David Usher
Dave is a mid-handicap golfer, an avid collector of vintage Ping putters and the world's biggest Payne Stewart fan. He tests and reviews mostly package sets, hybrids and wedges for Golf Monthly.
Dave’s lowest round is a one over par 73 around Kirkby Valley Golf Club in 2018, which included a bogey on the 18th to ruin the one and only chance he’ll ever have of shooting an even par or better score. That errant tee shot does not still haunt him to this day though, in fact he hardly ever thinks about it.
Dave’s current What’s In The Bag?
Driver: Wilson Staff Dynapower
5 wood: Tour Edge Exotics 722
7 wood: Callaway Mavrik Max
6 hybrid: Callaway Epic Flash
Irons: Cobra Darkspeed, 6-PW
Wedges: Cleveland CBX ZipCore, 48°, 52°, 56°
Putter: Ping PLD Oslo 3 (custom fit)
Ball: TaylorMade Tour Response Stripe
