Ogilvy Match Play Master

Geoff Ogilvy managed to give the impression that he was playing a casual round on a pleasant Sunday afternoon, rather than in the finals of the Accenture Match Play Championship. Hit the ball, take a little stroll, hit the ball again, stroll some more, no hurry, no rush, no big deal. Get to the green, knock the ball in the hole, move on to the next tee. I thought to myself, self I thought, this is the visual definition of unflappable.

There were times where I wondered, is this guy even awake? When he wasn’t moving it appeared he may have died standing up. And hit shots? Oh my did he hit some shots. Poor Paul Casey, every time he got something going Mr. Ogilvy topped him. “This afternoon, three birdies in the first eight holes and I still lost two holes,” Casey said. “Geoff was exceptional.”

How exceptional you might ask? Well how about never trailing for the last 63 holes? Or no bogeys in the last 48 holes? Or this little ditty, 25 under par over his 66 holes on the weekend. Somehow exceptional seems too common a description. It does fit into that quote better than he left Puma spike marks deeply embedded on the backsides of three pretty good players. When your butt has been used as a whoopie cushion for a day that’s about as diplomatic as one could get.

“This tournament has been pretty good to me,” Ogilvy said. Oh really, considering his record in this event is 17-2 and he’s won two of the last four years I would say it’s the other way around, he’s been pretty good for this tournament.

Tiger Woods returned to competitive golf this week, but only stayed a couple of days. Rory McIllroy showed what winning on the European Tour can do for confidence by playing quite well. Of course with his talent playing quite well is just about the mental part of the game now. Watch this kid closely, he has impressive skills. Stewart Cink made it to the semi finals this year after reaching the final last year. I can’t quite figure this guy out, he can play really well for a while, and then fall into a weekend hacker imitation that leaves an audience scratching an itch they didn’t know they had. Weird player. Weirder game, which may be all the answer one needs.

So we’re off to Florida for the Honda Classic.

With the PGA Tour across the border in Canada this week, GolfWRX Tour Photographer Greg Moore stayed stateside and headed to the OccuNet Classic presented by Amarillo National Bank in Amarillo, Texas.

It’s always interesting to see what the guys are playing on the KFT, and this week certainly hasn’t disappointed so far, with some incredible wedge stamping on display.

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @HuskerFlyer is sharing a Scotty Cameron GOLO with a BGT Stability Tour2 2022 M Edition shaft. While the putter is certainly enviable, the Augusta-inspired shaft is equally noteworthy.

A reminder from your friends at GolfWRX: Father’s Day is June 21. And as we do every year, we’re rounding up the best gifts for dad.

As we say every year, there’s no better golf-related Father’s Day gift than a round of golf with pops. Be it a country club or your favorite muni, take the time to get together to play 18 if you can.

Let’s get to the gifts.

Ghost Golf Qualifier Diamond Polo

We like the new polos that Ghost is offering, as the fabric and fit are so good. These new Qualifier Collection polos breathe well, are lightweight, stretch with your swing, and of course look great. You can wear them on the course, in the office, or just out at a casual event and they will fit right in.

STR8-Strip Grip Tape Remover

If your dad is an equipment aficionado and tinkers with his clubs, this tool works wonders. Removing grip tape has never been easier, just put a little head on the tape and the STR8-Strip peals it right off the shaft without any damage.

Why Golf: Putting Thing

When it comes to practice, it is good to have a purpose. This “Putting Thing” sure does it. We know from personal experience how challenging it can be and how rewarding it is on the practice green. This also provides some competition for your kiddo to see who will unload the dishwasher or do the next chore around the house.

OluKai Lae‘ahi Men’s Breathable Slip-On Shoes

Riding to and from the course in style and comfort is always a good thing. If you’re in a hurry, it’s a nice feature to slide into your shoes and get to the tee time. For the post-game shoe, at your locker or while putting your clubs away in the car. Nice to slide into a shoe that looks good anywhere. Pair that with meeting the family for dinner, no need to change!

Therabody Theragun Relief

A little wellness goes a long way. Keeping loose is a good way to go when it comes to the weekend game or treatment during the week. If there is a little ache or pain, the Theragun is there to help out. Help loosen up the back for a pre-game warm-up or cool-down.
