Bob,
Tour Golf in Columbus also has (and has had) a Tour Series shaft line-up
for several years. In the past, the line has been mostly sheet wrapped shafts,
but last year they changed over to an all-filament wound line. I really liked
several of the previous sheet-wrapped shafts. Most of th

Yeah, Tom. Blah...blah...blah. CBS is just as bad as ESPN. The Braves color
announcer when they are on Fox is just as bad, too. It's gettin' hard to watch
any sports on TV anymore...only watch the Braves when Sutton, Skip or Chip
