Are golfers fore-going safety?

It's time for a rant. From our very first adventures onto a golf course we're encouraged, not demanded, to scream 'fore' if our ball is going off line. We've all had to do it, both for ourselves and playing partners, when we see a miss-hit flying towards another golfer on the course who we're frantically hoping would just move out of the way.

So why is it that when the tour pros skew one left or right, where hundreds of spectators are lined up along the edge of the rough, do they not see the importance of shouting 'fore'? Take Pat Perez for example. On Sunday he saw a stray tee shot clatter into the head of a spectator on the 12th, before firing another loose drive into the leg of another spectator on the 15th. And guess what - no shout of 'fore' on either occasion.

Perez isn't in the minority either, it happens far too often. Shane Lowry's tweet (seen above) hits the nail on the head. Let's hope more players follow his mindset.

Come and try the new Cobra One length iron today!

The King F7 One Length irons make their debut as Cobra’s first ever single-length iron set. Inspired by our relationship with PGA Tour Professional, Bryson DeChambeau, The King F7 One utilizes the same Tecflo constructions as the King F7 along with Pwrshell Faces and Precision Milled Grooves. However, the King F7 One Length features constant 7-iron lengths throughout the set and each head has been re-engineered for proper geometry to deliver optimized trajectory and distance gapping from long irons to wedges. The end result? A simpler, easier way to play.
