Rory hooks up random Facebook commenter with old Nike driver
Imagine this: You see Rory McIlroy post something on Facebook, and jokingly ask him for one of his old Nike drivers in the comments. He’ll probably never see it, but what the heck — why not?
Well, in this case, not only did McIlroy see the comment on his official Facebook account, but promised to send the commenter a Nike Covert driver that he used to game.
Here’s the original post from McIlroy, who’s in Shanghai for the WGC-HSBC Champions event:
And here’s where McIlroy pleasantly surprises the commenter, who responds with disbelief, promising to send him a Nike Covert driver:
The Nike Covert drivers have indeed served McIlroy quite well. He won the 2014 Open Championship and PGA Championship with a Nike Covert 2.0 Tour driver in his bag. Also, back in 2013, McIlroy sent a Tweet of his Trackman numbers with a Nike Covert driver. Hint: “320 yards” is him being humble.
Currently, he’s using Nike’s new Vapor Fly Pro driver, which he was first spotted gaming at the 2015 Turkish Airlines Open last week where he finished T6.

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

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
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.
What happens when 4 #PGATOUR pros take a day off?
Luckily, the cameras were rolling.
Watch @shanelowrygolf, @graysonmurray, @smyliekaufman10, and @samrydersu in #SrixonVS. pic.twitter.com/C4LJwQgmZ7— Srixon (@SrixonGolf) June 25, 2018
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.

Awesome I love this story!
Rory is a fantastic young man, well done Rors
Reminds me of an article from circa1991 in Golf Monthly from the British Open, Jose Maria Olazabal had not hit his 3 wood very well and after hitting it walked over to a young teenager in the crowd and handed him the 3 wood( May have been a Maruman?) and the article ? It was titled “Spoon fed”

All the more reason why I like this young man. I’d say the future of golf is in very good hands.
