CASTELLON, Spain (AP) — Sergio Garcia shot a 7-under 64 Saturday to extend his lead to a commanding eight shots after the third round of the Castello Masters.
He overcame a shaky start by making a 5-foot birdie putt at the seventh hole before an eagle at the eighth. The 2008 champion made five birdies on a flawless back nine for a 19-under 194 total.
"It's well set up, but it's not over. Anybody can shoot a round like I did the last couple of days," Garcia said after completing his best back-to-back rounds after a 63 Friday.
Thongchai Jaidee shot a 66 and was his closest challenger, with first-round leader Ross McGowan (69) another stroke behind.
Defending champion Matteo Manassero of Italy shot a 71 to trail Garcia by 14 strokes.
The 31-year-old Garcia hopes his familiarity with his childhood course can help him protect his lead and end an almost three-year title drought. It would be his ninth European tour win.
"It's just a special feeling. The only other time I get this is in the U.K. when I play the Ryder Cup or the British Open," he said. "The energy of the crowd is just amazing."

British Open returns to St. Andrews
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland -- Organizers say the 2015 British Open will be held at the Old Course at St. Andrews.
The event has been staged at the famous Scottish venue, known as the "Home of Golf," every five years since 1990.
Peter Dawson, chief executive of tournament organizer Royal & Ancient, says, "St. Andrews has proved time and again that it is perfectly equipped to host The Open and I am certain we will yet again see a worthy winner lift the claret jug."
St. Andrews has hosted the British Open 28 times, most recently in 2010, when Louis Oosthuizen of South Africa won by seven shots.

Some Mizuno Irons for Good Handicapper
Excessive handicap golfers usually are beginners or people who have however too seriously refine their game, and they need more forgiving clubs of which be different from those people employed just by greater people. Mizuno manufactures several wonderful options for golfers with high handicaps.
Mizuno MP-69 irons
The MP-69 irons are designed with precision craftsmanship to maintain the standards MP players have come to expect. Mizuno incorporates a newly developed 4D Muscle design to further optimize the set, resulting in a consistent sweet spot height throughout the line that creates predictable penetrating trajectory. This 4D Technology combined with Grain Flow Forging gives players shot and ball control, and ultimate feel. Utilizing Harmonic Impact Technology (H.I.T.), Mizuno scientifically tunes the sound of each club head to further enhance the feel.
Mizuno MX 1000 Irons
This model is designed to conform to the 2010 Condition of Competition rule. The HOT METAL face is teamed with a hollow construction and internal weighting -encouraging strikes from a wide area of the face to hold their line with minimal distance loss. The hollow construction also allows weight to be engineered deep within the head for a naturally high trajectory – enabling the use of stronger lofts for even greater distance.
Mizuno MP-68 Irons
The new Mizuno MP-68 Blade moves away from the cut muscle design that the MP-67 had and resembles the MP-37 with the muscle back developing from the toe area. The muscle back lines and edges however are smoother on the MP-68 than the MP-37 and some in Japan have said it reminds them of the classic MP-14 with its curved muscle back and sharp toe. Mizuno has also followed suit with its 2009 design guidlines by placing the running bird logo on the sole and the model MP-68 with new MP logo in the toe corner.

Martin Kaymer targets second successive Dunhill title
Martin Kaymer claims the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship is the best on the European Tour as he looks to become the first player to retain the title.
The pro-am tournament is held across St Andrews’ Old Course, as well as Carnoustie and Kingsbarns.
A high-class field includes the top three players in the world in Luke Donald, Lee Westwood and Rory McIlroy.
Kaymer said: “Very rarely do you go to a tournament this excited. This feels like home to me.”
Big names Charl Schwartzel, Dustin Johnson, Darren Clarke and Graeme McDowell also feature.
World number six Kaymer has father Horst as his playing partner, with brother Philip working as his caddie.
The German said: “A lot of the players say [U.S. Masters venue] Augusta is paradise but for me St Andrews is paradise.
“It is the home of golf, it is where I feel the most comfortable. We play on three wonderful courses so it’s probably the best week of the year on the European Tour.
“I am really looking forward to it. Very rarely do you go to a tournament this excited. This feels like home to me. When I was standing on the first tee it just felt so peaceful.”
Kaymer believes Carnoustie offers the stiffest test of the three courses being used this week.
He added: “Carnoustie is definitely the toughest. You can score well at Kingsbarns and St Andrews if the weather is OK but at Carnoustie if you shoot level-par … that’s still a good score.”
South African Schwartzel, who won his first major at Augusta earlier this year, he agrees with Kaymer’s assessment of St Andrews.
“The first, 17th and 18th … if you don’t feel something when you go down those three holes there’s something wrong with you,” Schwartzel said.
“Standing on that first tee at St Andrews gives you goose bumps every single time you step up there. It’s difficult to describe for someone who has never played it.”

