Although it signed the fastest lap of the day, an honor that went to Santi Luna (66), none of the head played better than him, measuring the risk on every shot, which helped to cover the three hits he had with handicap Swedish and South African Kingston, who was unable to make a birdie all day.

“It leaves a bad taste in my mouth the bogey on 18,” said Gonzalo, the one day inevitable error which prevented him from reaching the summit alone. His failure to putt left open the tournament with 10 players separated by four strokes. Even Fernandez-Castano of options granted to one circulating on par.

Thus, Australian Robert Allenby had to settle for second place finish with 273 strokes, one more than South Africa, while English Lee Westwood, the leader the previous two days, fell to fourth place to sign up 74 impacts, two above.

Tiger Woods, in the three previous days was not particularly fine in his game, finally had to retire after playing six holes to have pain in the neck so that she could beat with ease, so he decided to leave the tournament to avoid additional injury.

Who fell into the depths of the classification was Spanish Sergio Garcia, who lived his particular ordeal by adding 78 hits, six over par. Two double bogey (2 and 18), three bogey (4, 5 and and only two birdies (8 and 12) took him in free fall until the forty-seventh place with a total of 268 impacts.

Yet unknown causes of death of one of the most promising players in American golf, which in 2008 won $ 133,000 in prizes.

“We are devastated by the death of Erica Blasberg. Erica was known as a professional golfer, but more than that. He was a loving daughter and a loyal friend.” Erica had a good heart, was extremely friendly and very grateful for everything I had of life, “wrote his agent., after his death to make official.

The world number one said he would be subject to checks this week to determine the extent of the problem. “There is much still pending, so I do not like it,” Woods said in a press conference in Pennsylvania.

“It started bothering me two weeks before the Masters and was intermittent and now I’m at a point where I can not take it anymore”

The American said he felt pain in the neck since he returned from his break from the sport in the Masters last month, but added that was not related to the car accident occurred outside his home last year that led to revelations about his infidelities.

“Zero Connection. Absolutely zero,” said Woods. “My neck started to bother me when I really started to practice a lot,” he said.

Woods finished tied for fourth place after returning from his absence of five months in the Masters but has struggled since then, unable to make the cut in the tournament at Quail Hollow in North Carolina before retiring during the final round on Sunday at Sawgrass.

“I’m starting to undergo some more treatment. I will have a magnetic resonance scanner (neck) to see exactly what is happening, why it is behaving the way it is behaving” he said.

Their plans
Woods said he planned to participate in the Memorial Tournament in Ohio in June, an event he won last year, and then go to Pebble Beach for U.S. Open but now his plans depended on test results.

“In fact began to bother me two weeks before the Masters and was intermittent. I was just a pain and nothing important,” he said. “But while I was playing, still practicing, never improved. Indeed was declining and now I’m at a point where I can not anymore,” he said.

Dejectedly, goes to his bag. But wait!. The hope is near, right in the pocket of one of his companions. The wood is 7!. It borrows it, he agrees. Place the ball, sure there’s nothing worse will happen to what would happen if I used his 3-iron. And strike!. Two boats and a little good career, and the ball is in the green!.
If you’re among the majority of players will struggle to hit longer irons (2-4). Fortunately, we have the alternative of fairway woods, which are much easier clubs to use. Furthermore, their characteristics will help us out of the tall grass.

What makes these clubs are better?

There are several factors that cause the fairway woods are easier to use than long irons. For players who are getting started, the center of gravity of the head is lower and more delayed due to the shape of the head. This helps to pass the stick under the ball.
Some have “rails” on the sole to help to slide through the grass. Although the angle of its sides is similar to those of long irons, their rods are longer. This increases the speed of the swing and as a result, the ball rises more easily.

Another reason why the fairway woods are capturing the attention of golfers is because manufacturers are dropping the lofts of long irons, making them harder to play. Why are they doing this?. Because they are looking for to say that your clubs, go even further. Of course, to offset the decline of the loft and has not suddenly jump distance, the shorter irons, they have also had a decrease in its loft.
Finally, the fairway woods have a larger head increases the confidence of the player. The sweet spot of a fairway wood is larger, providing more room for error. In a long iron, or give a good blow or not go anywhere.

Should I switch to fairway woods?

If you must change over fairway wood depends on your game. If the long irons will cause problems, it seems logical to switch to an easier hit with a stick more permissive. For all admitted that the long irons are hard to hit, by therefore not correct to say that fairway woods are for the worse or weaker players.
If you usually use the 3-wood or driver not to take a long iron should try with the fairway woods.

Iron Bats

In this teaching unit will explore what types of irons are according to their measure.

The irons

1.Hierro 1-180 meters: also known as a driving iron. It is a very difficult club to manage and, alternatively, iron manufacturers offer hybrids, which combine features of iron and wood.

2.Hierro 2-170 meters: a stick is also unusual in the bags of golfers, it is equivalent to a 5 wood, but more difficult to use.

3.Hierro 3-160 meters: when buying a full set of irons, 3 is the longest club in September. It is a practice should stick to control it. Many players held him out of thinking that the coup will fail and, of course, I fail. But the 3-iron is easier for the driver.

4.Hierro 4-150 meters: is another of the long irons.

5.Hierro 5-140 meters: is a medium to long iron. Players usually begin to feel comfortable with from it iron stick.

6.Hierro 6-130 meters: a medium iron.

7.Hierro 7-120 meters: it is also a medium iron. It is the easiest club in the bag and that is why lusa to start learning the swing.

8.Hierro 8-110 meters: it is a short iron. His stroke will cause the ball flying high and once you get rolling down slightly.

9.Hierro 900-100 meters: 9, as 8, is also a short iron.

Manufacture of irons

The heads of the irons can be manufactured by two processes: injection and forging.
The injection is quite simple and consists of filling a mold with molten metal that produces a head of a club. Forging, on the other hand, involves taking a piece of malleable steel and subjected to a series of steps by which takes the form of a combination of prints and manual operations. Forging is a much more laborious than the injection, so wrought iron are more expensive than most injected models.
The forge was the only way to head to early 70s. Injection technology and cost reduction did not occur until the mid-seventies.

Why maintaining the mystique of wrought iron?.

Being handmade sticks lends an aura of “uniqueness” to each head. The fact that the heads are made of steel forged softer leads some players to believe they can hit the ball better feel. (The tests have shown that it is not). A good player will be able to “work” the ball as a head forged or injected. As forged irons have a less shiny finish is such that they perceived as an expensive product. Many tour players have used until recently forged irons which has allowed its expansion and its mysticism. And because they are more expensive they are perceived as a better product!. In fact, a ball hit with a wrought iron or injected produce identical results.
