Faldo reveals Cyprus gem

Sir Nick Faldo, six times a major championship winner, is leading the challenge of Cyprus to become one of Europe's leading golf destinations. In the autumn he will officially open The Elea Golf Club near Paphos, Cyprus, just eight kilometres from the island's the international airport.



The par 71 golf course, in a striking location above the Mediterranean Sea, features weathered outcrops of limestone dotted among rolling fairways and undulating greens.
 
Says Sir Nick: "When we designed the golf course, we decided to put the emphasis on thoughtful golf, rather than big-hitting.There are plenty of strategic riddles for the golfer to explore and unravel here."




The courses winds through mature carob and olive trees, in a carefully planned ecological design, where individual holes are fringed by colourful native ‘garrigue’ flora encouraging local wildlife including partridge, birds of prey and butterflies thriving on the benefits of a carefully protected environment.



So as not to disturb the stunning views, the new clubhouse boasts underground parking and features multiple terraces with views over the course, a lounge area, and top class restaurant for its members and visitors.



Ross Robertson, director of golf operations at The Elea adds: "For too long the international golf business has been focused on turning over numbers. At Elea we we want everyone, whether a golfer or not, to experience a real club, where everyone can feel at home.



The TaylorMade Golf Tour Burner Iron Set with Steel Shafts each have an offset inverted cone clubface that gives faster average ball speed and longer distance on shots due to the thin and fast 2.2 mm face. That revolutionary face offers increased c.o.r., and the cavity badge delivers a super satisfying feel and sound and a clean, classic look at the address.



After a lot of swings on the range, it was obvious that I hit these much more smoothly. They are lofted quite a bit more than my old cheapo set, so I hit them pretty high, but they also go about 10-15 yards further per club.



This new Taylormade Iron Set is fantastic. They are easy to hit, they look great, and they have a very nice feel. I was playing Titleist DCI and I like these 10 times better than the DCI. I highly recommend these clubs to anyone wanting a little extra legnth and confidence in their bags with their irons. The price is great, and I can not wait to get in the course with these sticks.



In the end, these clubs have the same feel and appearance at address as the old Burners but have the forgiveness, performance, and playability of modern clubs. I also tried the Burners and Burner Plus' but both of these clubs felt more heavy and chunky due to their modern forgiving design.
