To my mind, the most important thing in the Championship course is the terrain, because no matter how skillfully one may lay out the holes and diversify them, nevertheless one must get the thrill of nature.

The man who can comply with these principles, and also diversify his greens, is a successful golf architect.

Mizuno M.Craft Omoi Putters
Mizuno refreshes their popular M.Craft line with the new Mizuno Omoi putters.The putters feature three color options and a new head-heavy design.Presale begins Feb. 17, in shops March 17.Suggested retail price is $349.99.
Mizuno has put a lot of thought into their new putter line. In fact, the word omoi means “thought” in Japanese. Not casual thought, though. The thoughts represented by omoi are deep thoughts or, one might even say, heavy thoughts. You’ll quickly see that Mizuno is thinking heavy thoughts when it comes to this new putter.
The Omoi line is an update of Mizuno’s well-received M.Craft putter line. The Omoi putters retain some of the cooler traits from the M.Craft line, like a blue ion finish option and multiple head shapes. At first glance, you might assume the head shapes are the same as the previous models but there is one main design difference. The name gives it away. Again, think “heavy thoughts.”
The key new design feature for the Mizuno Omoi putters is that some serious weight shifting has occurred since the last M.Craft incarnation.
