The Iceman of South African golf would like nothing better than to add the Masters to the two US Open titles he already owns, but after finding victories were eluding him this year, he decided that it was time to make a change or two heading for the first major of year in Georgia next week.
The first thing he did was to take out of mothballs the old Yes! TaylorMade Rossa Corza Ghost Putter that helped him win both his US Opens.
Then he looked at his playing schedule and decided it might have something to do with his relatively disappointing performances at the Masters in recent years.
"I think that's the main thing,'' he said at Redstone Golf Club in Humble near Houston this week where he has been readying himself to play in the Shell Houston Open
"You know, I've always done well at Augusta playing the week before when we had the event at Atlanta, Since it was moved, I haven't really done that well at Augusta. So I feel playing TaylorMade Rossa Corza Ghost Putter in Houston this week will hopefully give me the feeling you need to have going into Augusta.
"And yes," he added, "there was another thing; fast greens and shaved runoff areas that emulate the conditions we players will see next week.
"A lot of the players have told me it's as close as you can get it to the Augusta setup, or grass, I should say, so that's definitely what made me decide to play here in Texas this year."
Goosen finished third at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship earlier this year and claimed a share of 12th at the Northern Trust Open, but it wasn't enough to make him happy so he has also changed his grip and has resorted to his old tried a tested Yes! TaylorMade Rossa Corza Ghost Putter "The putter, he expects, will give him a better roll than he has been getting lately and with it give him more feel on the greens over the next two weeks and the new grip, he hopes will sort out his other major concern - his driving.
"My game is not great. I've not really done much this year,'' Goosen told the media.
"I've played a couple of good TaylorMade Rossa Corza Ghost Putter but I've not really been playing all that well.
TaylorMade Rossa Corza Ghost Putter
TaylorMade's goal with the Rossa Corza Ghost Putter was simple: Design a putter that's easier to aim than any other. That's where the white head comes in. Ghost's "golf-ball white" color complements the white color of the ball, and also stands out easily and beautifully against green grass so you don't have to strain to see the topline. That takes the strain off your eyes and promotes a calm and confident state of mind, according to an expert in the field of color perception, who TaylorMade consulted during the developement of Ghost. The three black lines on the crown lend further alignment support. The two outer lines are spaced as far apart as the width of a golf ball. Position the ball between those lines when you address your putt you'll be amazed at how easy it is to tell where the face is aiming.
The elevated crown merges seamlessly with the top of the putterface, making the topline extremely easy to see.
The circular hole at the rear of the putterhead works in union with the three black lines on the crown and the golf ball to create a vivid secondary alignment aid that gives you complete assurance that your aim is true.
Rossa's renowned AGSI+ (Anti-skid Groove System Insert) promotes forwardspin for a smooth roll, while its Titallium construction delivers soft and satisfying feel at impact.
