Anyone else notice Sabbatini still sportin' that God awful "cowboy hat" and this one had Penta and Burner logos on it from his TM days while now representing for Adams. Also, interesting driver in his bag. Looks like a TM driver with a black face, white crown and has some adjustability to it. Not sure.......maybe Adams has something like that now but I haven't see it.

Rory is sponsored by Taylomade... the bag in the foreground belongs to Chad Campbell. Also Rory had some skin cancer issues I believe, thus the hat.
[/quote]

That's right. I thought he was sponsored by TM now......he used to be with Adams I believe, wasn't he for a short time? As far as his "lid" goes....what ever you need to do to cover up I guess. I do think Briny Baird's wide brim is a bit more fashionable though.

Calc, as noted, had i5's in his bag. Interesting, he won this summer on the Champions Tour with Anser irons.

Love to see the fw or hybrid under those i20 covers.

Couple of my thoughts and opinions. Someone needs to enlighten Ricky Fowler about what a haircut is. (Ok, let the Ricky man-crushers flame away).
Next thing you know, he'll be pullin' it back into a "Miguel tail."

Cool bird....or pelican, or whatever it is......looks mean too.

C'mon man. If I had a bout with skin cancer, I'd wear a burqa if I had to in order to keep the cancer from coming back. Rip on Rory's demeanor if you'd like, but there is a good reason why he wears that style of hat.

Love the course. Always fun event to watch as the guys are really relaxed.

Any chance you might have some time to get to the Bettinardi Studio to get some shots?

Contacted Ben in Chicago (he's not down here). He has tried to make contact with their fitter down here to set me up but no word back yet.

Last I knew one of the guys TJ was running it. He is really nice and a putter ho. Hopefully things work out! Thanks.

First time going to a golf event, and heading here on Sunday anyone have recommendations for getting the most out of it? Have all access passes from a resident/member so looking forward to it, especially the parking

It's not crowded at all there so you can get up close. Pick a few spots where you wan to watch from and watch 4-5 groups come through and head to a spot ahead and watch them again. After that you can follow someone around if you want.

Not sure if anyone has noticed or said anything yet but looks like Ricky Fowler changed his putter this week. He had that blacked out Cameron Newport 2 type putter in his bag the majority of the year. Today when I watched I first noticed it was a crome shaft and it likes like a 2.5 neck.

Anyone confirm this? I didn't see any pictures of it but with all the Ricky man love out there I'm sure Im not the first one that noticed.

[Ed Settle]

I am sure O'Hair is sporting some of the new TM woods under those head covers. And I am also sure the putter in Monday part #1 is one of the new models. IN-12 maybe?
Great pictures for sure. Thanks, guys.

Hey Greg,

solid pics, much appreciated.

Any shots of AK and his caddie? I heard hes changing for 2012.

He used a GSS Circa 62 #3, deep milled. Saw that today as well, certainly looked like one of the new Cali series. There were some pics on here not too long ago of him on the putting green rolling the new Cali lines, guess he decided to make the switch.

Asked RF about the new putter yesterday when I saw he had two in the bag. He sort of like no big deal, just trying it out. Didn't pay much attention to it today to see if he was using it. I'll watch for it tomorrow.

N/m found it.

Ak has someone new, any word who he is?

Not the best shots of AK's caddy cuz I don't usually worry about getting shots of the caddies.

That sort of surprises me a little. Sean usually is like Sergio and ho's the new stuff. He did hit what ever driver he is baggin' pretty well today. Thanks, Greg.

Doesn't surprise me. I don't think he gets stressed over a lot haha. Clearly he isn't a true WRX'er though, as we would have had a 10min long explanation of said putter and why we were using it haha.

I'm sure Sean would want to use it but T/M is being very tight with the new woods, especially Drivers. My guess is that T/M doesn't want them in play where I could get a photo. CH,III asked me to show him photos cuz he hasn't seen the driver. Said he will get one to test in the next week or so.


Greg

[GatorNate11]

Odd question, but does anyone know if Rickie has a WRX account? I was bored and on youtube one day and saw a video of Rickie and I swear it looked like he had WRX pulled up on his laptop. Yes I know, I remember odd things lol. I'm not trying to find it or anything, I just want to know if I saw it correctly.

[spring70]

Does anyone know what brand headcovers Price has?

[nikegolfer1983]

Whats up with Justin Leonard using a burner 2.0 white FW Wood? Is he leaving club Nike???

I think Sean has been a R9/R11 guy and CH III Burner. Is the BUZZ about the R11 S or RBZ in the Driver?

Thanks for the pics, as usual! I just KNEW I was seeing some sort of "flow" neck on Rickie's putter when I was watching briefly yesterday (the shot he hit with said putter out of a bunker/waste area). But until this thread, I couldn't find anything on the web about it.

Not sure if we can really call that a flow neck, though. It's so long, it might be almost face balanced?
