Click here to listen. The most recent edition of TravelGolf.com This Week scores a hole-in-one, as host Dave Berner leads the way. TravelGolf Media President Robert Lewis talks about the big differences between golf in Southern Arizona and Central Arizona “Phoenix/Scottsdale is really Central Arizona and the capital of golf in the West,” said Lewis. “That’s not my favorite place to golf. When I really want to golf, I especially like going toward the Mexican border and playing Rio Rico.” Bruce Stasch, the host of Golf Gear News, checks in with his opinion of knock-off clubs. “It was generally thought of that it you got a cheap import, it was just that - a cheap import,” says Stasch. “But because their technology has improved dramatically, in my opinion, there’s very little difference in what you get from a brand-name manufacturer and what you’re getting from a component manufacturer.” Berner tells us about the first hole-in-one of his golfing career, and then talks to pro golfer Luke Swilor, who talks about his experience on the mini-tours. “There’s nights that you’ll have to sleep in the car. Money is a big issue for most of us and not many of us have sponsors.” Plus: The intricacies of choosing the next contestants on Big Break. All this and more on TravelGolf.com This Week!

Mr Stasch in his comments defines 'knockoffs' as non-OEM made clubheads. Knockoff by definition is a copy or very close copy of an OEM designed head. Companies such as Tom Wishon, KZG, SMT, Golfsmith, Golfworks are good examples of companies that design their own heads from scratch and are not replicas or clones or 'knockoffs' of OEM heads. These are reputable component companies. Mr. Stasch would be more credible if he would deliniate and specify. Knockoffs and clones have been, are, and will be junk. A good, honest, reputable clubmaker will know the difference. To lump the quality component manufacturers with the knockoffs is poor reporting for which I really question Mr Stasch's knowledge of the industry. Mr Stasch should call Tom Wishon and talk to him about the difference, as Tom's good book was referenced, or reread page 65 in Tom's book.
