I could have sworn that I've posted (more than once) that Hireko
800-367-8912 carries the ACER line.  Their literature implies they
own it (most of this stuff comes from Taiwan and Korea anyway) as
they described 6 different series of woods and 6 different series
of irons that all carry the ACER name now.  I don't have the GolfMaster
catalog, so I don't know what they carry, BUT the question of who
owns the name matters less than who prices them the lowest.  So
Beat This (Please!):

Hireko ACER XDS Jumbo 10 deg driver (their model M360J) ... $17.25
       ACER 2001 Deep Bore (Bertha-look-alike, M160J)......  18.00
       ACER XDS Kevlar-yellow (John-Daly-Style, M440)......     NA
also.. True Ace graphite shafts (these are cheap) C12......  12.00

all these are single unit prices with significant breaks for larger
quantities.  Lots cheaper than Golfday, how about GolfMaster?

p.s. "X" things every club builder should do:

	3> add lead to the sole (or soul) of a graphite driver
	4> build a full set of BeCu irons w/ graphite shafts
	5> Encounter a stranger on the course who has somehow

Well, I would think it would be a penalty outright the fact that he stroked the
other ball with his club. It's like saying that he took a practice *shot* (and
not just a swing) whether intentionally or not. My Dad lost a tournament this
way when, after making his last and winning putt on the 18th hole, he went to
the fringe of the green to practice a few more putts while waiting for his 
challenger to finish his own last putt. And while my Dad won the tournament by a stroke, the
challenger threw the rule book at him for that practice stroke which was
considered a penalty.

Is this ruling correct or wrong ?

Austin has several courses. 3 municipal courses: Lions Muni., which
is close to UT campus. Nice course, very crowded. Jimmy Clay, which
is in South Austin, wide open , fairly long. OK course, but 5 hrs is
the standard time ( as with most public courses these days). Morris
Williams is immediately east of the runway at the Austin airport. I
don't particularly like this course, but they do play some collegiate
and city tournaments there. Gets loud when jets are going 100 ft over
your head every few minutes!
 
Also there are several public courses in the area that are privately
run. My favorite is Forest Creek in Round Rock, 20 minutes north
of the UT area. Well kept, long and farily challenging, this is a good
course to play. These privately owned courses cost a little more, too.
I think around $25 on the weekend w/ cart. Play there if you get a
chance. Another new pub course is Blackhawk in Pflugerville, which is
also just north of Austin, about 20mins from UT. Built on old farm
land, there are very few trees. They did a good job w/ the land, though,
and built a decent course. Bent grass greens help some. Also fairly
long and always windy, makes it more challenging.
In Leander (30 mins NW of UT), there's Crystal Falls. Fun course, but
very tight. Also frustrating because of fairways on some holes that
slope into creeks, etc. People either love it or hate it.
Bluebonnet Hills is 15 mins east of UT, by Decker Lake. Also few trees
and very windy. Fairly fun, I enjoyed playing there, but have only done
so twice.
 
There are several wonderful country club courses in the area. Barton
Creek has three courses, Onion Creek, Lakeway has three courses.
Austin country club. VERY expensive, but you can get on if you know
someone. Immaculate courses, always challenging. I happen to have a
buddy that is a pro at Barton Creek, so I have the good fortune of
occasionally being able to play all these courses.
 
Any other Austinites who can recommend different courses or have
different opinions about these courses?

Well I don't know what is going on - maybe someone from Otago could give us
some insight into the workings of the mind of Mr Mains. Michael Jones has now
pulled out of the trials with a back injury and Paul Henderson is under an
injury cloud and Laurie is now talking about a shortage of flankers and still
playing Eric on the wing. Personally I think Rush could possibly be a great
centre but All Black trials are not the place to experiment with such ideas.

To make matters worse Jon Preston has now pulled out of the trials due to a
bruise on his hip and Bernie McCahill has been moved into first five for the
main trial. It's very hard to see how this is good for the future of NZ rugby,
and makes me wonder if I'm ever going to see an All Black side without Grant
Fox. Surely a specialist should be playing in the main trial and there must be
more than four first-fives playing in NZ at the moment. If necessary surely
either Fox or Stensness could have been brought in from the early trial.

One more defection - Terry Wright has ruled himself out of contention for the
test matches against the World XV. He aggravated a shoulder injury at the Hong
Kong sevens (won brilliantly by the Fijians) and is now also suffering from a
poisoned foot - the infection is thought to have been caused by the mud at the
Hong Kong stadium.

Looks like more of the same from the All Blacks this year :-(.

	After another IRB meeting in Wellington, NZ, it was announced that the
try is to be now worth 5 points, this law will come into effect inn South Africa Australia, New Zealand and most other Southern Hemisphere countries in May?Juneof this year and in august/semptember everywhere else. Penalties, drop goals,
conversions all remain the same.  It was said that the new law was implemented 
to give more importance to scoring tries, other rules to do with the Lineout and scrum were announced as well designed to speed up the game.
	I don't know if these laws will apply to teams such as the Irish and 
the Scots (&eng b) who will be touring the southern hemisphere this summer, it can only make problems worse for the Irish, instead of being beaten 70-0 it could now be 85-0.

You know Alan,

Murray Mexted, the legendary All Black No 8, played for Natal for a couple
of years as well. It was a real pleasure to watch the man in action! Also,
I've just found out that the currie Cup hasn't started yet. There are cross
section games and a couple of smaller tournaments in progress i.e. Yardley
Cup and Lion Cup and a new night game series.

Anyway, we eagerly await results!

Ooops - sorry forgot to answer this one. Can't remember if Pat Lam is in the
trial teams, although given the panic over loose forwards you'd think he would
be, but Steve Bachop has declared for New Zealand this year.

Well nobody else has done it so I'll try to remember the squad of 26 chosen for
the All Blacks for their games against the World XV. There are 11 backs and 15

miss the odd one - there are a number of new caps.

Fullback - Greg Cooper (Otago)

Well there's 26 there and I don't think I've made up any of them :-). The team
will be captained by Sean Fitzpatrick.

Some notes on the team. A number of players were unavailable through injury -
the most notable being Mike Brewer who pulled a calf muscle during the final
trial. Anthony Strachan played his way into the side with two strong games in
the trials - played so well in fact that they couldn't ignore him. Walter
Little has been picked as both a centre and a five-eigth and coach Mains has
stated he will play at least one test in each position.
