Here’s a peek behind the curtain into golf’s sanctuary.
What clubs will Tiger Woods play at the Safeway Open?
Have you heard this one? Tiger Woods is going to be gaming a TaylorMade driver, Mizuno irons, and a Bridgestone ball when he makes his return to professional golf at next week’s Safeway Open. So said NoLayingUp on Twitter. Not surprisingly, the claim, and the larger debate about what Woods will play in the wake of Nike’s imminent exit from the equipment space, has inspired a red-hot thread.
There have been more than 200 replies in just three days, so you’ll want to check this one out. See the thread.
Note: At 9:21 a.m. EST, Tiger Woods officially committed to play in the Safeway Open.
Reaction to Parnevik’s “Tiger is hitting like he did 15 years ago” claim
Jesper Parnevik got his shot in Golf Digest’s “My Shot,” and you’ll want to read what he had to say about how Tiger is hitting it as he prepares to return next week (spoiler: see the headline). Needless to say, the comment inspired both incredulity and a “fingers crossed” spirit.
See what WRXers have to say about Jesper’s remarks.
What to wear with solid black golf shoes?
Occasionally in FTF, we like to bring you some of the game’s eternal fashion conundrums (see: “Does anybody still wear khaki?”). This week: It’s user EmperorPenguin (there’s a joke in there somewhere about penguins wearing black shoes to match their black tuxedos) asking what he ought to wear with his solid black golf shoes.
To read the replies, or if you’re similarly confused yourself, see the thread.
The evolution of Ryder Cup fashion
A commentary on how the U.S. Ryder Cup attire has improved since the awful/legendary shirts at Brookline in 1999 (yes, those shirts), quickly turned into a discussion about whether the team’s clothing should be made in America.
Interesting thread! Check it out.
Changes to the PGA Tour logo?
As far as we can tell, Yahoo/Golf News Network’s Ryan Ballengee is the originator of this alteration to the PGA Tour’s logo featuring Arnold Palmer’s silhouette.
