So what’s new?
Playing Augusta…
In the latest episode of Rough Cut, Erik Anders Lang tells a great anecdote about how he got to play at Augusta National.
Truth be told, the reason that I’m starting this newsletter is to get the press credential to play at Augusta.
Adam Young has a great article on how to spin your wedges like the pro’s.
In summary:
Good spin loft
High friction (fresh grooves, quality ball, dry fairways, perfect lies)
Crisp strikes (ball then turf)
High speed
Quality greens with ideal conditions
Certainly easier said than done.
