The London Golf Show 2009 – Episode #6
Posted on 19. May, 2009 by Andy Brown in Golf
On the 1st May I had the pleasure of visiting the 5th London Golf Show at the Excel exhibition and conference centre in London Dockland. The Show also hosted the inaugural “London Golf Conference”. This was chaired by Ken Schofield CBE, former Executive Director of the PGA European Tour.
Within this episode of HomeofGolf.TV I talked to the following individuals and companies:

Andy,
Enjoy your emails and video.
I have become a believer in Titleist drivers, so I would probably buy the 909 D3 driver. I presently alternate between the 907 D1 9.5° and 907 D2 8.5°, and I’m very happy with them.

Andy;
I Just bought the Titleist D2 Driver about 1 month ago. I’m very happy with this driver.
I would probably buy a Scotty Cameron putter.
Keep up the good work mate.

Well the “Driver that goes long, straight, and stays in the Fairway” of course. One that ignores my erratic swing!
Jonathan Hill
20. May, 2009
Hi Andy
For me it would have to be a Diablo 3 wood and or an Odyssey putter. For now more than happy with my Callaway Fusions and Callaway Driver.
Great video and emails. Keep up the good work

Excellent videos, thanks.
paul moore
20. May, 2009
Enjoying the videos so far. I’m happy with my old set of Taylormade R540 irons and my R5xl driver, this is my first year playing golf but maybe an R9 would help lose my slice and and improve on my 28 H/cap

20. May, 2009
Money is no object so I bought the Titleist 909D composite with a V2 shaft. Awesome.

Firstly, Thanks for the video. Trick shots were great. I’d probably go with the TaylorMade R9. I currently use the R7 limited and it is awesome with Matrix Ozik shaft. Cobra S9-1 also looks like a solid driver.

Another interesting video. A short view of “Golf Expo’s” The best bits were the golf photography and the trick shots where and how do you learn them. I need a few more to get out of trouble.

The latest Taylor Burner driver, I have just recently purchased Taylor Burner woods and Irons for my wife, which she loves, she finds them very forgiving particularly as she is a slightly built mature, but fit woman.
Cheers Phil and Carole Butland, from New Zealand (birth place of many fine players, including Tiger Woods Caddy Steve Williams)
