  wow more revenue.Dose this mean the we have to add more then 10 yrd's extra to the shot just to reach a green? Or dose the ball bend more then a boomarang to hit out of bounds more often like a real wilson staff dose ?????.

  Mind you cant fault the camaflage it'l be hidden with the green breaks how ironic

  Probably next week with the end of month updates . I wonder if there will be new clubs coming to the proshop as well . Since Wilson does have a full line of golf products may just be something new and as usual for the lower tier players to scramble over .

  At least say it properly if you want some credibility.  LOL

  Jim,

  In the UK, the original wording is correct. Just another example of two nations divided by a common language.

  That's funny!

  Perhaps they can release a range of these too, for that feeling of total abandonment:

  I beg to differ. Are, in the context it was used, refers to a single entity-WGT. It also infers multiple subjects. There's only one subject-WGT. "WGT and TopGolf" or using "is" instead would make it proper. 

  
  The gist of the comment was to point out that I don't believe Paul.  LOL  ;-)

  Back in the day when I couldn't afford balls, I'd buy Wilson Staff balls.

  Gotcha, but that is how it's said in the UK. Where Americans might say, "Jaguar is returning to LeMans," over there it's "Jaguar are..."

  I know this because when I toiled at AutoWeek, we had a British editor for awhile. He drove the copy editor nuts.