How about Taylormade R9 SuperMax Irons?
This is not a tradition undercut in that it has an open pocket cavity. It is in fact a hollow cavity and face filled with foam and a plug behind the sweet area of the face. These features are used to create vibration dampening and soften the feel at impact. The back cavity is pretty good looking and does feature TM's inverted cone technology.
Features of Taylormade R9 SuperMax Irons:
1. Traditional look and shape with reduced offset. Clean, simple lines appeal to more traditional tastes
2. Two-piece hollow construction and Inverted Cone Technology (ICT) in the 4- through 7-irons. The large, thin faces deliver a significant increase in COR to promote faster ball speed as well as increased MOI for maximum forgiveness
3. One-piece undercut cavity with ICT in 8-iron through SW. Expands the sweet spot and lowers CG for high, yet controllable trajectories in the shorter irons

FedExCup movers: Who's up, who's down?
This week marks the midway point to the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup. After 37 Regular season events and two Playoffs contests, the race for golf's biggest prize is still wide open.
When play resumes next week at the BMW Championship, six players will be able to unseat Deutsche Bank champion Webb Simpson for the top spot in the FedExCup standings while anyone who is competing could move inside the top five before the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola. Remember, anyone who moves into the top 5 before the TOUR travels to East Lake will control his own FedExCup destiny.
Speaking of making moves, Chez Reavie became the first player in Playoffs history to move from outside the top 70 into the top 10 at the Deutsche Bank Championship. With his playoff runner-up finish, Reavie jumped 76 spots from No. 87 to No. 9 in the latest standings.
Ernie Els , who moved 31 spots to No. 68, became just the second player to enter the Wyndham Championship outside of the Playoffs picture, but make it to the BMW Championship (Martin Laird, 2008). Els, however, is the only player to ever accomplish this feat by saving himself from the bubble (outside the cut line to start the week) back-to-back-to-back events.
William McGirt, Greg Chalmers and Graeme McDowell were all big movers up the rankings who fell short of the 70-man cutline for the BMW Championship.
Moving the other way was Kevin Na, who entered the week at No. 57 in the standings and fell 14 spots to No. 71 -- missing the BMW championship field by just 10 points. Also being eliminated last week was Harrison Frazar, the first 500-point winner of the year to be eliminated from the Playoffs. Frazar won the FedEx St. Jude Classic in early June but had just two top-30 finishes in 17 other starts this season.

Mizuno MP-63 Irons for sale
Mizuno have studied the vibrations that are produced at impact and the affect these have on the sound and feel of an iron. Today, I will talk about a new golf clubs for sale.
The mizuno mp-63 irons is the evolution of Mizuno's most popular Tour iron. The legendary Grain Flow Forging process combines with an innovative Diamond Muscle design to create the perfect blend of feel and control in a player's cavity.
To be frank, these are the best mizuno irons I have ever owned. I use to play the MP-14 and MP-60 models. The mizuno mp-63 has the best of both worlds. Small head like a blade with the diamond cavity. When struck nicely, these irons feel like butter. I will not be trading in these 63's for many years to come. Congrats to Mizuno on a super product.
The Mizuno MP-63 irons are big improvement on the rather bland MP-62 irons they replace.This time there is a real technological improvement with the Diamond Muscle design which increases the size of the sweet area about 1cm in each direction in a head that is the same size as its predecessor.
All in all, the mp-63 iron is great and I would suggest you go give am a try, you will not be disappointed.

