The Bobby Grace Face Off Putter comes with two inserts that players can use to customize the feel of the putter depending upon the speed of the greens and personal preference. There’s a polymer face for a soft feel, and a titanium one for a harder feel.

Both faces offer what MacGregor golf calls Distance Corrective Technology. This is supposed to help impart the same forward energy to the ball, regardless of where on the face contact is made. That should help to make putting more consistent.

Remember, though, that changing the face of the putter in mid round violates the rules of golf.

The Golfblogger is going to be in San Diego in a couple of weeks and would love to get up a game at Torrey Pines with someone. The best day for me would be Thursday the 16th, although Friday the 17th also could be a possibility.

Anyone in San Diego want to play?

Kevin Hall, former Big Ten champion, has won the 2007 Deaf Golf Championship.

Hall currently plays on the Hooters Tour.

I had no idea that there was a US Deaf Golf Association. As longtime readers of this blog know, I have a “profound hearing loss” as a result of the 1964 rubella outbreak. And although I’ve always thought that I should get more involved in deaf issues and programs, I never have. I’ve just been too busy with other things (especially golf).

But here is a serendipitous confluence. I think I’ll get in contact with them.

A couple of months ago, Rory Sabbatini made the comment that Tiger Woods was “more beatable than ever.” Sunday, he’s going to get another crack at it. Sabbatini and Tiger are in the final pairing at the Bridgestone.

Earlier this year, they faced off in the Wachovia, where Tiger won by five strokes.

It should make for some good drama—better, unfortunately, than the Women’s British Open, where Lorena Ochoa leads by six strokes. She’s going to have to work hard to lose that one.

Here’s a story I missed from last weekend’s Canadian Open: player Jay Williamson fired his caddy, Mike Mollet, on the 15th hole of the first round in the Canadian Open.

It gets better.

The disagreement apparently started following the 14th, where Williamson flew the green. The two got into an argument, and Williamson fired Mollet on the spot. Mollet then retaliated by throwing Williamson’s balls into a nearby pond.

Left without someone to tote his bag, Williamson chose from the gallery 69-year-old Don Alexander, who, it turns out, had actually played in the Canadian Open in 1962.

Alexander beat Gary Player that year. Player was DQ’d, and Alexander finished last.

I’ve joked for years about needing to design a “snow wedge” so I can play year round in Michigan. Someone apparently has had the same thought about playing on sandy beaches.

This prototype from Oakley is mostly hollow, except for the mesh screen at back. The head is adjustable from 12 to 64 degrees so you can use it for a variety of shots.
