Not necessarily, he will more than likely put the same shafts he is currently using in the Nike heads, so it is only the head that is different. He could actually use Titliest heads with no markings... Keep the same woods and put Nike head covers on again with no markings on the heads.. It does happen, quite a lot!

Sorry for going off-topic.

I agree and only once he plays with them will we know, Faldo sums it up pretty well

I have no problemwith people making billions if their industry isn't exploitative or unethical, doesn't destroy the planet, they pay their tax and ideally give to charity. As far as I'mconcerened why shouldn't they make obscene amounts of money?

Because most if not all don't make there money in the way you describe, do you really think that Roman Abramovich has made is fortune by being a wonderful caring man?

You're not telling me anything I don't know hence the use of the word "if".

Communism isn't the only alternative to capitalism.

One thing is clear, and more and more people are becoming aware of it, and that is that capitalism is possibly the biggest problem with the modern world. It leads to inequality, rape of the worlds resources, destruction of the environment, war, suppression of technologies and countless other symptoms of a system where everybody competes with one another rather than working for the good of society

Humanity is wiser than capitalism now, or at least should be, but unfortunately it will probably take a war or another great depression before it finally is replaced with a more sensible and fair economic system.

We are in a depression now in all but name.

Through work I meet a lot of wealthy people.

They really seem to fall into 2 categories:

Decent people, who make good donations, treat their staff well both in manners and paying decent pay and possibly bonuses. They accept that UK corporation tax is low compared to most countries, and pay their full whack without thinking of illegal little ways to delay or stop it altogether.

On the other hand, there are quite a few who are making big money still who; avoid paying taxes at ALL costs, and use the recession to treat their staff like shit eg rudeness, aggression, arrogance, and little fibs that "business and cash flow is poor", their staff terms are toughened and continued real terms pay cuts go on year after year. They make no charitable donations.
