Power Play Caiman Golf Driver
The Amazonian Black Caiman is a large Reptile that resides in the Amazon. It looks like a Black Alligator. The very unique head design is inspired by this threatening beast, and just like the Caiman of the Amazon, the Power Play Caiman Driver eats birdies. In fact, the favorite prey of the Caiman is birdies. The Caiman has also been known to devour a par 4 in one bite. When you enter the tee box with this wild beast, please ask your golf buddies to keep a safe distance.
But seriously, Power Play’s golf designers went through alot of variations, using CAD software, before they were able to get the CG location to a location to optimize your results. “The elongated breadth, coupled with internal weighting produces an extremely stable, high moment of inertia design for exceptional raw distance and control off of the tee”. Finally they wanted looks to match the performance of this golf club. A lustrous black PVD coating was added for durability and beauty. Unleash the beast, it is HUNGRY.
This Golf Club conforms to USGA rules.

Fourteen Sticks in a Sack
Per U.S.G.A. rules you can have 14 golf clubs in your bag.You can only have 1 putter, in fact, you can only have one club set up like a putter. For instance, some people have chippers in their bag, these clubs have to be set up like an iron even though you stroke them like an iron. The rest of the clubs are up to you. Phil Mickelson, for a while, was carrying 2 drivers.
What do you have in your bag? When I got my first set about 7 years ago, I had the typical Driver, #3 and #5 Fairway Woods, 3 thru 9, Pitching Wedge and Sand Wedge iron set, and a putter. That is 13 clubs, I felt I needed 14. At that time hybrids were in their infancy and they were more like woods than irons, so I got one. I got one that was similar to a #7 wood, it was the first to go.
Then I got rid of the #5 wood. Now, when I get new clubs I only get the Driver and #3 for woods.
I got rid of my Sand Wedge and now i have a 64 degree wedge, in the sand i open the face of my pitching wedge, it works for me. And I now have a Hybrid equal to a #1 iron.
I have a putter also, that makes my set 13 clubs. There is no rule that states I have to have 14 clubs, but I will probably get another wedge.
Basically, my message in this article is this. Get the clubs you use, if you use them you need them, if you don’t use them then you don’t need them. Do not get clubs that the Pro’s use because they use them. I love to watch Tiger play. I am inspired by his playing, he carries a 5 wood and I have no intention of getting one.
If you are new to golf or have no Idea what clubs you need, then get the basic set. Driver, #3 and #5 Fairway Woods, 3 thru 9, PW, Sw Iron set, and a putter. Then if you are not hitting your long Irons, (#3 and #4) try replacing them with some hybrids. Get some wedges if your short game is strong. Experiment, Experiment, Experiment.
As you learn the ways of your clubs don’t worry about the 14-club rule. When you are out with your buddies for round just tell them you are bringing a few extra clubs to try out, as long as you are not in a tournament or league event they shouldn’t mind.
After a few months you should have the perfect set, although, it will only last a month or so before the next best thing comes along. Enjoy many years of collecting Golf Clubs.
Tiger Woods Ho Hum Start at the Memorial
Tiger Woods broke even for the first round of the Memorial. A bit boring, but for all the Tiger fans it is good to see him back at it.
It is a bit early to tell, but if he gets his groove back we might be in for some interesting golf this weekend. With Phil Mickelson and Jim Furyk in the top 10, Tiger will have his work cut out for himself.
Justin Rose is in first place at 7 under and there are 69 golfers with in 6 strokes of the lead and 3 more days of golf.
Let’s see what happens on Friday
