Golf Australia Magazine club reviews

[Grunt]

Hi

As some of you may know I am now part of the Golf Australia Magazine review team. My first review has just come out, the Nike Sumo2 Hybrids, this week in the June issue.
Was a great club and really liked them, bit pricey if you were to pay retail though, $249 a club.

Next review to go in print are the Callaway i-brid irons.

Tried to get a plug for OzGolf on the day, I wore an Ozgolf Shirt, but the pics so far are only a mug shot (rough one too) in this months review. They normally put more shots in the full set reviews so there may be one in next months magazine.

Had to take hat off for the photos (was not an Ozgolf one, should have been though), Manufactuers dont want any other advertising.

I haven't read a golf magazine in ages, but I think they get a low marker, a mid marker and a hacker to review each club?

Grunt, I think that most of us here wouldnt be that interested in the reviews (anything outside of Bombsquad golf ain't worth reading), but we sure as hell wanna know how the heck you scored this gig [cos we are jealous as hell]

Did the editor happen across Ozgolf and was impressed with your literary style? I find it hard to imagine he could have overlooked DC68 if that was the case.

[Grunt]

I got the gig by simply replying to an article by email. Have been told I wil get a good run of reveiws as I am in the right handicap zone for the majority of equipment.

Smails did a some club reviews for GA a few years ago.

Grunt, is it a paid gig ? Any freebies ?

[Grunt]

Just free rounds of golf with new gear, the last time I was told to bring my putter, wedges & Driver. I have been told the majority will be at St Mick's as GA is a corporate member there.

Oh yeah? Well **** you Blake you *********** ****!!!!!

[Toolish]

Grunt...did what you thought and what the magazine said you thought correlate very well?

[Bruce]

Did you give everything more than 90%?

It seems to me they only score between 89% (for the truly loathesome) to 99%.

That explains why it is only available over the counter in plain brown wrapping

dc68, you should change your username to ****-bomb!

Was pretty much the same,

No actual scores just comments, around 30 min interview after the round.

New Review in this months Golf Australia.

Callaway I-brid irons this time. Was done the same day as the Nike Sumos. Not a bad set but the price was quite expensive. My review never made the website version though

Even got a full page of Grunt in fullswing. Not sure if I can post a copy of the pic due to copyright so I wont. Don't want to get clicchic into trouble.

[Grunt]

Got another test gig, next Wednesday @ St Mick's. Wonder what it is this time.

[Grunt]

Just found out the equipment to be reviewed, TM Burner Irons.

Practice your follow-through position for the next photo op, the last one looked like a yoga position

[andylo]

pfft... TM craps

[Jarro]

pfft... TM craps

Says he with the R9 driver

And it's crap mate, not craps

I will get the pose right for you Jarro. I reckon one like the pic Tezza took at Pac Dunes would be great, both feet in the air . That would raise some eyebrows if it makes the Magazine.

[Jarro]

That's the ticket

[Sydney Hacker]

Rock up and tell them that you have now switched to left handed and will that present any problems ?

Phew. I thought we were about to see TM branding in casino's.
