Dashed up to Sherwood Country Club this morning before my tee-time. Got there just as the gates opened. None of the pros were out yet, but the AMs were hard at work on their over-the-top moves and flying right elbows! Waited near the driving range and got to see Tiger, DC, Michael Campbell, Geoff Ogilvy, Thomas Bjorn, Fred Funk, Freddie, David Toms, Luke Donald, Chris Dimarco, and Furyk. Most of the fellas were in a section I had no access to, but I was able to snap a few photos for your viewing pleasure !
A view from the tee of hole #10.
A look at the putting green...rolling about 12 and P-U-R-E !
A look down the 18th fairway...like hitting into your walk-in closet!
Cabbage surrounding the green and a glass tabletop from above the hole.
A look down the fairway of hole #1.
Tigers's bag.
The host...
The "infamous" 5-wood...
STOCK T-40 Tour with a standard (non-ion) Diamana 103-X.
Michael Campbell's bag...check out the grind on that 60°!
DC...personality to spare!
DC's bag.
Michael Campbell's Diamana 73-X in his FT-3 Tour.
JF with Fluff...he keeps his knees closer together than most virgins I know!
Paddy Harrington's tools.
Fred Funk testing the first of (3) R7 425s. All had the Robax with slightly different tipping.
1. You know some virgins? You might not want to broadcast that as they are in as high a demand as a Cameron 009.
2. There were some very interesting pants...Darren Clarke's plaid and Fred Funk's cargo. Is Funk inking a new clothing deal with Old Navy or American Eagle? C'mon, he just won over $900 grand in the Skins Game and he can't find a nice pair of Zanella or Zegna trousers. Maybe he forgot his pants and Target gave him some from the boys' department.
3. That range looked kinda chewed up, more like a daily fee public course.

LOL...nice zingers! The range was a bit Pamela Anderson, but that comes as a result of some very suspect member swings.
man freddy is just asking for it heading to the course in cargos. i'm all for comfort and all but he might as well just show up in sweat pants and a hawaiian shirt
Very nice pics, but next time don't photoshop out the fairways! Very good description of the 18th--I'd use a wedge and just chip it on home (if you ever need a fourth).

You are right about the fairways. My camera is 8 megapixels and the originals are just so big. I'm supposed to be putting something together with a member in a couple of weeks...kind of an early Christmas present!
is it just me or do tigers irons look to be more of a satin finish than i remember them to be. It might just be the shade or somthing they just caught my eye
Great pics... unfortunately u didnt get DL III's bag...titleist..... i love seein what he's playing. I might be Heading out to Cali in the summer....actually out to sherwood. We have an extremely close family friend who plays at another private course that way and has playing privileges at Sherwood CC....he said if i come out we can go play sherwood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a course. ill hafta study up Tiger woods golf so i know the layout.
great pic's have you seen any r7 425 or the 460 out there???
perry and clark have the 425...i believe funk may have it as well...perry was showing off the head and shaft on the range in a post-round interview..he is a great driver prob. with any club he chooses...i believe tiger has the diam 103 in his driver, 3 and 5 wood now...any confirmation to this? joe said he switched to the 103 in the driver during the grand slam...but maybe he even switched at the tourney in China or Japan

Pitch,
Tiger is playing the 103 in all 3 clubs.
any idea on how much he has tipped in each club...i have heard rumors about the driver but nothing on the 3 or 5 wood...thanks

Thank You
Super D! You are most welcome, my sea-going friend. Had a chance to try that shaft yet? I hit it in a Cleveland Launcher tour 3-wood...one word, M-O-N-E-Y!
