Cutters are an American company that have made their name and built their reputation by producing top quality professional gloves for baseball and American Football.

Now they have used their expertise and quality designs to create a range of golf gloves.

The gloves are made from a combination of re-engineered ultra thin C-TACK^TM performance grip material and premium Grade A Cabretta leather which gives the glove a very soft, comfortable feel with an exceptionally strong grip.

The C-TACK^TM grip is placed on the thumb and three finger tips, as well as to the side of the palm to allow for perfect slip-free grip for all types of golf swing. Getting used to the glove I realised how this helped me hold the club with less muscle tension.

This is a great improvement for someone relatively new to the game like myself, though would be as useful to a seasoned pro.

The Cutters Golf Gloves comes in two designs - Tour (left) and Humid (below).

I have used the C-TACK^TM Humid over the past couple of weeks and found the grip to be excellent.

The back of the Humid glove is made of a breathable, lightweight material that, with the well positioned air holes, allowed my hand to breathe more readily and reduce a sweaty palm. This helped my game and was more comfortable on the hottest days.

The only difference between the design of the palms of the two glove design is the Humid Glove comes with an extra line of perspiration holes.

The C-TACK^TM Humid comes in a choice of grey or orange.

The gloves are currently not stocked by UK retailers but can be bought direct from the Cutters website.

I would certainly recommend this glove as a major breakthrough because of the quality of the grip that it offers without compromises at all on the perfect fit, comfortable feel or durability of a golf glove.

Yesterday’s post reminded someone of the US tv Maxfli advert, Go Long and Go Home, which was apparently banned as it shows the maverick John Daly drinking - there’s a shock!

This is a great advert with John Daly showing he’s not a bad country rock star either; and checkout the buggy maneouvres, reminiscent of the Jackass Movie.

Here’s a video of the eccentric PGA golfer, John Daly being interviewed without wearing shoes, socks and a shirt on US television.

The interview takes place as John Daly plays a round of golf at his own course, The Murder Rock Golf Club in Branson, Missouri.

Can you imagine Tiger Woods being interviewed like this? Come to think of it, can you imagine any other PGA professional golfer being interviewed without his shirt on?

I first saw this video on www.TheGolfBlog.com

Ireland’s Peter Lawrie won the European PGA Spanish Open yesterday in an exciting finish by beating the Spanish golfer Ignacio Garrido on the second play-off hole.

The Open de Espana 2008 (Spanish Open) was held at the Real Club de Golf in Seville; and on the final day, Garrido was one of a three Spanish players with a chance of winning the European PGA Spanish Open. Both Jimenez & Garcia-Heredia finished two shots behind the leaders with 13 under.

Lawrie looked set to win without a sudden death play-off until Garrido finished with an amazing 30ft birdie putt to tie on 15 under.

Both Lawrie & Garrido birdied the first play-off hole, but then Garrido found the water.

This is the first victory on the European PGA Tour for Peter Lawrie, the 34-year-old from Dublin, Ireland at the 175th attempt; and after Damiern McGrane won in China two weeks ago and Darren Clarke’s victory in the Asian Open, that’s three Irish wins in a row.
