TaylorMade Golf’s CTO: The Inside of Club Design

This is my second story from TaylorMade Golf. I was able to meet and interview Benoit Vincent, the Chief Technology Officer at TaylorMade. He is the man who manages the engineering team.This video shows cutout head of the new TaylorMade SuperQuad and Burner drivers. You can see the system to manage weight distribution. Vincent talks about use of aerospace engineering and casting to create modern clubs. Pretty cool stuff considering the metal wood was introduced by Gary Adams of TaylorMade at the PGA Merchandise Show in January 1979, just 18 years ago.

Spring Break in San Francisco

Brad and I had been casually asking each other, for several weeks, where our family should go for Spring Break. On the way home from our date late Saturday, April 14 we spontaneously decided to go to San Francisco. We asked Dallen’s opinion when we arrived home and, after almost having to talk him into it (only after we suggested that we would fly), booked the flights and the hotel early Sunday, April 15, while the other kids slept. On Wednesday, April 18 we started on our adventure.
