Czeching in for the Moravia Silesia Open
For the first time since 1997, the European Tour returns to the Czech Republic, and the Prosper Golf Club in Celadna, for the Moravia Silesia Open presented by ALO Diamonds. And a whole host of Titleist Ambassadors and golf ball loyalists are hoping that they can sparkle this week, following in the footsteps of Pro V1x golf ball loyalist and SAS Masters Champion, Ricardo Gonzalez.

Measuring 7,155 yards, the par 72 course is very undulating and offers spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. As well as thick rough around the putting surfaces and many water hazards, the main challenge to the players will be the multi-tiered greens. This feature alone will make club selection and distance control vital to good scoring – as well as having a hot flatstick!
One Titleist Ambassador hoping that a new putter will help him tame the greens for the rest of the season is Pablo Larrazabal. He took delivery this week of a Titleist Scotty Cameron “Timeless” putter in a German Stainless Steel (GSS) finish. The specs of the putter are:
Club: Titleist Scotty Cameron Timeless
Length: 33” cut
Lie: 71°
Loft: 4°
Grip: Red Cord
Swingweight: Standard
Finish: GSS
As the Titleist Tour Support Vehicle (TTSV) is not returning to the road until the KLM Open to wards the end of August, the Titleist Tour Team were again focusing on progress evaluation. Titleist Tour Technician Phil Dimmock walked the course during practice with staffers Rob Dinwiddie and Seve Benson to discuss future requirements. At the time of writing, Rob lies five off the leaders after two rounds and Seve is two shots further back having just started his second round.
Fellow Titleist full line player, Tano Goya is right in the mix having just started his second round, lying just one shot off the lead! As you’ll see in the pictures, Tano has been working hard on the range as always – it sometimes just needs a small change to put the guys back in the groove. Let’s hope Tano stays in the fray through till Sunday afternoon!
Once again, a somewhat shorter than normal Titleist European Tour Blog, but we’ll be back again soon with any inside the ropes info to give you the inside line on what keeps the best players in the world in the hunt for titles! Happy golfing in the meantime!
