Do a quick search for 7-woods on GOLF.com and you’re bound to find a few articles proclaiming it as the club du jour.

Herbie J Pilato

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

The Green Heron (Butorides virescens) is found throughout Kentucky, but populations are lower in heavily forested areas where suitable nesting habitat is less available. The Green Heron, a member of Family Ardeidae, first identified in the scientific literature by Swedish biologist and naturalist Carl Linnaeus in 1758, includes 72 species of freshwater and coastal birds, some of which are referred to as egrets or bitterns rather than herons.
