Gard Changed His Driver to R11 - Sports - Golf

Case Gard is the only golfer from the fourth Florida Southern golfer to shoot 7-under par lower in the 31-year history of the Matlock Collegiate Classic.

Gard changed his driver to taylormade r11 driver instead of his taylormade r9 driver used before. He said this r11 driver increases his distance off the tee dramatically. "I've gained 20 yards with my driver, and it's still as accurate as before.'' Gard's recent great performance made Florida Southern's spring season brighter.

Gard has proven his mettle on the course at his 21 years old ever since he was a junior golfer. Gard claimed three titles at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College after winning the Junior Citrus Open at Cleveland Heights, and then transferred to FSC for the fall season.

"Case has come a long way from his first tournament to where he is right now with his mental game,'' Gordin said." He's getting a lot more mentally tough. When I first got him, he made some bad decisions out there, and of course I corrected him, much to his dismay.''

In addition to the r11 driver, Gard also replaced his putter with TaylorMade Ghost Spider putter. This putter helps Gard out his whole game, and helped with his three-putt stats. The two new clubs helped Gard a lot. The putter has shaved one to two shots a round off his scores while r11 driver increases his distance significantly.

Gard opened the Matlock with a 5-under 67, adding rounds of 70-72 to lead the Mocs to a runner-up finish. "It's definitely a high. I hope to win a few more if I can,'' said Gard, a George Jenkins graduate who was named Sunshine State Conference Men's Golfer of the Week. "We're better right now than in the fall,'' Gordin said." Hopefully we peak at the regional and the national tournament. It is a process. It's encouraging.''

At the age of 23, Scott won the 2004 Players Championship and two years later the Tour Championship. He was on the move, but his game wasn't showing up at the majors. In the year of 2011, Scott had only four top-10s in 39 majors. He had five other top 10s last year, including a win at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in August.

At Augusta, where he finished in a tie for second, Scott held the lead late on Sunday, but his 5-under 67 wasn't enough to hold off Charl Schwartzel, who had four closing birdies to win by two shots.

From swing instructor to caddie, Scott Titleist Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 Putter has seemingly followed in Tiger's footsteps. Now he's taken up Tiger's habit of not playing very much golf, building his schedule around the majors and a few select other events, including the World Golf Championships.

On Thursday, his 6-under par 66 in the first round of the WGC-Cadillac Championship was only his sixth round of year. "I'm trying to keep myself fresh and have myself ready, also at the same time for the biggest events of the year," said Scott, "And that certainly starts here, I believe, until the end of September.
