What's in Yang's bag?

They have been making big waves in the Japanese golf market in soft goods for the better part of 3 years now. Japanese "styled" bags, shoes, gloves, shirts, etc. The material on the shirts and bags are excellent. Like all things "in style" in Japan though be prepared for sticker shock.

Most famous for years as tennis wear. McEnroe before Nike used to wear it.. Was a french manufacturer but who knows now.

McEnroe wore Sergio Tacchini prior to his Nike Deal. Le Coq's best know tennis endorser was Yannick Noah.

You are right, I just threw out some Sergio Tacchini McEnroe stuff the other day.. Forgot what Connors wore.. I think Borg wore Fila..

Can't see what the attraction is to have a giant red chicken on your shoulder..

He deserved that win. There is so much more to that win than just beating Tiger. He beat Tiger, and the rude galleries that move around and scream "Get in the Hole". ( God I hate them ) And how uncomfortable was that trophy presentation? They all had their Tiger speech ready didn't they? [/quote]

How about that twit CBS announcer making a comment about his poor english so we will talk through an interpreter. Bet Y.E. Yang's english is better than that idiot's Korean..

[/quote]

What makes him an idiot? He was correct!
[/quote]

IT's beacuse it sounded classless... YE Yang should've told the interpreter to tell Mcafee his korean sucked!!!

[JD3]

yeah, is McAfee trying to rekindle that failed LPGA strategy of disqualifying someone for not speaking English? LOL maybe he was so disappointed TW lost he was trying a last ditch attempt to DQ Yang. LOL

 

well good luck trying Mc, if thats your agenda. the rest of us will continue to speak the universal language of champions:

According to a golf channel article he only carries 12 clubs.

Same as having a small alligator on your chest or a huge logo of guy on a horse on your right sleeve I guess.

[bovi]

golf.com has him playing PW, 48 deg and a 58 deg? thats a huge gap, is this likely?

I agree.

 

Golf will be in Olympic, those people need to get ready to hear more foreign language from now on.

I just read his interview with reporter

He carries 3 wedges PW, 52 and 58

He said he used 52 on 14th hole to roll the ball rather than pitching it.
He prefers to shorten the grip and "feel the head" to hit better shot according to his interview


Also he carries, Driver, 3W, 5W, 19h and 21h then starting 5i.

He said long irons have been difficult clubs to hit so he started this set up and happy with it.

Does his 2-ball have an alignment line on the first "ball" but not the second one?

[Langlands]

Paddy Power in the UK paid out on Woods after 36 holes - that cost them £1.3M!!!!!!!!!!

Here's the new style that's supposed to be less twisty:

It's less twisty but skinny like a lady grip.

[JD3]

here's Yang's approach to #18. you can clearly hear Faldo saying "got to get over the trees" well past the point the ball's over the trees, and then Feherty chimes in "did he over hook it?" which doesn't make sense either since the ball's reaction on the green shows he faded it

Nobody posted about him using 58* Nike SV wedge.. Did he use the Nike wedge to chip into the hole in the final round?

Well, I guess golf is an international language that everyone can understand.... Didn't mean to get that deep, but my message should be clear enough!

+1 It's ridiculous these days how bad political correctness is! Also, whether Y.E. can't speak English or not should not be a concern; his performance at the PGA should validate his career enough, not his English!
