Triple Crown 07 upd
Got myself and VISION and the Vision UV Yellow, the first Australian Golf title:
"Australian Matchplay Champion 2007"
Men’s B Division
Gosh, that was a great tournament.. ive never expected it to be so good! The Short Course Golf (aka Pitch and Putt) community is a super bunch of dedicated SC Golf people.
We've played from Thursday to Saturday and an average of 3 matches a day, conform Matchplay rules. Matchplay is a very mentally though golf game, were you score a point per hole or square the hole (even) or loose the hole. This means out of 18 holes you need to win most holes.
I've met so many great people, and most of my time I spend with the dutch crew :) naming Jenno Wolters and his girlfriend Kirsten, Kirsten’s brother Niels, Jelle Wabnitz and dutch top woman player Esther Newsum. (ps all "A" Division players)
Boy did I had a good time with those guys.. pff, was great talking some plain ol dutch again.. spend most evenings after the tournament at the hotel and campsite of the guys having a few beers :P. The guys had smuggled some typical "Groningse gedroogde worst" into the country(dried sausage, bit like the south african drywors), gosh what a fantastic suprise.. half of the stack got conviscated by the customs, a shear sacrifice for the stash that made it through.. lol (Groningen 1 - Aussie customs 0 :P)
Interesting note was I played with the Vision UV Yellow in a precision golf game on an very high quality course at Terrey Hills. The ball performed really well although its more leaning towards a longer straighter game. I could stop the ball pretty much everywhere !!!!!
Other interesting note, my semi-final against a french guy was undecided after 18 holes and took 3 playoff holes and had only 5 points total, the rest was all square.. amazing great game that was, my hart was pumping at the end and shaking all over.. sunk a 6 ft put to birdie and take the win!
The final was a breeze compared to all other games.. didnt even gave the poor english (living in france) guy a chance.. after 10 holes it was 8 points for me and 2 squares.. lol he conceded obviously :)
The sunday we went with the whole crew plus Jim Judge (IRE) to explore Sydney.. again just having a few quiet beers with the crew.. lol
The crew is up to Canberra now to play the second and third leg of the Triple Crown tournament, maybe I can drive up this weekend to cheer the guys on.
Ps.. the dutch crew looooooove the vision balls YAYAY .. !!
PPs.. beating a Pro V1 player with a UV Yellow feels goooooood !!
PPPs.. sleeping with Jelle in one bed, crashed out on beer is safe.. :P

Vision Cap 08
Pssst.. dont tell anybody yet :), but this is what the next generation Vision caps is going to look like. We just got the samples, and besides the white cap is looking stunning, the dark blue cap is a winner too. We've tried many cap models over time, and this one is just fantastic, sits really well on the head and also looks very good, great shape.
Yes.. I've got the white cap :P

Vision Yellow Colour
This is what the Vision Yellow Golf Ball looks like on a cloudy day, the ball becomes more radiant, and really stands out in the environment.
The same effect happens early morning or at twilight, giving atleast a half hour extra play both ways.
I finally could capture the real effect and colour of this ball.
During bright daylight the ball shifts more towards yellow and becomes more visible in that way.
Had to show :)