With new TV deal, PGA Tour ensures solid footing
NORTON, MASS. -- The key elements of the nine-year contract extension between the PGA Tour and CBS and NBC for network TV rights were the length of the deal and the flexibility to expand digital products. And the crucial component the tour brought to the bargaining table was the stability of its sponsorship base through the depths of the recession. The innovative nature of the deal gives the tour and all its TV partners the opportunity to explore new forms of media together.
The deal, announced Thursday at the Deutsche Bank Championship by commissioner Tim Finchem and via conference call with CBS Sports Chairman Sean McManus and NBC Sports Group Chairman Mark Lazarus, runs through the 2021 season. The tour's 15-year deal with Golf Channel also expires after the 2021 season. Now that NBC and Golf Channel are both owned by Comcast, there will be increased cross-programming and simultaneous programming involving those two operations.
"Over the last five years, the quality of our television partners, CBS, NBC and the Golf Channel, and their performance both in the quality of the product and their performance in the marketplace has been a home run for our players, our tournaments, our sponsors and our charities," Finchem said. "So we are absolutely delighted to announce these new long-term agreements with two terrific broadcast partners in CBS and NBC, which secure our television rights for the next decade. Our partnership with all our broadcast partners will provide continuity for our fans throughout the regular season and Playoffs."
Financial terms of the deal were not revealed, but Finchem did say that the yearly revenue the tour receives will increase. CBS and NBC will retain pretty much the same programming schedule they had under the current deal -- about 20 events for CBS and 10 for NBC -- and the deal ensures that the Players, the tour's flagship event, will remain in May at TPC Sawgrass.

Titleist AP1 712 Irons vs AP2 712 Irons
Titleist has long used “700’’ numbers for irons for a long time. It uses 900 numbers for metal woods. The “7” stands for irons, while the “12” stands for the new model year, 2012. Acushnet says the feedback it receives during this validation process influences the design and specifications of the Titleist products available in golf shops around the world.
The new AP1 and AP2 irons (golf clubs for sale) deliver an industry leading combination of performance, looks and feel. They feature our most advanced multi-material designs which deliver superior distance control through increased moment-of-inertia (MOI) which also provides outstanding solid feel. In addition we have made appearance improvements to both sets.
Building upon the high technology design and resounding success of the original AP irons, Titleist AP1 712 Irons introduces the new high performance AP1 irons for avid golfers. The Titleist AP1 are multi-material, dual cavity irons that take the design mission of "Advanced Performance You Can Feel" to new heights.
The concept for the original Advanced Performance irons arose as a result of research that indicated serious golfers want performance with great feel, not performance at the expense of feel. The Titleist R&D team’s advanced research group has been conducting extensive sound and vibration analysis aimed at reducing the harsh lower frequency vibration that causes poor feel in irons.
This research led to combining several technologies and materials in the back cavity of the new AP irons resulting in a new Tuned Feel System to take feel to a new level. The new Tuned Feel System is a co-molded medallion of soft elastomer and aluminum plate. This insert has been specifically designed to improve the sound and feel of each new iron. For the thinner face, larger cavity AP1 a hotter, more lively feel has been enhanced.
The New Titleist 712 AP2 Irons are more forgiving and more disctance control.It gives the AP2 player more consistent ball speed over a larger area of the face.
The new titleist AP2 irons 712, which are designed for low handicappers,Titleist has significantly increased the club's moment of inertia (MOI) by re-positioning tungsten weight within the heads.The overall goal was to better apply the different materials used in the design.

Highly Review of Cleveland CG16 Wedge
Compared to the excellent CG15 wedge the leading edge is less rounded and the sole is wider. Cleveland say that this Cleveland CG16 Wedge is very popular on Tour, especially in the sand iron lofts.
The Cleveland CG16 wedge looks very similar to the CG14 wedge but without the insert and it is not surprising given that it comes from the same mould. However the colour insert has been replaced with a cavity back and this not only looks better but also improves stability and forgiveness on off-centre hits.
The Cleveland CG16 golf clubs for sale offers the playability and forgiveness of an iron, with the spin control of a wedge. In contrast to the Cleveland CG16 Irons that combine wedge technology into irons, the CG16 wedges now sport a cavity back design and a deeper, hollow cavity.
The cavity back design increases MOI meaning the Cleveland CG16 wedge will offer greater forgiveness, whilst the deeper cavity helps lower the centre of gravity and improves the playability of the club. This technology offers the maximum conforming dimensions within each groove whilst adding four laser-milled texture lines between each groove to increase the ball-to-club friction.
Finally, the Cleveland CG16 wedge features a wide, constant sole design aimed to offer maximum forgiveness and bunker performance while maintaining shot-making versatility.
With respect to the tour, we feel that these are good wedges for aspiring mid handicappers and those who want more forgiveness from a wedge.

