There was some great scoring on the first day of the 2007 Australian PGA Championship at Coolum lead by Aussie Michael Sim at -7. It's good to see a lot of big names have made a good start including Peter Lonard, Adam Scott and Rory Sabbatini.

Recently Titleist launched a couple equipment related blogs which make for a very interesting read. The Tour blog covers the day to day activities of the tour van such as custom fittings for touring pros. For example Titleist's resident wedge guru Bob Vokey has posted on the various wedge grinds requested by players for varying conditions, such as the current Masters champion Zach Johnson.

The latest posting shows Aussie golfers Stephen Leaney and Michael Sim during a practice round while preparing for a recent tournament on the PGA Tour.

The second blog is by putter guru Scotty Cameron. Scotty covers more than just putters for the pros. There is quite a large community of putter enthusiasts and collectors of Scotty Cameron putters. Scotty blogs about this community and talks about some of his other areas of interest such as his art

Of course Titleist aren't the first golf equipment manufacturer to dip their toe into the blogging world. TaylorMade started a similar tour van blog at least a year ago. However it seems to be down. Does anyone know what happened? Actually it looks like their main site is down at the moment too.
