Oliver Wilson
@Oliver_Wilson   Funny watching airport security when my Flightscope gets screened. Serious faces come on & mild panic sets in when I say it's a radar!

@Oliver_Wilson    Sorry..Flightscope is what we use to track the flight of a golf ball. It tells you all kinds of data, spin & distance etc.

@Oliver_Wilson    “@Mikezzz33: @Oliver_Wilson Will pro tour allow rangefinders during tourneys someday soon??? @” I hope not!

@HankDHaney    RT @tufty1978: is the R11 going to make a big difference to 5 handicap player? Probably will it is s great club

@HankDHaney    RT @RONDALCanada: @HankDHaney are adjustable drivers really THAT good? Yes they are

@HankDHaney    RT is "getting fitted" for a shaft as crucial for a mid-high hdcp? Or r ya pretty safe with a stock? If u want to maximize distance.

@HankDHaney    RT @newsandreports: @HankDHaney which irons do you carry? Nike cavity back

@HankDHaney    RT @mabammsia: Adams all-hybrid set? Overkill? For 10hcp who doesn't shape shots much. First iron should be 5 iron for a 10 handicap

@HankDHaney    RT @crob205: have a love affair with the original r 90 sand wedge they're getting hard to find. Plenty of wedges just as good, get over it

@HankDHaney   RT @ndsailor43: @HankDHaney Hank on driver glove or no glove. Glove for sure

@HankDHaney   RT @Weston33: @HankDHaney I think hybrids are a easy way out! Then bring out the 1 iron and really torture yourself

@HankDHaney   New clubs-putters whenever, irons every 4 years, drivers every 2 years, wedges every 1-2 years, grips every year

@HankDHaney   RT @selectaPrime: @HankDHaney hybrid or rescue? Same thing

MARCH 17
Hank Haney, PGA

@HankDHaney   Anyone that doesn't have at least 2 hybrids in their bag must think the game of golf is too easy
