On a brand new episode of Golf Fitness Academy, PGA Tour player and Titleist ambassador Troy Matteson joins co-hosts Dr. Greg Rose and Dave Phillips to demonstrate a total body workout that targets the chest, core and legs to improve strength and stability in the golf swing.

Matteson, who won the 2006 Frys.com Open, developed his total body workout with the help of one of the Georgia Tech football coaches while he was enrolled at the school. Beginning with cardio to get the body warmed up, Troy progresses into a series of push-ups that target muscles throughout the chest and shoulders. He then uses a medicine ball to focus on the core, progressing through a sequence of throws, twists and crunches. With key muscles warmed up, Matteson concludes with a series of exercises that mimic key movements in the golf swing.

Renovations to the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass since last year's PLAYERS should ensure firm and fast conditions regardless of the weather. We captured some images of the two closing holes during the practice rounds...firm, fast, and the potential for wind should challenge the world's best players.

The Titleist Tour Van debuted in Korea at the Maekyung Open, May 1, 2007. The Korean Tour Van is equipped with the same fitting options and machines as the Titleist Tour Van that supports the U.S. PGA Tour. At its launch, Titleist provided services and products to over 120 players who participated in the Maekyung Open, including 72 Korean players and 50 Asian Tour players. The Tour Van was well received by the participants and widely covered by the Korean media who had an opportunity to view it. While the Titleist Tour Van contributes to Titleist brand-building, its main purpose is player support by providing a wide array of services to improve player performance.

Wally Uihlein, Chairman and CEO of Acushnet Company, helped celebrate the launch of the Titleist Tour Van in Korea. (From L to R are Titleist Tour Representatives YG Kim, George Shay and Philip Choi; Titleist Tour Technician David Southworth; Korean PGA Tour players DoHoon Kim, DoHoon Kim, KyungTae Kim and SoonSang Hong; Wally Uihlein; Kevin Haglof, Vice President, Acushnet Asia Pacific; Korean PGA Tour players J.K. Mo, JinHo Choi and SungHoon Kang.

We thought we'd share a few more photos from the practice putting green and with Scotty Cameron highlighting the final day of preparations for THE PLAYERS. The TPC creation below is the handiwork of Titleist Tour Rep Jim Curran. It has become a weekly tradition for Jim to come up with a daily design that is applicable to the event or city in which the Tour is playing. Jim is seen in the next photo talking with Stan Utley and a Tour player about some of the Scotty Cameron putters available to try out. Finally, we caught up with Scotty as he was working on the putter of a longtime Scotty loyalist in the Tour Van.

We posted an entry yesterday that highlighted the different headcover and grip options available in the Tour Van for Scotty Cameron putters. As you can imagine, headcovers and grips aren't the only things Scotty can customize for our guys on Tour. The Black X below is for Titleist ambassador and Tour winner Charley Hoffman. The Black X is a Tour model of the Red X that features a charcoal finish, Tour-only sole plate, and face with no insert. Charley's putter is 35" and has a red Winn grip. Be sure to check out ScottyCameron.com often for updates and slide shows highlighting our involvement on Tour.
