Here is a round-up of some of the most interesting golf-related Twitter entries from the week of June 27-July 3, featuring Luke Donald, Christina Kim, Rickie Fowler and more:
JULY 3
Bryan Huus, PGA
@bryanhuuspga Seems every club maker is making drivers either open or closed faced, not square. Honestly I am not sure how I feel about that.

Hank Haney, PGA
@HankDHaney No stick w what u have RT @migz7816: @HankDHaney as a beginner i currently have 52* and 56* wedge, should i also add 60*?
@HankDHaney When buying woods u have to test them out and trajectory of the ball flight is most important, it is a combination of shaft, loft and design
@HankDHaney Same stiffness but slightly heavier RT @JimboJett:do you think that driver shafts, fairway woods and rescue's should be the same
@HankDHaney Yes, too big a gap there RT @HB3azer:I carry a 52 and 60, should I throw in a 56 and take out my 3 iron? I have a hybrid I hit 220
@HankDHaney 9.0-9.5 X shaft RT @brianjonesgolf: @HankDHaney 118 clubhead speed, 2 handicap. What shaft/loft in my driver? 10.5/stiff seems to balloon.
@HankDHaney Half the ball above the club RT @dansankar: @HankDHaney Driver tee height? I hear newer drivers don't need to be teed too high
@HankDHaney Steel RT @ericwinkel: @HankDHaney good swing speed. Graphite or iron shafts?
@HankDHaney Stiff RT @madsonmark: @HankDHaney 96mph club head speed what type shaft do you recommend?
JULY 2
Kristy McPherson
@KRISTY2208 I got to hit Mr. Ben Hogan's 7 iron out of his actual set of clubs today! Most pure 5 shots I've hit n 5 yrs! I think he was on to something
Joe Leenheer, PGA
