Twitter heavyweight fight: Ian Poulter and Brandel Chamblee do battle
Ian Poulter went from losing his Tour card (we thought) to finishing tied for second at The Players Championship in a period of weeks.
While Poults’ effort to chase down Si Woo Kim, who won by three strokes, was lauded in most circles, a certain moppy gray-haired polemicist took issue.
Golf Channel’s Brandel Chamblee suggested Poults “clearly did not play to win” the tournament. His comments seemed to come to Poulter’s attention via another Golf Channel personality (on Twitter, of course). Here’s the what Poulter had to say about Brandel’s remarks.
Sorry to disappoint, I can only dream of being as good as Brandel.. it’s clearly very easy sitting on your arse… thanks for the support. https://t.co/hK8rs8NcXW

As a general rule, you had better be pretty darn certain an athlete of any variety isn’t doing his utmost to win before calling him out for such.
To do so is like saying “Brandel Chamblee isn’t trying to fire up his best arbitrarily contrarian and incendiary takes for the sake of self-promotion.” We’d certainly think twice before leveling those particular charges.

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

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.

Brandel is Jim Rome’s clone. At first, its new, novel and fresh. Then quickly it becomes old, uninformed and predictable.

Sorry. Can’t take Brandel seriously after he became a mouthpiece for Tathata Golf. Poulter’s shot from the pine straw on 18 is the thing of legend. He came within inches of holing out!
Chamblee talks smack just to hear his own voice, and to see if anyone will one day walk onto the set and punch him in the face on live TV.
Go play on the senior tour Brandel. Let’s see how many trophies you hoist in the next 5 years.

I was standing 6 ft. in front of him when he hit it. TV doesn’t really show you how deep he was. It was the best shot I’ve ever seen live.
