After a 10-year drought, golfer Corey Pavin finally barged into the winner's circle again on the Professional Golfers Association (PGA) by winning the 2005 U.S. Bank Championship in July 2006. The victory snapped a losing strea of 242 consecutive tournaments wihout a win.
It was Pavin's 15th PGA victory -- and he did it in grand style.

The previous record was 27 strokes and was held jointly by Mike Souchak, Andy North, Billy Mayfair and Robert Gamez.

Overall, Pavin averaged just 26.5 points per round en route to a final round score of 20-under-par 260. - Golf Equipment
Every game of golf is based on playing a number of holes in a given order. More particularly, golf is a sport where individuals or teams hit a ball into a hole using various clubs. Golf is one of the few games where no fixed standard playing area is necessary, but it is defined by a certain number of rules and it does need some particular equipment to be properly played if one dreams to going low, shooting that perfect score.
There are a mind-blowing number of choices of equipment used for golf at the disposal of today's players. This indeed makes it much harder for golfers-especially amateurs-to know which products will best fit their individual games' needs. The fact of the matter is that playing with equipment that do not fit a golfer's particular needs and experience can produce more harm than good, both in terms of scoring and enjoyment. Thus, collecting as much information as possible and learning the basics apart from any new technological developments on the golf equipments used today, becomes a must; both for golfers to make well-informed buying decisions and to get the most out of their games.
