What's in Ryan Moore's golf bag?

Golf Course Directory is going to do something a little different every once in a while. We have decided to start profiling some of the famous golfers that play on the golf courses we review. In this article we are going to discuss one of the hot upcoming players, Ryan Moore. Ryan Moore has recently won his first PGA tournament and is one of the few professional golfers that doesn’t have a club endorsement.

It’s not like Ryan can get one of the best golf clubs manufacturer to sponsor him, its that he prefers to switch clubs as he wishes without having to worry about a contract. Here are the current golf clubs played by Ryan Moore.

Driver: Adams 9032LS 8.5 degrees
Fairway Wood: Adams 9032 14.5 degrees
Hybrids: Adams Idea Pro Gold 18 and 22 degrees
Irons: Ping S59 3-PW
SW: Ping MB 54 Degree
LW: Titleist Vokey 60 degree
Golf Balls: Callaway Tour i golf balls

As you can see Ryan likes Adams for his woods and mostly Ping golf clubs for his irons. Just like all the Titleist golf clubs, the Titleist Vokey is one of the best golf wedges.

La Quinta Golf Club

Best Golf Equipment Reviews recently took another trip to Palm Springs and had the opportunity to play some of the best golf courses in Palm Springs. The first round we played at was SilverRock. SilverRock is a great golf course and very challenging. Since we have already done a SilverRock golf course review, we are going to concentrate on the other Palm Springs golf course that we played, La Quinta Golf Club.

The Golf Club at La Quinta use to be known as Trilogy Golf Club at La Quinta. Nothing has changed with the golf course just the owners! The Golf Club at La Quinta was the host of the Skins game for a few years in the early 2000's. It is located at the base of the Santa Rosa Mountains in La Quinta, California, and is a daily fee 18-hole championship golf course designed by golf course architect Gary Panks. There are five sets of tees with the back tees measuring 6,883 yards with a 72.7 rating and 127 slope. It is a par 72.

Best Golf Equipment Reviews loved The Golf Club at La Quinta. During this golf vacation Best Golf Equipment Reviews tried out a new TaylorMade R9 with a special graphite shaft. We hit it good but what was the key to the round was how accurate we were hitting the Callaway X22 irons.

Callaway X22 irons

Best Golf Equipment Reviews has been getting a lot of requests for the Golf Course Directory blog to start reviewing some of the best golf equipment. We have taken that into consideration and are now going to start posting some golf club reviews every few posts. So here is the first golf club review on the Golf Course Directory blog!

Best Golf Equipment Reviews has recently purchased a set of the Callaway X22 irons. We have played Callaway golf clubs for about 7 years when we decided to switch over from the TaylorMade golf clubs. We had no complaints about the TaylorMade golf clubs and still love the TaylorMade R9 driver....we got a free set of Callaway X16 irons and couldn't pass them up!

The Callaway X22 irons look similar to the other X series irons with some modifications to make them better. One of the major changes is the VFT. That means variable face thickness. VLF lowers the center of gravity allowing for a better ball trajectory. The Callaway X22 irons still have the bore thru hosel, very clean top line, and available in both men's and woman's.

The Callaway X22 irons are available at all major golf club stores. We purchased our set at a local Golf Mart for about $699.00 in a steel shaft. Graphite shafts are available for about $200 more. If you are in the market for some new golf irons and are looking for the best golf irons, you have to try out the Callaway X22 irons.

Palm Spring Golf Courses

Hey fellow golfers, let me first start off by saying that I'm saying for the time it has taken me to post this blog. I have been very busy at work. I recently had to go to a class on the Glock guns and found it very interesting. Enough of my police gear talk! This is a golf equipment and golf course site!

So two weeks ago, I took the family down to Palm Springs for a little R&R! It was so much fun. We absolutely love it down there. We stayed at the JW Marriot in Desert Hot Springs. The JW Marriott has two golf courses, Palm and Valley. Both of the courses are very nice for being resort courses. They are forgiving, yet challenging. When we played them they were in good shape considering it was the summer time. What was even nicer is that during twilight, juniors get to golf for free! Can't beat that. Definitely check out the JW Marriot that next time you are in Palm Springs and want to hit your Callaway X22 irons in the sun!

We also played a round at Desert Willow. As we have profiled before here, Desert Willow is a great golf course. It was in excellent condition and is always a challenge. During the summer the prices weren't too bad. I paid $40 at 1 pm and my son was only charged $20 because he is a junior. I think the morning fees are still only around $50 or $60 so still not to bad.

Anyways, till next time....hit em straight and long! Oh yeah, I am cause I got a new shaft in my Callaway FT-IQ driver!

Badlands Golf Course

This is an update from Best Golf Equipment Reviews last article on Las Vegas golf courses. In that article we profiled the Badlands golf course. On our recent trip to Las Vegas this week, we had the opportunity to play Badlands golf course.

To start with, Best Golf Equipment Reviews should give you some history on our threesome. I am a 3 handicap player, and the other two players play under 6 times a year! So we had the extremes! In fact, I had to bring one of the other players some golf clubs to play with! I hooked him up with a set of Callaway 22 irons and a TaylorMade R9 driver.

Badlands golf course is a great golf course for all types of players. It had some amazing views and challenging holes. We played the championship 18 which is the tougher 18 holes out of the 27 holes. This is a typical desert golf course but also a links style. So if you mess the fairway you are in the dessert terrain or worst off down in a ravine!

The greens were very good and held my Callaway golf balls excellent. They rolled pure and weren’t overly difficult. The fairways were in excellent condition and made hitting my friend’s Ping irons off of them easy. Although he wasn’t on the fairway that often!

Don’t expect to carry your Ping bags on this course. Carts are mandatory and a true necessity.

Best Golf Equipment Reviews highly recommends the Badlands golf course.

Golf Course Directory....1'st post welcome!

Welcome to the best Golf Course Directory! This is my first post and I’m excited to start posting some of my favorite golf courses and hear about your favorites. A little bit about me first. I have been playing golf for about 17 years and am down to a scratch golfer. I currently play what I think are the best golf clubs, Callaway golf clubs! I used to play TaylorMade golf clubs when I worked in the pro shop at a local golf course, but switched about three years ago.

As I mentioned above, I used to work in the pro shop of a local golf course. I did that for about six years and then went to work for one of the biggest golf equipment stores for another two years. Working at that store really allowed me to learn a lot about golf equipment. Prior to all this, I worked at another golf course mowing greens. That was fun except for waking up at 3 am!

So why did I choose to do this golf course directory? To start with, I have played hundreds of golf courses ranging from San Diego golf courses, Las Vegas golf courses, Hilton Head golf courses, Hawaii golf courses, and many more. All too often, I would go play in a tournament and show up a day or two early to hit the local links only to find they were horrible! This golf course directory is designed to point out the good and bad golf courses so that you don’t waste your hard earn money.

In addition to this site, I have started a golf equipment reviews website. I love researching golf equipment so why not put my hard work down on paper for other people to benefit from.

Thanks for checking my blog out and check back often!
