Tour player J.J. Henry initiated his little gag. It went like this: Henry, chasing the $1 million first prize in the PGA Tour's Kodak Challenge, decided to switch from his normal 44.75-inch driver to a 48-inch driver at the Justin Timberlake event. However, Henry did not use a 48-inch driver. He joked to Callaway tour reps that he would do it, although he stuck with his customary FT-9 Tour Authentic driver - actual loft, 9.7 degrees, with an X-flex UST Axiv Core shaft. The length is 44.75 inches, and the swingweight is D4. Callaway's public relations department briefly circulated the 48-inch story, then offered a correction.

Those crazy tour pro's.

Their wacky antics are always on the cutting edge, comedy-wise.

This guys a freakin' comedic genius! Between him and the Lee Janzen snakes, playing on the pro tour must be like living during the golden age of Saturday Night Live.
