Golf Digest awarded both the Cobra S2 and ZL Drivers Hot List Gold Medals in 2010. Tom Preece, VP of Cobra Research and Development, talks about the features and benefits of these award-winning drivers.
Get a sneak peak at Cobra’s new TV commercial, featuring David Feherty and Cobra’s PGA Tour Pros. It is premiering this week on the Golf Channel and promotes Cobra’s hot new clubs for 2010. Two additional spots featuring Feherty, Camilo Villegas and Ian Poulter will debut later in April.
Just days after the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship (where he placed 3rd), Cobra ambassador and Tour Pro Camilo Villegas found himself in the Arizona desert. There, he took to the skies with Red Bull Air Race Pilot Kirby Chambliss, a ride he won’t soon forget. Note that the house they fly over is Chambliss’ and his “driveway” is the air strip from which they take off!
Camilo Villegas shot four consecutive rounds in the 60s, including a final-round 2-under 68 to win the Honda Classic by five shots for his third career PGA TOUR title. Camilo finished at 13-under 267, the lowest 72-hole score since the event moved to PGA National in 2007, and four shots better than the winning total a year ago.
Camilo didn’t even play a practice round at PGA National this week. After finishing tied for eighth at last week’s Phoenix Open, Villegas headed back to his native Colombia on Monday for a sponsor dinner, youth clinic and pre-tournament party to help open the Nationwide Tour’s Pacific Rubiales Bogota Open, the first PGA Tour-sanctioned event in South America.
Cobra Brand Ambassador Ian Poulter captured his second win with new ZL driver and the biggest victory of his career, defeating Paul Casey, 4 and 2, in an all-England final at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship. Along with winning his first World Golf Championship, the 34-year-old Poulter won for the first time on American soil. Poulter was so dominant on the weekend that he trailed for only one hole over the final 50 holes of the tournament.
Many people have an opinion about the role that technology plays in golf, and Rick wants to know David’s. He asks, “What are your thoughts on technology vs. tradition? Have you enjoyed the evolution of equipment and the power game, or do you think it was more fun when the equipment (blade irons, persimmon woods and balata golf balls, etc.) demanded more shot-making skill from players?”
Troy wonders about David’s current nationality by asking, “I was just wondering if you got your citizenship? America would be a better place if we had more like you.Take care and keep up the great work!!”
