rob445545 Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Im sending over a bunch of nice PIX to Chris... he is gonna post them and ill write some info up when they get posted. Until the PIX come, here is a little info .... Lots of R7's in play... almost every TM Staffer Had one and alot of non TM Staffers Had one. Vijay wasnt using an MOI Putter... he was using a Belly Scotty Cameron that looked like a Newport Style Head.. it had the Stainless Headcover. I wasnt sure what driver he had.. one had a TP Headcover and the other had the Cleveland Headcover. The Course looked VERY hard.... very tight fairways and the greens were really firm. The players were having trouble stopping approach shots and on many holes the balls were rolling back 20 ft off the front of greens after they had stoppped moving for a second. Ill write descriptions of each of the pix when they come up .... Izawa's Caddy Tanaka and his TM Bag ... he had a sweet Vokey Proto Stamped HIDE on it that is in the middle of the pix but i couldnt get a close up with the cam. Izawa, Tanaka and Maruyama were playing together Maru's Bag Izawa Tanaka's Bag Jonathan Kaye was really out of it... him and his playing parter hit a couple balls in the complete wrong direction on this hole because they had no idea which way the hole went. Tanaka Maru Putting Green New r7 Bags Kenny Perry on range in the middle wearing red. Srixon reps to his right wearing red. Practice Green Singh's Group with Perniece and two other guys. Vijay was spraying it on the 3 holes i saw. TM Reps's brining r7 bags to the players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forgedCBuser Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 well, rain is predicted for 3 of the 4 days... that should slow down the greens some. but should also make the course play longer and the rough gnarlier!!! :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 A few observations I had from the pics: -Maru using the X-Drive 2 350cc -The Taylormade R7 TP has a bigger better headcover -Many TM players have multiple drivers in the Bag -I cant get a tee time there this weekend for some reason :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It said Tour AD on it i think. ALOT of Pro's had multiple TM Drivers in the bags, most had a TP and r7 ... some had 2 r7's. I was really surprised to see VJ had a new putter in the bag. If you have any questions on the PIX or on other stuff that i might have seen, ask away. Thanks for hosting the pix Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that guy too, but i didnt recognize him at all. He was stroking his putts good though. Anyone have any questions about the pix or other things i might of seen?
