A week's worth of tweets, June 27-July 3, 2011
Many prominent golf companies, players and PGA instructors regularly take to Twitter to talk about their equipment and other aspects of their game. 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.
Christina Kim
@TheChristinaKim Ahhh! Ask, and you shall receive! 20 new pieces by @catwalkartwear! Can't wait to strut my stuff on the course this week!
Cobra Golf
@cobragolf Time to do work! RT @Lamos20 Thanks @cobragolf for the sweet setup. Now just need a tee time. //yfrog.com/kfw0hgaj
Anna Nordqvist
@ANordqvist These @PUMAGolf belts should do the magic next week! :) yfrog.com/h88ualhj
Vokey Wedges
@VokeyWedges With his win, Nick Watney takes over the money list and FedEx Cup lead. And Da Voke picks up his 11th victory of the year. #YearofDaVoke
Sara Dickson, PGA
@Sara_PGA @kjpga Summer 2011 RLX has some great July 4 colors. Does the Pro go Classic tomorrow or RLX? Navy & pink? yfrog.com/gzj3ohwj
Titleist on Tour

@TitleistEurope "@brad13456: the new 712 irons must be amazing! Just look at nick watney's performance at at&t!!! Can't wait till They come out" Good spot!
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
@JLeenheerPGA #golfun tip: watch your take away with long irons...it may be too inside. What's the lowest iron you carry? Mine is a 5!
