It has always been my understanding that clubs are available by your tier class. Today I played with a pro "123rob" avg. 66.69 who on Feb 1st purchased a Master R9 8.5 degree driver and Master Ping G10 iron set. How can a Pro purchase Master Tier clubs? I never could. We were playing a stroke play group, and it really didn't matter to me, he went birdie, par, double, & triple on the 1st 4 holes and disconnected on #5. Probably not use to his new clubs. He was hitting 290 yard drives from the pro tees, having like 180 yd. irons into the green on the par 5's. I thought, here's a player that goes into tournaments as a pro tier, against other pro's, able to reach par 5's with a mid iron and have short eagle putts. Really doesn't affect me at all, just wish I could have had that advantage when I was on the pro tier. I was also wondering if he was getting his clubs through the same resource as Mickelson, Daly, & Dean. Thought I'd just throw it out there, interesting, some things just make you go, Hmmm!
