Head for Cover!!

Hey,
anyone know where Ian Poulter got his head cover - I want one like that.

Can't find a way of uploading/showing the pic here, so here is the link:-

Ian Poulter unhappy at cut of cups
British Ryder Cup player Ian Poulter was left fuming after the U.S. Open first round on Thursday. He felt the cups were not lying deep enough in the ground. "The rough's three inches thick out there. It's difficult to hit the fairways. The greens are drying out.

WHAT!! I suggest he goes out and practises a bit instead of whinging on. Lee Westwood managed a 68, Luke Donald a 69, didn't hear them making exuses.

I'm sure that when you're making decent money, you can have anything you want made.

Well, first step to getting one of those is get to be a big shot on tour, get a taylor made sponsorship and then not only will you get one, but you get payed to have it on your clubs! But i do have to say, that is an awesome head cover.

The Poulter head cover was made by Winning Edge Designs, which has made custom covers for lots of pros, but not in one's image 'til now. Some unique designs there!

You left out the most important part:
"Poulter contended that some plastic cups were less than one inch below the surface. That would mean a firmly struck putt would hit plastic at the back of the hole and bounce out, as one of Poulter's putts did at No. 1, where he made a bogey. After he putted out, Poulter repeatedly jammed the flagstick into the hole."

They showed the putt on GC last night...it definitely should have stayed in the cup. They then did a whole piece on how the holes are cut, painted, etc., as well as the position of the plastic cup in the hole...supposed to be 1 1/2" down from the lip at least, if I remember correctly.
