Interesting in Monday part 2, NOH has another logo on his nike top on his right sleeve, I thought that Nike didn't allow any other logo's on their clothing and just a limited amount on the golf bag???

[Sean25rp]

Great pics as always, thanks. Loads of rockstar!

[Puppetmaster]

Great pics, thanks guys.

Inevitably, here are my questions and comments:

• What shaft is in SY Noh's driver? Looks like a black and white Tour AD of some sort.
  
• Any details on Garrigus' Adams contract? I know TM owns Adams, but just curious to see what Adams clubs he might be playing.
  
• I love that gray Nike staff bag.
  
• Love the #Xhotbomb on the new Callaway trailer.
  
• There has been a mix up, the MRC boxes pictured here, should have been delivered to me.

Can't wait for more pics... keep up the great work...

At least to answer number 1, It looks like a BB to me. Maybe the lighting is making it look black?

[TheMoneyShot]

Thanks for another week of cool pics!!!

Thanks, didn't think of that. I also just remembered that GD once provided Adam Scott with black and white DIs because he said the orange was distracting.

[dutxdeanster]

Love the work you guys do...thanks!

[MarkFromTheUK]

Awesome pics as always guys.

The 2013 Ping bag looks fantastic... then I hit page down and saw the RBZ Stage 2 staff bag... yuck, talk about one extreme to the other!


Is Sir Phil likely to roll up today, or will he stroll in tomorrow? Am looking forward to seeing what's in his bag for '13 (the start of it anyway... )

[mrgolf147]

Does anyone know what training aid Ishikawa has leaning up against his bag?  Looks like a more flexible orange whip on steroids - can't find it anywhere.

[douggolf4]

What is the name of the player with Tommy Hilfiger, Titleist, and the sick mustache?

[JaxBeachNole]

Those new Super Strokes look neato. Any idea when they will be available?

Also is that second one the 4.0 size?

That would be 2-time PGA Tour winner DJ Trahan.  His father told me he has a conditional Access Tour Card this season, when I asked.  I believe Trahan has placed well in this event in his past.

[leftygolfer15]

Who's the lefty in the TM hat?

Brian Harman is with TM and lefty but not sure if I shot him or if he had a hat on.  So just a guess.

Hey Greg,

That was my guess. I know Brian personally and that just doesn't look like him to me. Maybe it's just the angle. Also he's been with that TM Manta proto putter for awhile now, so it would be a big change to the sweet new black Cameron Studio Select NP2.

Sabo was putting left hand on the practice green today.  Don't remember if he had a hat on

Yes Sabo

I believe its the Speed Whoosh from momentus golf

Nice pics as usual!  Love the individual WITB threads!  

Tommy Gainey's bag is starting to look like a college football helmet.  I guess that's the inspiration behind the bomb patches?  Anyway, he must be able to really bomb it.  Each of those is for drives over 325, right?

Callaway is for sure the bomber's OEM this year.

[turk19772008]

Thanks for the great pics

It may be a Tour AD EV.  Hard to tell if there's gold rings too.

Does anyone know what this is? Pedometer?

Yes, the Humana Challenge passes the pedometers out all week.

[DrCRHop]

I have to assume that Mr. Parnevik recovered from his injury last spring (finger).  At the time there was some question as to whether it would end his career.

[leftygolfer15]

Greg, any pics of the new Adams tour only LSP hybrid coming? Would love to see a pic comparison between the 2 new models.

[Puppetmaster]

Scott Stallings with a Fubuki AX 500 in a 712U??? Good LAAAAWWWDDDD!!!! Sorry, but that is sweet.

[Puppetmaster]

Did anyone ask him to do the Carlton dance?

[dalillama47]

Great pics as always.  Do we know who has the PP 9003's in their bag?  Full set or a combo with something else?

[DrCRHop]

Every time I've seen him on TV at the Tahoe event he breaks it out - but there is usually a pretty big crowd at the Par 3 near the lake.

That's sort of why I asked, I feel like that's all people care about now, like that's his only legacy.
