A week's worth of tweets, October 17-23, 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 October 17-23, featuring Tom Lehman, Nicole Hage, Bubba Watson and more:

OCTOBER 23
Todd Edwards, PGA

@andrejpro   Luke Donald wins with short putter?? ban them!!!

Aldila Golf
@AldilaGolf   Aldila captures wood, hybrid shaft manufacturer counts on PGA Tour to remain #1 //hub.am/q7Q262

Odyssey Golf
@odysseygolf   The winner of this week's PGA Tour event shot a final round 64 to win the event and the season money title with a White Hot XG #7H Putter.

John C. Rudolph, PGA
@jcrpgapro   Hybrid vs. Fairway wood (same loft). The fairway wood will produce a higher ball speed, more spin, & thus greater distance than the hybrid.

OCTOBER 22
Kirk Oguri, PGA

@KIRKOGURI   Only differences bet AP1&AP2 is CG more out on toe on AP1, and AP2 is forged carbon steel. Similar ball flight, distance. Oh, and the price

@KIRKOGURI   MB easier to draw due to CG closer to heel. Thus why I don't play a blade. I really liked the CB. Great feel, look, performance

@KIRKOGURI   @ @DSpogolf u don't compress an iron off the turf either. The ball is immediately rebounded away with the given loft of the club face

Meredith Duncan