Titleist AP2 710 Irons Review
I purchased a set of AP2s with ALDILA VS PROTO-T 75 graphite shafts a month ago. I used a Titleist fitter and spent a couple of mornings hitting shots - highly recommended. I also wanted to be sure that the high, straight shots were not the result of good swings on one particular day.
The new Titleist AP2 710 Irons have been created with the serious golfer in mind. With their classic blade looks, improved feel and playability for excellent shot control, these multi material, dual cavity forged irons use the latest in ground-breaking technology to give golfers the advanced performance, increased distance and exceptional feel that they are crying out for.
The feel and consistency of these clubs was superior to any of the other clubs that I evaluated: Mizuno JPX-800 Pro; Callaway RAZR X Tour and Diablo Forged; and Nike Victory Red Combo. I particularly like the feel of the clubs, with the weight more toward the head. There is reasonable forgiveness on shots struck on the heel or toe, but you do lose some distance. But the feel of well-struck shots is what makes these clubs special.
The new Titleist AP2 710 Forged Irons (golf clubs for sale) offers golfers exactly that. By conducting extensive research on sound and vibration analysis, they have managed to reduce the harsh lower frequency vibrations that causes poor feel in irons. This led them to develop and construct a forged steel iron set that combines several technologies and materials to accomplish the desired results.
I have now had a chance to play about 12 rounds with the clubs, and they continue to impress with their playability and consistency. I have dropped about 5 shots since playing these clubs and truly feel that I can accomplish my goal of dropping my handicap below 10. Impressive clubs even for an "ex"-13 handicap.
These clubs are very good. And they are not very workable, my neighbour with a 2 handicapp has thesmae problem, but other than that, they are a great set of clubs for anyone.
The new Titleist AP2 710 Irons have been created with the serious golfer in mind. With their classic blade looks, improved feel and playability for excellent shot control, these multi material, dual cavity forged irons use the latest in ground-breaking technology to give golfers the advanced performance, increased distance and exceptional feel that they are crying out for.
The feel and consistency of these clubs was superior to any of the other clubs that I evaluated: Mizuno JPX-800 Pro; Callaway RAZR X Tour and Diablo Forged; and Nike Victory Red Combo. I particularly like the feel of the clubs, with the weight more toward the head. There is reasonable forgiveness on shots struck on the heel or toe, but you do lose some distance.

Ping K15 Hybrid at golfsaleshop.com
Ping has launched a new hybrid. It's a set that is designed with traditional mid/short irons. Many golfers hit their hybrids further than their long irons which will add to the appeal of this new set of clubs. On top of this, the distance gap between each club is more optimised and distinct so each club in the iron set is utilised properly, making for a more efficient set.
The Ping K15 hybrid is designed to get the ball into the air easier with less spin for greater distance. In addition, the K15s also feature an extremely high moment of inertia (MOI) due to the large internal toe weight pad for superior forgiveness so even mis-hits travel further.
The Ping K15 hybrids look very similar to the Ping G15 hybrids, but closer inspection reveals that the heads are a little shallower and deeper front to back. The promotes a deeper centre of gravity and combined with a little more offset in the hosel, mean that they are much easier to get up in the air and therefore go a little higher than the G15 version.
The Ping K15 hybrids (golf clubs for sale) share design principles with the award winning G15 hybrid and feature a patent pending technology that exactly positions the centre of gravity relative to the hosel axis and club face. This makes it even easier for golfers to get the ball into the air while reducing the spin for even more distance. A large internal toe weight provides a high MOI that offers supreme forgiveness on miss-hits.
To be honest, I really like this style of hybrid as it looks and behaves more like an iron and therefore the 5 and 6 iron replacements are very playable indeed and it does not feel like you are launching a wood hybrid past your nose. The feel at impact is very good and the different shape of head gives a great zing sound at impact. Used either as standalone hybrids or as part of the K15 irons set then these are excellent clubs for the higher handicapper.

