Kevin Na: My video was supposed to be funny!

Published

on

Before we get to this story, ask yourself these two questions.

  1. What is Kevin Na’s reputation among golf fans?
  2. Watching his “fescue video,” did you perceive it was intended as a joke?

Na’s pre-tournament video showing the length of the fescue a few yards off the fairway and his efforts to find a ball in the stuff caused quite a stir.

Now, Na is either backpedaling in the face of blowback or trying to clarify his original intention, depending on your perspective.

“I think people overreacted with the video. It was meant to be funny,” Na told Golf Channel. “I was just trying to show the fans the rough, and what we have inside the ropes, because people don’t get to see that close up… I think if I had laughed about it during the video instead of making it more like the news, I think people would have got a better kick out of it, maybe.”

At what point in the course of the video was there any suggestion Na found the fescue a source of comedy? That he, himself, was getting a kick out of looking for his ball? Or that his suggestion players should take over the running of the U.S. Open was merely a silly scenario?

Nothing in the form of content of Na’s video indicated it was “meant to be funny.” And certainly Na’s reputation as, well, not a comedian, didn’t help popular perception of the video.

So, if he wants to save himself future headache, Kevin Na may want to consult some of the writers from Saturday Night Live to write the script of his next video.

    At least he’s not spitter. It’s like a light rain shower out there. It’s not like these guys are working up a sweat. Or have we missed the point entirely and it’s a cultural thing!

    When he said “the ball is gone”… I’m fairly certain he was having a laugh. He knew he hit it. You guys are way, way off the mark.

    Keep in mind, this is coming from the same guy who sprinted his way through a sub-2 hour round in the Tour Championship. Na’s just a weird dude.

      Yup, this. Everyone’s always on this guy’s case for no reason. He got over the driver yips, he’s sped his game up, he’s trying to embrace social media, give the guy a break.

    I knew he was being funny. I think there must be a lot of people in this world with no sense of humor at all. Which is rather frightening.

      Its the USGA that REALLY needs a sense of humour!

    Would it be too much to ask for a link to said video?

    I’ve seen Na interviewed before and he comes of as a funny guy compared to the other guys on tour.

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

Published

on

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

Published

on

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.

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.
