Since Tiger Woods is using Nike Sasquatch, this club definitely has to deserve its popularity. In fact, Nike Sasquatch is quite popular among several pro golf player as many of them reported that Nike Sasquatch has helped them to win pro golf contests.
Like any other club, it is designed to help the golfers reach their maximum potential at the long shots. Due to the fact that it’s created with the Powerbow technology, Nike Sasquatch helps the golfers to deliver a straight launch, advantage that is quite preferred by the rookies in this sport. Now, some players may find this club to be to light for them; in order to solve that, additional weights can be installed on the club, without spoiling its properties. However, only experienced golfers can hit properly with the tuned version of the Nike Sasquatch.
To make things clear, Nike Sasquatch comes with a stiff shaft and 105 degree loft, fact that automatically helps every golfer to hit further with at least 10 yards, fact that isn’t happening at the regular clubs.

American Bubba Watson beat South Africa’s Louis Oosthuizen in a play-off to clinch the 76th Masters at Augusta.
The 33-year-old left-hander won at the second extra hole to claim his first major title.
Watson and 2010 Open champion Oosthuizen tied at 10 under after 72 holes and shared par fours at the first extra hole, the 18th.
Going down the 10th, both drove into trees to the right of the fairway but Watson hit a fabulous second to eight feet and had the luxury of two putts for the title after Oosthuizen’s bogey five.
The emotional Watson broke down in tears as the final putt dropped before embracing his caddie and mother, followed by friends, including fellow PGA Tour players Rickie Fowler and Ben Crane.
“This day means so much more than putting on this Green Jacket, in many ways,” said Watson, on receiving the trademark blazer from defending champion Charl Schwartzel.
“But it is a special time to do it. It was amazing. The last nine holes, I don’t remember anything.”
Watson’s previous best major placing was finishing as runner-up to Germany’s Martin Kaymer at the 2010 PGA Championship, after losing a play-off.
He becomes the eighth consecutive first-time major winner and he will move up to fourth in the world rankings.

Golf is a game in which the competing players use different types of clubs to hit the balls into a series of halls that are made on the golf course. To hit the balls into the holes the players have to use the minimum number of strokes. In the rules of golf the game is defined as “playing a ball with a club from the teeing ground into the hole by a stroke or successive strokes in accordance with the Rules.” Every golf course has a unique design and there are no standardized playing areas for the game. Golf is highly popular in many countries and has a huge following. The word golf has its origin from the Dutch word ‘kolf’. ‘Kolf’’ meant club and was then transformed by the Scots to ‘glove’. The word golf evolved in the end of the 16th century.
The club is a customized stick which has a heavy end. The use of minimum number of strokes to put the ball into the holes makes the game difficult. The clubs are all different. They have different lengths, the density of club heads is different and the loft of face. There is a restriction on the maximum number of clubs that a golfer can use. The player is given a maximum of 14 clubs to play the game. The golf courses are also all different as there are no standards set for them. They have different shapes and sizes. Also, the hazards or the obstacles are different. The obstacles or hazards make the game difficult for the player as the player has to hit the ball around. The obstacles on the golf course may be of three types, namely: water hazards like lakes and rivers, man-made obstacles like bunkers and natural hazards like dense vegetation. There is a special set of rule which applies to the game when the ball falls into these hazards.
Since there are a huge number of rules which apply to the game and they are quite confusing so it is very essential for the player to know the basics of the game clearly. The golfer must be prepared to deal with odd situations like the ball falling into a hazard or obstacle. Certain situations result in incurring of penalties. When a ball is lost or is hit out of the bounds then it counts as a penalty. If the player hits the wrong ball or hits his fellow golfer’s ball then once again it results in a penalty.
The game of golf starts when the player hits the ball using his club on the teeing ground. A small peg which is used to raise the ball above the ground level is called a tee. This shot is known as drive and is intended for covering long distances on the golf course. The term used for putting the ball in hole is ‘sinking the putt’. After the shot when the balls comes to rest the golfer again hits it to sink the putt.
