Cleveland Custom 588 Driver Explosive Distance Giveaway
Driver giveaway? Does that mean a free driver? Yes, for three lucky participants, that’s exactly what it means.
In its Explosive Distance Giveaway, Cleveland Golf is awarding a 588 Custom driver to three winners who will be chosen at random in a contest that is running from now until June 30. All you need to do is click here, enter your first name, last name and e-mail address and wait to see if you get picked. That’s it.
The Cleveland Custom 588 driver that came out this year produces lower spin and higher launch than any driver in Cleveland’s catalog, and features two loft options (9 and 10.5 degrees) with 12 additional settings to tune the loft. Also, the driver has a weight port on the back of the club with three variable weights (3, 7 and 11-grams) to fit the golfer’s swing speed and preference.
Cleveland’s 588 Custom Driver retails for $349 and comes equipped with a Matrix Ozik 6Q3 shaft.
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.
Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @raw10628 has a L.A.B. DF3 putter and Masters putter cover up for grabs.
From the listing: “Some great items here today, time to thin out and make room for next set of gear. All prices include shipping.
LAB DF3 Purple 33.5” 68° lie with TPT – $725. LAB Masters release DF3 cover – $150.”

I would love to get a new driver!!! Been using an OLD R9 and can’t stop slicing the ball. My buddy has an old classic by Cleveland and he absolutely loves it! Hope to get a new stick and show it off to all the boys on our Tuesday league! Thanks Cleveland, wouldn’t expect anything less!

I just entered. This is the only club missing from my Cleveland fanboy setup. I don’t deserve to win, since all but 2 of my many Cleveland clubs were purchased 2nd hand, but a guy can dream can’t he?

Why all these giveaway contests are only for US residents? I am not a US resident but am a WRXer and I can provide a shippimg address within continental US. I believe there are plenty of us in the same situation.
WRX please do something in this respect.
Thanks

This is not a GolfWRX giveaway, as it’s run by Cleveland Golf.

Zac, I know this is not a GolfWRX giveaway but it is done through GolfWRX , so I thought GolfWRX could just ask the giveaway company to take this into accoun for future giveaways

Antonio,
This is purely a Cleveland giveaway. We’re just spreading the word so that one of our readers might have a chance to win.
Thanks.

This one is open to US and CDN residents. I too am tired of US-only campaigns. Good for Cleveland.
