2011 McGladrey's Classic Picture Comment Thread

J-Bird going with the MP-59s? Awesome.

[Dizz]

Looks like CHIII is up to his usual tricks...

[ProjectX_Mizuno]

Is Byrd really gaming the MP59s?

[Puppetmaster]

Bridgestone's FB page said Kuchar is "debuting" the J40 430cc driver today... any pics? I'm going through the pics but nothing on his bag yet, only Sneds and DLIII.

Edit - I did see the in-hand pics thread, so I don't know why I'm asking, lol.

[Puppetmaster]

Who is this guy? Pretty funny.

Scott Piercy. Win in Reno this year. Great guy

What does Heath Slocum have strapped on to him?

[Hifade]

Great pics as always but I did think I was viewing the 'lil Rickie Fowler Show. That God awful hat he sportin' with his ears tucked in, is pathetic in my opinion. I just don't see it. Oh well, hope they play well. The Sea Island area is incredible.

Do you have to ruin every thread you post in with this crap?

We understand already, you dont like change, colors or flat billed hats.

He is wearing a K-Vest. Basically it is a training vest you wear that his hooked up to a computer. The vest can sense the postions your body is in. If you are in the "correct" positions the computer creates a tone that lets you know it. Slocum is the K-Vest poster boy. I'm sure there is more too it than that but that is the basic rundown I got when I went to a indoor training facility that uses the K-Vest.

Greg,

Thank you for taking and editing so many pictures.

Any more Machine pics at the McGladrey's? I'd like to see a bit more of them when they are at events.

Thanks,
Serge

[size="2"]Ruin every thread I post in? Really? How long have you been around here sport?[/size]

[size="2"]So, let's review. You've decided to call me out with 2 different posts, in 2 separate threads, in the past 10 minutes where I expressed my opinion about the flat brim hats. Neither of which did I say a word about you or your opinion about that product, the fashion sense it seemingly creates or the look it portrays. Clearly, you like 'em, good for you. Buy them, wear them and have a ball. You have that right. However, where do you get off carefully choosing insults aimed at me about "the old days, shin highs, Foot-Joys, colors, change and all my crap," as you so eloquently put it. You have no idea what I wear, what I do, who I am or what I like. Since when did my opinion of objects and products insult who you are? I never brought you up or into any of my comments. You can talk about your likes and dislikes without aiming them at other people's posts and opinions. If you can't I suggest you learn how. Finally, I think the entire WRX community would appreciate it you refrain from generalizations about people you are clueless about.[/size]

I know it's a hot button for both sides of the RF fan base or hater base so I don't want to miss an opportunity to get the discussion rolling.

Ignorance has no relevance to tenure. You also have no idea about anybody else here, and its [b][u]HIGHLY HYPOCRITICAL[/u][/b] that you talk about refraining from generalizations and insults about people youve never met. This is your gem of a post from another thread (having nothing to do with flat bills) and I quote:

"Amen. The whole flat brimmed, tuck your ear under the hat "thing"makes ya look like a pissed off rapper from the hood. Next thing they'll be trying to do is push gold chains with a massive gold golf ball on the buying public (kids) as around the neck jewelry and telling them how "in style" that is. Kids will be running around with two black eyes from playing golf because the gold ball on the pimp necklaces would be hitting them in the face every time they swing their clubs. Yeah...real cool."

So please take your own advice. This is the second thread you did this in that have nothing to do with them. By all means make a thread in the style section about them, thats your right and everybodys right. I am not insulted in the least, I just prefer to spare the pissing match that tends to follow. Do keep this crap out of threads about other topics especially how you can clearly see how it derails them in .1 seconds. Kapeesh?

Back to your scheduled program

I'm with ya....he's got lots of fans and is coming off a nice win last week abroad. As I said, I hope they all play well, and enjoy the week. How can you not enjoy such a great place?

Swiftwick performance socks are on both the PGA Tour & LPGA Tour physio trucks to help any of the players who might be have foot problems. The are the best compression/performance socks out there, bar none. More PGA Players and caddies were Swiftwicks then any other brand of true performance socks (not talking about the cheap cotton socks that most players will wear i.e., Nike, Addidas, FJ).

Disclaimer: I do not work for them but I do wear their socks!




Greg

[Ham Solo]

As always, thanks for the pics, Greg. And thanks for the info on the socks.

[gjoliver]

love Rickie's pink shirt and shoes.

[pdaero]

Greg - love the pics! Seems like a stunning course with history, and can't wait for some more coverage.

[AlexMac]

Acushnet have done pretty well in getting the Footjoy logo on to Rickie Fowler's caddie's cap - neither Rickie nor his caddie wear anything Footjoy (even Rickie uses a Titleist glove), and obviously the cap has been personalised because there is a massive Bushnell logo on it, yet there is a Footjoy logo on the side. Good work!

[SPY ZINGER]

I spent six months near Sea Island a few years back. Good to see the pics of the area again. That bridge is the trademark of the Golden Isles. Well done!

Bridgestone's FB page said Kuchar is "debuting" the J40 430cc driver today... any pics? I'm going through the pics but nothing on his bag yet, only Sneds and DLIII.

This driver looks sick (the 430 version)... Love the look of the small head and the superdeep like face.

So was that the Bassara W that Crane won with?

I think its Wednesday Part2 with the balls on the range....can someone explain what a Callaway iS Pro and a Srixon Z Star 2 is?
[/quote]

Srixon Z-Star 2, is the 2nd generation Z-Star that was released in March of this year (Z-star, would be the 2009 version, Z-Star 2 is the current ball.) The Z-Star 2 has a softer, thinner cover and a larger core.
