The concept of A non-conforming, or "high-COR" driver

A non-conforming, or "high-COR" driver, is a golf club designed to maximize distance by exceeding the Coefficient of Restitution (COR) limits set by the rules of golf. Here's a more detailed explanation in English 1. Coefficient of Restitution (COR): The COR measures the "bounciness" or energy transfer between two objects after a collision. In golf, it specifically refers to the energy transfer between the driver's clubface and the golf ball at impact. A COR of 1 represents a perfectly elastic collision where no energy is lost. Imagine dropping a ball from 1 meter; with a COR of 1, it would bounce back up to 1 meter. The rules of golf, as governed by the USGA and R&A, limit the COR of driver heads to 0.83. This means that if a ball were dropped onto the clubface from 1 meter, it could not rebound higher than 0.83 meters. 2.

"Here, There and Everywhere": Written by John during a phase in which he had no clue where his driver was going.

Cheyenne Woods' Breakout Win and the Legacy Behind It By John Strege Saturday night was closing fast on Sunday morning in Phoenix when Cheyenne Woods' final hole from the Australian Ladies Masters was posted on the Internet. Her mother, Susan Woods, wide awake at her computer, had two thoughts immediately come to mind: how proud she was of her daughter, and how proud Cheyenne's late grandfather, Earl Woods, would have been—no less than he had been for Tiger Woods. 1. The Family Legacy and Her First Major Win The Beginning: Cheyenne's father is Earl Woods Jr., Tiger Woods' half-brother. Cheyenne was introduced to golf in the exact same garage in Cypress, California, by the same man—her grandfather, Earl Woods—who introduced Tiger to the game. Making Her Own Name: At 23 years old, Tiger's niece began carving out her own identity by winning her first major professional tour title. She beat a formidable field that included top players like Jessica Korda, Yani Tsen...
