the victim
location of decapitation
closeup of the victim's head
Yesterday I went to the driving range with Peter, a close friend of mine. It's been such a long time since I've last been out golfing in any form - in fact, I don't remember the last time I went...either it has really been that long, or my memory is failing me once again (big surprise). Anywho, we both took turns with my set and tried out different clubs at varying intervals. On a whim, he picked out the driver, set up for the tee shot, and swung. Afterwards, he started laughing. I turned around and saw the shaft of the driver, but no head! Apparently it snapped off during the swing (most likely upon impact with the golf ball), and now the detached head was out around the 50 yard marker. After receiving permission, he went out and retrieved it. It was indeed a surreal moment; Peter said that after the swing, he did notice a sudden lightness in the club, which prompted him to look and discover the decapitation. Thankfully, there were no more beheadings to report, but now I find myself in the market for a driver. Hmm, wonder if anybody has any tips that can guide my selection process...

Taylor Made R580... Sweet driver. An older guy playing with us few weeks ago when I went to play with a former corworker (Eric), let me try it couple of times... I killed it both times and drove 300+ yds. Straight as an arrow and the sweet spot the size of the state of Rhode Island. Eric also broke his driver the same way couple of weeks ago and picked up R580. It's tempting me...
TaylorMade R580 Check out this link... New ones are around $200 (you might be able to find a coupon somewhere for discount...)

Used one is not so bad at $120 (Golfsmith). You can also try Second Swing. They carry lot of used clubs and you can try the clubs out in the store.
