Fearless Golf Predictions From SirShanksAlot
Since there is nothing going on right now, I thought I would make some predictions for 2005…..
Slow Season
There is nothing going on in the golf business right now. Have no fear though… there is still something for you to read! Check out the review of the Cleveland Launcher Titanium Fairway and SirPuttsAlot’s new Rant about his visit to the Ping testing facility.
More Nike Buying Callaway Rumors
The “Nike buying Callaway Golf” rumors are heating up again. SirPuttsAlot was able to play a round with a Nike Golf staffer on his trip and this player seemed to think the purchase was inevitable. I really hope this doesn’t happen but I just have a gut feeling it will.
Bridgestone Golf Gaining Momentum
I’m all moved in now so you can expect daily updates again. Thanks for your patience last week. And now….. from the new SIRSHANKSALOT World Headquarters…. actually it’s just my condo…. the headlines for today.
Maxfli Back In Clubs?
I’m back! Well sorta. My move is complete but I won’t have internet for a few more days so it might still be a bit slow for a while longer. Just a few quick things today….
Phil Mickelsons Prototype Odyssey
Just a few odds and ends today. Someone asked me about Phil Mickelson’s new prototype putter. My source tells me that it is an Odyssey prototype that is designed after the Wilson 8802. As far as I know the putter does not have any sort of insert and it is being called a “PM Prototype”. The addition of a putter gives Phil a full Callaway bag.
TaylorMade R7 Quad HT
Ok…. love him or hate him… you have to take your hats off to Phil Mickelson after he shot a 59 today. I wonder if that will show up in a Callaway ad soon? My guess is yes… and then yes again…. and again.
Who Will Get Paul Casey?

News From Callaway Golf
Again not too much to write about… go figure… it’s November. I had a nice chat with my Callaway source today and got some interesting bits of news.
