45 a dozen, as are most of the premium golf balls on the market. As a player of the TM TP Red LDP ball, I was excited to try this out on the course.

Review: Ping G15 Driver

By Sean ⋅ November 18, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

Another day, another PING review! So we recently had a look at the PING i15 Irons and the PING g15 hybrid. Today we are going to have a look at the big dog of the bag, the PING G15 Driver. I have seen a lot of G5 and G10 drivers in the bags of random playing partners over the years, and have been looking forward to getting my hands on a G15 driver for quite a while now. As always, we will start with a little background information and club specifications and then get on to the detailed review. Enjoy!
