An survey conducted by the consumer watchdog group, Trading Standards, revealed that another overseas scam involving the popular GHD hair straighteners.
One Trading Standards officer said: "Counterfeiters did not invested into research and development or care about complying with safety regulations. They set up production lines in temporary buildings, most often in developing countries these days, particularly in China."
A recent investigation was carried out by Trading Standards officers. As part of the investigation officers, the Newport city council-based Wales Scambuster team purchased two sets of GHD hair irons that were advertised as GHD from different websites which were based in China. Upon receipt, it was found that both sets, which cost around sixty pounds, were counterfeit. They were also found potentially dangerous due to its non-compliance with health and proper safety standards.
She added: "They are concerned to make their counterfeits look like the real thing, and then make them worth selling, either to people who are innocently after a bargain, or those consumers who deliberately choose to buy those fake goods. Anyway, there is a high price to pay, as counterfeits create a serious threat to your safe."
GHD hair straighteners are the most popular straightening iron brands in the world, and therefore, they are more expensive compared with some other makes and models, many people are prepared to pay the money in order to get their hands on these irons.
However, the popularity of these GHDs has led to a massive counterfeit GHD hair straightener in the market, and many people that purchase these fake products thinking that they are getting a great deal on the real thing are actually buying fake irons that are not only nothing to do with GHD but are also potentially dangerous because they do not adhere to standards.

Players would like to play the left of landing. kick-off with one wood is necessary , but it is also a good choice with fairway woods. Even a good kick, the second greens will be more difficult, because the greens is also uphill. Club selection is very important, if they want to stop the ball in the front of hole.

Count from the last landing, bunkers are 307-357 yards away, around the corner of the dogleg right. The Best tee is away from the right bunker, on the left of fairway and shorten the second shot. Some holes of No. 8 hole are very difficult, it is better to use one more in the uphill time.
9. Before entering the last nine holes, 9 holes is a good scoring opportunities. It is a par 4 with 426 yards. The key is to ensure that the ball landed between the bunker. Greens are larger, so some holes are challenging. It is difficult in the front left position, because the green from front to back slide. When the green flag is on the right, this hole will increase by one to two pars.
10. The hole 10 is a par four with 442 yards. Originally it was 421 yards dogleg right, it will be 20 more yards when shotting from the last tee. There are a pair of bunkers 260-310 yards away. The left of green are surrounded by bunkers. Players need to pay attention to this point, it is best to stop the ball in the front of hole.
11. The hole 11 has 457 yards. Dogleg left turn very anxious. So take a very accurate ball, it's easier to get the green at second shot. bunkers are 310 yards.

The U.S.PGA Championship, known as the "final glory," is the last men's Grand Slam this year. After Lee Jones' transformation, compared to 2001, the Atlanta Athletic Club's Mountain Course become more narrow, more long and the putting greens become faster and more difficult.
1. The 1st hole is 454 yards long, it is a par four. This is a good starting hole, giving players a good birdie opportunity. New landings increased its length by 25 yards, but improve angle, it is easier to control the ball when play with the dogleg left. This can use the fireway wood 1, but 3-wood or iron has a better chance. Right to left tee shot will make the ball reach the desired landing point, and then a short iron can hit the ball on the green . A row of tall trees guard the left side of the fairway, fairway bunkers right of 295-335 yards. Offensive player can try to replace the 1st of wood in the corner, with a pitching wedge, but need to ensure that his turn just right in order to account for an edge. The key of next shot is to play lower than the hole.
2. Under normal circumstance, this hole is a par 5 hole, but for the Grand Slam, it transferred into a par 4. Landings extend to 512 yards long, makes this hole a very difficult par 4. Right-click the ball, then the ball will be landing in a very narrow, with bunkers place. Position of the fairway bunker is on the right side of 256-344 yards. For most players, the role of fireway wood One is similar to a wood or long iron. The left side of fairway woods is the woods and deep high grass area. Green surrounded by bunkers, there are many small slope. It would be a good score if you can par this hole.
3. Par 4 hole No.3, 475 yards is one of the most difficult hole in the first nine holes. With the antidromic wind, it potentially increase the length and difficulty of the hole. The position of landing is critical, players prefer to those relatively left fairway. Because the 269-343 yards right of the fairway, there are a series of large bunkers. It seems those are the all difficults, but it is almost impossible to hit the ball on the green from the right bunkers and trees.
4. Players' performance of this hole will determine the championship of 93th PGA . Compared to some of the difficult par three, the fourth hole of 219 yards looks like a pediatrician. In front of THE Green is a lake, encircling the entire left side, incidentally, to outflank the back. New landings increased by 15 yards. If there is wind, players club selection will be entangled. Most players will use the long ball marked with a long iron or long and narrow type of greens. If the hole is in the former right, it may have the opportunity to hit the bird. Otherwise, this hole is best to save par.
5. In 2001, we all got the lowest points in the No. 5 hole. Then it made some adjustments here and an increase of 25 fairways yards, total length to 565 yards makes it more difficult. Only the long hitters can have a good chance to hirt the putting green with two shots. The chance of Birdie is to stay the ball near the hole.
6. The difficulty of the 6th hole is medium and it is also a good chanmce of birdie. the ideal tee is the position of central-right fairway. if the last landing has 425 yards, most players will choose to hit the front left of the green, then chipped in with the irons. But then decimal code shows use the the formeer landings, so player should take risks to make a risk - reward the ball. Accurate and correct distance is particularly important in this hole.
7. The 7th holes is 184 yards and it is a par 3. The new landing has increased the length to 195 yards. In 2001 the hole had a lot of birdies, ther are not much changes after re-design. The difficult point is when attack the green by using Iron, but green is very narrow. Hard and uneven Bermuda grass greens will challenge the best iron players. The hole par is a good score, but at any time, a Tour player will create good conditions for himself, so it also has the opportunity to make birdies.

What's in Jim Furyk's bag
I've put myself in a unique situation when I'm free to choose the clubs I like because I don't have a 10- or 12-club minimum contract. I spent lots of time in testing the golf ball and made that my priority. It enhances my strengths and my weaknesses. I've been able to make other changes in my bag through the first half of the year at my own pace, finding the right mix of clubs. It's what I wanted.
I wanted "99" on my TaylorMade Penta TP, but Justin Rose had it. I added the birthdates of my wife and kids and came up with 58. I don't have to mark it much. It's the only 58 out there.
I've played new TaylorMade drivers, but I like the TaylorMadeR11 Driver much(8 degrees, Oban Devotion shaft, 75 grams, X-flex, 45 inches).
I bend my wedge lofts: 51-degree Callaway X Forged, 55-degree TaylorMade TP xFT and a 59-degree Callaway X Series Jaws.
I switched to these Callaway RAZR X muscle-back irons at Bay Hill. All my grips are Lamkin Crossline Tour Midsize built up on the left hand and thin on the right because of my double overlapping grip.
I play a TaylorMade Burner SuperFast 2.0 3-wood (15 degrees, Fujikura Motore Speeder 8.2 shaft, X-flex).
I used to skip the 4-iron in my set, but now I go with two hybrids (TaylorMade Rescue 11, 18 and 21 degrees, Fujikura Motore F3 shafts, X-flex).
