Equipment
Jim Thorpe uses a Never
Compromise putter that he purchased from a used club bin two weeks
ago to win the Kroger Senior Classic in a playoff Sunday. Two of the top
10 players at the event used Never Compromise putters to claim more than

Courses
St. Andrews Links
Trust installs a sulphur burner to improve the quality of the water
used to irrigate its courses, including the Old Course. By adding small
amounts of sulphur to the water and lowering the pH to that of rainwater,
the burner will reduce grass diseases and improve the water absorption
and release of nutrients.
