Description
To open the show during Mike's Course - Mike & Billy discuss the local 2009 Straight Down Fall Classic Golf Tournament held in San Luis Obispo County at the San Luis Obispo Country Club. Mike & Billy also announce their NEW GTR Partner - Adams Golf - www.adamsgolf.com. Utopia Golf Products is a young company headquartered in the tiny Texas town of Utopia (population: 300). The company's coming-out party took place at the PGA Fall Expo in early September in Las Vegas, where its uniquely designed putters garnered a "Best New Product" award.Utopia's first putters to market are the TXR I and TXR II. All putters are designed, milled, hand-assembled, painted and polished in tiny Utopia, and with company founders and designers Scott Saunders and Michael Hillis checking them out.The company describes the TXR 1 as a "cavity-back blade" and the TXR II as a "heel-shafted cavity-back mallet."So what's unique about the design? That ridge you can see in the photo above of the TXR 1. That ridge - a raised, thin leading edge - is what strikes the ball, and the ridge is positioned to strike the ball just above the ball's equator. The intent is provide the ball with immediate forward roll, rather than the backspin that most traditional putters (which have a few degrees of loft) start the ball with. An immediate forward roll, the company says, eliminates skipping and skidding, helping the ball stay online.The company is working on getting its putters into on- and off-course pro shops and sporting goods retailers. If they are not yet available where you live, the putters can be ordered (and more information found) on the company Web site, utopiagolfproducts.com.www.utopiagolfproducts.comAvila Beach Golf Resort - www.avilabeachresort.com Blacklake Golf Resort - www.blacklake.comInn at Avila Beach - www.avilabeachca.comAvila LaFonda Hotel - www.avilalafondahotel.comGolfland Warehouse - www.golflandwarehouse.comSlickstix - www.slickstix.comFor more information on Golf Talk Radio with Mike & Billy visit www.golftalkradio.com and visit www.centralcoasttoday.com for Golf Talk TV with Mike & Billy.