Titleist 910 D2 Driver's Review
Are you looking for more distance, accuracy and control off of the Tee? Then I would recommend taking a moment to learn all about the latest Titleist Driver Technologies with my Titleist 910 D2 Driver Review.
Titleist 910 Drivers deliver total performance with improvements in flight, fit, looks, feel and sound. The 460cc Titleist 910D2 driver delivers longer distance through a technologically advanced head design with a responsive, fast face insert. The patented, innovative, SureFit Tour, dual-angle hosel provides precise, independent loft and lie adjustments to fine tune ball flight for more accuracy and control. High performance weighting increases stability and creates a low and deep CG for medium/high launch with medium/low spin.
This dual-angle hosel technology enables you to optimize both the launch trajectory and the shape of your drives. There are other new models out there that offer excellent directional control by using adjustable face angle technology but none seem to offer the opportunity to effectively adjust the launch angle independently.
Otimized Weight Distribution - Titleist golf clubs for sale have also optimized weight distribution by lowering the driver's center of gravity and moving it further back in the clubhead. They have done this through thinning the crown of the cludhead by 17%, and creating a more sloped rear crown profile.
They have also included a new swing weight screw located more towards the back end of the clubhead sole. This helps to create more stability, for better direction control, as there is less clubhead twisting at the moment of impact.

The Ever Dreaded Bunker Shot
out of sand, but using the same principle as the flop shot is very effective. The main difference is that you hit the sand first, not the ball. If you were to take a divot with a practice swing (which is not permitted during play) the ball would have been in the center of that divot.
Just like the flop shot, let the club do the work and keep the arms and center moving to a follow through. If you want to get the ball up faster, hinge your wrists in the back swing.
A good rule of thumb for soft sand and good lies is to open your stance and your club face. For bad lies, wet or hard sand, square your stance and close your club face. Remember: hit the sand first and follow through keeping your arms and center moving.
Keep in mind it is against the rules to ground the club in a hazard and test the depth of the sand. You are permitted to take a fair stance, so moving your feet to get a balanced position is permissible.

Callaway Diablo forged irons with Graphite Shafts
Callaway has reached a new level of performance in a forged iron, offering avid players the chance to play with irons featuring all the benefits of a Tour-level set. These Callaway Diablo forged irons provide golfers the best distance they have ever seen in a Callaway forged iron with unprecedented feel, accuracy and forgiveness.
This club produces more distance than other forgings due to its thin, energy-efficient face, an undercut cavity that improves head stability on off-center impact, and a lower, deeper CG for penetrating trajectory. The forged steel body and welded face provide soft, responsive feedback. The face is 25-percent lighter than in the X-22 and has 23 grams more in the perimeter."
PROS: High, soft trajectory with 8- and 6-irons; just enough workability to move the ball gently left or right; distance control is a plus; good accuracy, a bit of built-in forgiveness; well-balanced iron facilitates smooth swings; clubhead momentum is beneficial in rough; combination of graphite shaft and forged head gives smooth impact feel.
CONS: Mixed findings for feel, several testers prefer more feedback than they experienced with forged head/graphite shaft combo; 3-, 6- and 8-irons were the only clubs available at the time of testing; many guys want more help with off-center hits.

Popular Callaway Legacy Forged Irons
Callaway golf clubs is a brand product. The brands we produce high quality original golf clubs,included golf driver, golf wood, golf fairway wood, golf irons, golf irons set, golf putter, golf wedge, golf hybrid, golf rescue wood. Especially the Callaway Legacy Forged Irons is one of the most popular Iron.
The Legacy design was supervised by Roger Cleveland specifically for the Japanese market featuring a easy to use head shape, slightly higher heel and semi goose neck. The target audience is the mid handicapper to lower handicapper looking for a blend of forgiveness, performance in a mid sized high tech forged cavity back.
A forged mid sized body with VAR (Vibration Absorption Rubber) in the back and a pocket cavity, the Callaway Legacy Forged irons provide wonderful forged feel and amazing forgiveness and performance. The Legacy Forged is designed with a extra forgiving leading edge and trailing edge making easier for the lady to swing and follow through any turf condition. Callaway paired the iron with super lightweight 38g Legacy graphite making it easy to swing and get the ball in the air.
The metal is sunk into a rough shape and then hammered until the desired design is complete. The manufacturer is then presented with a raw forging iron, which is a close approximation of the cheap golf clubs head desired. The carbon steel or chrome club head is then by finished by milling, grinding and drilling. The end result is a solid looking, soft metal iron that has a reduced sweet spot.
They are worth investing in. People are saying that Callaway outdid themselves with these forged irons. They maintained a somewhat classic look and they look absolutely beautiful just sitting in your golf bag. Many people say they are the best irons they have ever hit. Reviewers also say these irons have no sharp leading edge, no offset and are soft and forgiving.
