Back in 2004, TPI was one of the first centers to give mere mortals the same in-depth analysis and custom fitting that are available to tour pros. But increasingly, golf manufacturers are realizing that opening their knowledge vault to a wider audience not only makes good marketing sense (can any avid golfer visit a clubmaker and not walk away with at least one new toy?) but also allows hackers to improve their game quickly. In January, Callaway, based in Carlsbad, Calif., introduced its VIP Experience, a two-day golf immersion and pampering program featuring the experts who work with...

And put Malaysian rubber to the use that nature intended...
...deal to play their 2007 home games at Harvard Stadium, making the Cannons the first professional sports franchise in 37 years to regularly compete at the venue. The 104-year-old stadium, which was recently lined with FieldTurf and given permanent lights, has not hosted a team from the pros since the NFL’s Boston Patriots played there in 1970. If not for the recent upgrades, the drought probably would have continued, Director of Athletic Communications Charles V. Sullivan said. “I think [the upgrades] played a huge role,” Sullivan said...
