G'day GolfZoners,
Father's day is almost here. It is the time of year when you start thinking about getting out for a round or two in your shorts rather than your wet weather gear. It is also the time when you receive that pack of underwear when you were wishing for the latest Callaway or swing gadget. Maybe next year.
The majors are over for another year and last weekends climax certainly had plenty of drama. Next will be "will he or won't he be picked?" as Corey Pavin decides to include Tiger in his team for the Ryder cup.
Get out and have a hit this weekend and remember there are plenty of gifts for Fathers in our online store, golfzone.com.au
