Golfer Ishikawa said Tuesday in Houston, he would donate all the prize money for relief on March 11 earthquake and tsunami victims. In addition, Ishikawa also said that every time he caught a birdie in the game, he will donate 10,000 yen.
Ishikawa turned professional at age 16 in 2008. Over the past three seasons, Ishikawa earned more than one billion yen. Wow, with that money, he sure can buy many PING G15 Drivers.
Last year, Ishikawa ranked third on Japan Golf Tour prize money list, the prize money is 1.51 billion yen. He caught a total of 341 birdies, and no doubt he is the birdie king of Japan Tour. I just wonder what irons does he use ? Are Callaway Diablo Edge Irons in his golf bag?
"This year I have set myself a goal, the total prize money to break the 200 million yen." Ishikawa said, "I know that recovery takes a long time. I am willing to holding hands with the victims, to work together. " I heard TM told him that with TaylorMade Burner 2.0 Irons, he can achieve that goal faster and better.
After consulting his father, the nine time tour winner launched the charity event. After the U.S. Masters, Ishikawa will be going home and begin the new season of Japan Tour.More tips If you ever compete in match play events, you need to know how to approach them in order to get good results. If you think match play is the same as stroke play in golf, then read on -- because I'm going to tell you what you need to do in order to succeed.
Match play pits one golfer (or one team) against another. Unlike in stroke play, in which total score counts, the golfers compete for each hole.Whoever shoots the lowest score on a hole wins the hole. If the two golfers (or teams) finish with identical scores, the hole is "halved." Whoever wins the most holes wins the match. If the players (or teams) finish with the same score, the match is halved. Match play does not usually affect your golf handicap. These are the basics.
This head-to-head confrontation, as golf instruction manuals tell you, radically changes how you play the game. Some golf tips urge you to be more aggressive in match play than in stroke play. Other golf tips urge you to play your normal game. What determines how you play is where you stand on the hole, where your opponent stands on the hole, and where the two of you stand in the match.
Most golf instruction will tell you that match play is a balancing act. You're always weighing the need to put pressure on your opponent against the need to win the hole. The player who plays the best under pressure, regardless of where his golf handicap is, usually wins the match. Handling the pressure is not something golf lessons prepares you for. It's something you need to experience yourself.

I purchased these to have something more forgiving since I was playing Ping I3 blades. Since I don't play as often I decided to buy something that would dampen mishit. I have a personal driving range and I found that my swing fault followed me, go figure :) Anyway, my 1st round was a disaster, but it wasn't the clubs. After the disaster I practiced all week with them, along with a major revision in my setup and shot 73 in my second round with them. So, they were redeemed. One thing I've noticed is that the offset is hidden well in the design of the club. I have never cared for offset, but it's almost invisible in this club. They feel really good in my hands and the thicker sole from the Ping's now seem normal.
