Has anybody tried any of the hybrids or other clubs that Jesse Ortiz has been allowed to manufacture using the Bobby Jones name ?

I haven’t actually seen any as of yet, nor have I watched the infomercial on The Golf Channel, so I can’t really comment and I trust the rankings in Golf Digest and Golf Magazine as far as I can throw the Brinks truck the ad dollars go into.

If you’ve actually tried one, please send us a review or comment here.

Once again, I was fortunate to find myself in Evansville, Indiana with a golfing partner and a tee time at Cambridge Golf Club.

As usual, Tony has the course in tremendous shape.

As usual, Heath’s staff was very friendly.

As usual, Mr. Wright’s clubhouse was sparkling.

From the zoysia tee’s and fairways to the big, rolling, well manicured greens, there wasn’t a bad spot on the grounds.

The water was another story, as it gobbled three of my golf balls for a nice quadruple bogey nine on the second hole.

I got my bearings after that and rolled off 5 pars and two birdies to finish the front nine.

On the back nine, the wind started to blow and the true nature of Cambridge reared it’s beautiful head.

I absolutely love playing on top of the world, in the wind and sun, with well maintained grass all around me and that’s exactly what you’ll get when you come to Cambridge.

One of the great things about Cambridge being on the north side of Evansville is that you can be at Stoll’s or The Log Inn in less than five minutes of pulling out on Highway 41.

We went to Stoll’s and had a fantastic buffet, which topped off a great round of golf, at a great facility, with great southern Indiana hospitality.

If you happen to head over to Cambridge, give me a day or two’s notice and I’ll join you. It’s my favorite place to play in the Evansville area.

Thanks to Heath and his staff for a great golf experience and to Tony and his staff for the hard work they put into making their place the place to be.
