15 Revealing Photos from the PGA, Web.com and NCAA

Published

on

It’s been a busy couple weeks for our Tour photographer; he’s covered the Tour Championship for both the Web.com and the PGA Tour, the NCAA Northern Kentucky Fall Classic and the NCAA Collegiate Challenge.

If you missed any of the galleries, what have you been doing this whole time? I mean… you can browse through them in the links below:

We have a lot of tours to cover and photos to reveal, so let’s get right to it.

Patrick Reed’s bag prank on Danny Lee…

It’s a classic trick often seen in junior and college golf where you turn someone’s golf clubs upside down in their bag. From first-hand experience, it’s quite a nuisance rearranging the clubs.

It’s time to get in the spirit of the Presidents Cup! But for some golf fans, unfortunately, the Presidents Cup merely means it’s time to begin counting down until the Ryder Cup.

Lee McCoy is an O.G. gear head

Nickent 3Dx ironwood? Nike VRS fairway wood? While most of the new age golfers keep up with the latest gear, it looks like Lee McCoy is a traditionalist. Very refreshing.

He also has some funny Caddyshack-inspired wedge stampings on his Callaway MD3 Milled wedges

Movie quote wedge stampings just never get old. Or at least they haven’t yet.

Way better than the Dayton Flyers, named after a dangerous lie in the rough that’s sure to go sailing over the green.

Looks as though the Nike Vapor Fly fairway wood is lie-angle adjustable

And the new Nike Vapor Fly metal woods look a lot like Nike Flykit Trainer sneakers, a big hit at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games.

Rory’s new Nike putter

9c5e4d9a6f7146092c333a6106165ab9We spotted Rory’s putter change at the 2015 Tour Championship.

It’s apparent that blue has taken over for Victory Red and Volt, both seen in previous lines, as the dominant color for this year’s Nike clubs throughout the bag.

And as for the grooves on Nike putters, it seems they’re only getting more pronounced.

Remember when Robert Streb made five birdie putts with his wedge?

297666b9c605f7920c54766e16d8a564He got this stamped on his wedge to commemorate that round.

It’s a known fact that Chuck Norris doesn’t need a putter; he just roundhouse kicks the ball into the hole.

4 ways to tell this guy isn’t a PGA professional

  1. He’s wearing shorts.
  2. He’s wearing the hat of the tournament he’s playing in.
  3. His glasses are hanging down in the way of his swing.
  4. He’s wearing his glove on the wrong hand.

    If I could produce that sort of wear mark on my driver, it would not matter what brand, model or shaft; I’d be a happy golfer.

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.

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.

  • PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
  • driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300.  The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length.  I am playing a Ventus Red 70.   I play 70 grams in my fairways.  I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee.  When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time.  So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck.  The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
  • JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”
