Adam Scott reveals what his new 1-of-1 custom Miura irons offer him ahead of 2022 US Open

Published

on

Adam Scott’s 1-of-1 custom Miura irons grabbed plenty of attention when the Aussie brought them out on the range a couple of weeks back at the Memorial Tournament.

The 41-year-old announced that week on his social media that the irons were going in play, and the decision paid off, with Scott finishing the week second in the field for strokes gained: approach. The Aussie gained eight strokes over the field with the new irons at Muirfield; his best strokes gained: approach performance in three years.

Unsurprisingly, Scott will be sticking with the irons this week at Brookline, and ahead of his bid to land a second major, he spoke to our Andrew Tursky about the iron’s backstory and what they give him, with versatility being a key component.

“I wanted to start playing around with the sole design on my irons because I’d noticed some performance difference on different types of grass, and of course, you can’t change your irons every week for grass. But you need something very versatile, and I felt it was worth maybe looking at flattening and widening out the sole a little bit from what I was playing.

“Something for firmer type grass, the Open Championship comes to mind, Bermuda even if it’s firm, and even here (Brookline), it’s very tight. It’s a Rye, and it’s a Bent, very tight, but that sharper leading edge and wider sole may just be what I’m wanting to do. So Miura very kindly listened to my requests and knocked up this set, and a nice surprise came when they stamped my initials on them.”

“Is it a Titleist?” – Jerry Seinfeld shares never-before-heard details of iconic scene

Published

on

On Thursday, legendary comedian Jerry Seinfeld joined the Rich Eisen Show and shared an awesome story from a “Seinfeld” episode titled “The Marine Biologist.”

In the episode, a golf ball goes into the blow hole of a whale. According to Seinfeld, that was never in the episode’s script.

Seinfeld recalls saying the night before the filming of the episode, “What if what puts the whale in distress is Kramer’s golf ball?”

“He’s hitting golf balls at the beach. George is at the beach with a girl, we haven’t connected them!”

“We write that speech the night before at two o’clock in the morning…The sea was angry that day my friend.”

Kramer finishes the iconic scene by asking “Is it a Titleist?” Seinfeld told Eisen the show sought Titleist’s permission to mention its name, saying the ball had to be a Titleist. Fortunately for lovers of the iconic show, the company agreed.

If (somehow) you’re unfamiliar with the scene, check it out below.

While speaking with Bloomberg, golf legend Phil Mickelson acknowledged that he is inching close towards retirement.

“I’m 53 now,” Phil said, “and my career, you know, it’s — if I’m being truthful, it’s on — it’s — it’s — I’m a — it’s towards its end.”

Mickelson added that one of his focuses now is helping other young players.

“Now, I would like to help others find the same enjoyment and fulfillment that the game has provided me. I’d like them to experience that as well.”

The six-time major champion credited LIV with reaching new markets in golf to help it grow.

“I think that’s exciting for everyone involved in the game because we are going to reach markets that we didn’t reach before. I think it’s going to inspire more golf courses, inspire more manufacturers selling clubs and equipment, but also inspiring young kids to try to play golf professionally. I just see that the game of golf is going to grow on a much more global basis because of the excitement and the presence that LIV Golf has.”

Mickelson is playing at this week’s LIV Singapore and shot a first round 72 (+1).

Tiger explains why golf has ‘negative connotations’ for daughter Sam

Published

on

While Tiger Woods’ son, Charlie, has certainly inherited his father’s love for golf, his daughter, Sam, has not.

On Wednesday, Tiger made an appearance on The Today Show with Carson Daly and explained his daughter’s relationship with golf.

“Golf has negative connotations for her. When she was growing up, golf took daddy away from her. I had to pack, I had to leave, and I was gone for weeks. So, there were negative connotations to it.

“We developed our own relationship and our own rapport outside of golf. We do things that doesn’t involve golf. Meanwhile, my son and I, everything we do is golf related.”

The nine-minute interview touches on plenty of other subjects, such as Tiger’s relationship with his late father, Earl.

It’s arguably the most open we’ve seen the 15-time major champion in an interview and is most definitely worth watching.
