Harry Vardon, the six-time Open champion, was famously born in Grouville, as was another Open champion, Ted Ray, while the legendary European Tour pro Tommy Horton served as professional at the club for many years.
Says Lobb: "The TaylorMade R9 Ironsand traditions of Royal Jersey are of paramount importance will be a key consideration as we undertake our work over this famous links course."
Improvement of the bunkers will be one of the main features of the design work, which begins this month under the keen eye of head greenkeeper, David Crawford, who says: "One of the key aspects of TPL's work will be to ensure the course is still a fair test of golf, particularly when you consider how advancements in equipment and golf ball technology over the past 10 years have significantly influenced how far all levels of player hit their shots."
Taylormade R9 Max Irons features a dual head design made for both performance and control. the 3-5 irons feature a high repulsion face with hollow cavity structure for increased distance. The 6-Wedge feature a more compact undercut pocket cavity with a focus on feel, control and accuracy.
Taylormadeutilizes its inverted cone technology to expand the sweet area reducing overall loss on off center hits. The multifunctional sole is versatile and made to excel in any lie. The new R9 Max has strong lofts with a 25* 5 iron and a wider sole and more offset than the standard Japan R9 iron. Those who want R9 Technology in an ultra forgiving and distance performing package should opt for the super forgiving R9 Max iron.
TaylorMade R9 Driver has a small metallic sleeve positioned over the tip of the shaft. The shaft is secured to the club head with a specially made bolt in the bottom of the club head. The FCT bolt is designed to be retained in the well to eliminate the chance of losing it. At the bottom of the sleeve is a ring of small, gear like teeth, which tightly mesh with a second ring of matching teeth within the hosel. You can change the club head's characteristics (face angle, loft, lie) by loosening the FCT bolt, removing the shaft from the head, rotating the sleeve and shaft into a specified position, then locking them into that position within the head with the FCT bolt.
