February 23 -- Ian Poulter may be from Old England, but his golf gear has New England stamped all over it.

Poulter celebrated his first PGA Tour victory at the Accenture Match Play Championship by shooting an ad for Cobra Golf, a subsidiary of Massachusetts-based Acushnet Co.

“Just finished the Cobra commercial for 2010,” Poulter posted on his Twitter feed Monday night. “been a long but great day in palm springs, the commercials will be awesome. Now back 2 phoenix.”’

No Tiger Woods. Poulter, who jumped to fifth place in the world golf rankings after his Accenture victory, hopes to extend his good play in this week’s Phoenix Open (where Tiger Woods will not play, despite rumors to the contrary).

Poulter slugged a Cobra ZL driver and irons as well as fairway metals from sister firm, Titleist, on his way to a 4-and-2 match-play win Sunday.

Acushnet, of Fairhaven, MA, markets Cobra, Titleist, Pinnacle, and FootJoy golf equipment.

In neutral. While the Cobra driver has three ways to set the shaft -- closed, neutral, or open, depending on your flight preference -- Poulter chose the neutral mode, according to the PGA Tour.

Poulter is not reluctant to use a variety of clubs. Last week, Poulter employed a combination of Cobra and Titleist sticks.

In the bag. Here’s a snapshot (according to the PGA Tour) of Poulter’s most recent mix of golf clubs:

• Driver: Cobra ZL with Fujikura 6.0 Motore Speeder shaft
• Fairway metals: Titleist 909F2 3-woods (13.5 degrees of loft) with Rombax 7X07 shaft, 906F2 5-wood (18 degrees) with Grafalloy Prolite 35 shaft
• Hybrid: Titleist 909H (19 degrees) with Eldila NV Hybrid shaft
• Irons (4-7): Cobra Pro cavity backs with True Temper Sports Dyamic Golf 100s, X-flex shafts
• Irons (8-PW): Cobra Pro muscle backs with True Temper Sports Dyamic Golf 100s, X-flex shafts
• Wedges: Bob Vokey (54 and 60 degrees)
• Putter: Rife Aruba (due out in spring)

Poulter, of course, also hit a Titleist Pro V1x golf ball.

Tiger Woods may have apologized to his wife and his sponsors, but looks like that’s not enough for Gillette. Read how the Boston-based razor company may ditch its famous pitchman anyway.
