Some secret: Singh excelled in 08 with Canada?s own Element 21

It’s enough to make you wonder why they bother. Element 21 Golf Co., the Toronto-based purveyors of golf clubs and shafts made with its much-ballyhooed proprietary Scandium alloy, issued a news release Tuesday celebrating the fact that an “unnamed player” had enjoyed notable PGA Tour success using their Scandium Sc shafts “on an unendorsed basis.” Because of [...]
