Inside the mind of Justin Rose

Published

on

“So what?” says Justin Rose.

Rose fell four strokes short in his chase of 21-year old Jordan Spieth at The Masters on Sunday, but based on this video, he’s thinking “so what?” — the same thing he thought when he won the U.S. Open at Merion in 2013.

Rose recognizes golf is a win-some, lose-some sport, and it’s best to live in the moment, put everything you have on the line and not worry about outcome.

Work hard, stay within your process, and good things will come. That seems to be Rose’s mental approach to professional golf, and it seems to keep him very grounded.

Win the U.S. Open? So what. Lose The Masters? So what.

There’s no “I’ll be happy when…” with Rose. It’s already “as good as it gets.”

    Good reminder; Good Philosiphy. “As good as it gets”… just like that Jack Nicholson/ Helen Hunt movie… so many of us are living like some day I’ll do this or some day I’ll get that, or I’ll be happy when…. Folks, those somedays may or may not happen; so what Keep striving, but be grateful and enjoy the life you have.

    IMO, by far the most interesting interview of all tour golfers. Rose tells it like it is in always fascinating ways.

What GolfWRXers are saying about Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons which he has in the bag at this week’s CJ Cup. WRXers have been commenting on the switch and the clubs themselves in our forums.

For lots more photos, check out the full thread here.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • btyh: “Holy offset.”
  • Glf_LU: “These are interesting. Not going to make a rush to judgement until I see them in person. It does look like a little more offset than I would expect to see in this model.”
  • bcflyguy1: “Kisner is not one to make a lot of equipment changes (see the GBB driver he’s still using), so if these do have staying power in his bag that will be interesting to see. I have to wonder if there’s something different about his set, because like others have mentioned there appears to be more offset on his than I recall seeing in the samples I’ve had in hand.”

WATCH: PGA Tour players play hole blindfolded and it’s hilarious/amazing

Published

on

As part of a Srixon campaign, four PGA Tour players recently participated in a three-hole challenge, with each hole being a different game; hole No. 1 was blindfolded, hole No. 2 was costumes and distractions, and hole No. 3 was alternate shot with a baseball bat. The teams were Smylie Kaufman and Sam Ryder against Shane Lowry and Grayson Murray.

Watch the full video below, since it is quite entertaining (albeit not the type of golf that Old Tom Morris surely had in mind), but in particular, make sure to check out the first hole where Lowry and Ryder play a full hole completely blind folded. It’s amazing to watch how badly Ryder struggles, and how Lowry nearly makes par.

Cleveland-Srixon’s marketing department has been hard at work crafting these viral-esque ad campaigns; if you remember, former long-drive champion Jamie Sadlowski recently dressed as 80-year-old Grandpa Jamie to fool range-goers. That video has since gathered over 1.2 million views on YouTube.
