AN UNLIKELY HOLE IN ONE

An avid user of Wishon clubheads, 64-year-old Garth McCreedy scored his second hole in one (170+ yards) using a Wishon 919THI Driver in April of this year.

A wheelchair bound paraplegic, Garth golfs using just one arm – an unlikely candidate for this pinnacle score. “It happened about 3.30 in the afternoon,” told McCreedy to The Province. “No. 14 is 141 yards long, and I’m usually four or five yards short, but the fairways are hard and I got a couple of extra bounces.
“Tony and I went up to the green and we couldn’t see my ball…The last place we looked was in the hole, and, son of a gun, there was my ball…I couldn’t believe it.”

True Temper AMT Red


AMT Red is the lightest weight and highest launching member of the AMT family. Along with the AMT Black and White this family of shafts offers three different launch conditions: Red = High; Black = Mid; White = Low. This technology is designed to help golfers launch their longer irons higher and keep them in the air for longer.

AMT (Ascending Mass Technology) means the shorter the shaft gets, the heavier it becomes, normally in 3 gram increments. AMT Red is a little different to the others in the family as the weights are as follows:

4 Iron – 94g
5 Iron – 94g
6 Iron – 94g
7 Iron – 94g
8 Iron – 97g
9 Iron – 100g
Pitching Wedge – 103g
Wedge – 106g

The AMT Red, as a lightweight shaft, is well suited to golfers with slower swing speeds or those whom need to launch the ball higher in the air.
