Donald and wholesale golf clubs
Donald, born in Hemel Hempstead and now based in Chicago, made his early mark as a champion collegiate golfer while at Northwestern University in the United States in 1999. He played on the victorious GB & Ireland Walker Cup side that year and again in 2001 before turning pro. He won his first R11 Driver (http://www.golfsaleworld.com/TaylorMade-R11-Driver-16473.html), the Southern Farm Bureau Classic on the PGA Tour, in 2002 and added two European Tour titles in 2004. Donald finished third at the Masters on his debut in 2005 and clinched another US win, the Honda Classic, in 2006. In that same year he was also third in the USPGA. However, then came a fallow spell in terms of title success. Often known as "Plod" for his precise, steady game, he banked life-changing amounts of money (currently more than $22m in the US alone) without further victories - a state of affairs once unfairly termed 'Luke Donald disease'. But Donald was developing and building R11 Driver (http://www.golfsaleworld.com/TaylorMade-R11-Driver-16473.html), and he finally burst the dam when he captured the 2010 Madrid Masters, the week after blowing the lead on the 17th in the final round of the PGA at Wentworth. He was third in the Wales Open at Celtic Manor straight after that and then played a starring role as a wildcard, winning his third cap, in Europe captain Colin Montgomerie's Ryder Cup side in October 2010. He now has not only won two big titles this season, but leads the money lists in both America and Europe. Donald's form has coincided with the link-up with with Burner 2.0 Irons (http://www.golfsaleworld.com/TaylorMade-Burner-20-Irons-4-9PAS-16106.html) and performance coach Dave Alred - ex-guru of England rugby star Jonny Wilkinson - to compliment the work of his swing coach of 14 years Pat Goss. The player also said the birth of his first child Elle last year has been a huge benefit to his life. "It's been a real blessing to become a father," Donald stated. "My golf has only gone from strength to strength. It's given me a lot more responsibility. I've grown up and become a better person. "She really is an inspiration to me, just watching her grow, learning new skills, adapting, becoming better at what she is. That's what I'm trying to do at golf, too. Just every day, try to figure out a way to improve. She does that every day." World golf needs to watch out - Donald's wife Diane is expecting their second child in November. But at Wentworth we saw a different side to Donald, too. No longer the plodder, he can also win Burner 2.0 Irons (http://www.golfsaleworld.com/TaylorMade-Burner-20-Irons-4-9PAS-16106.html). The opening 64 was stunning. The outward 40 on Saturday belonged to the freak show. Wayward off the tee, he spent more time in the trees than Tarzan.
