15 Revealing Photos from the PGA, Web.com and NCAA
It’s been a busy couple weeks for our Tour photographer; he’s covered the Tour Championship for both the Web.com and the PGA Tour, the NCAA Northern Kentucky Fall Classic and the NCAA Collegiate Challenge.
If you missed any of the galleries, what have you been doing this whole time? I mean… you can browse through them in the links below:
- PGA Tour Championship
- Web.com Tour Championship
- Northern Kentucky Fall Classic
- NCAA Dick’s Collegiate Challenge
We have a lot of tours to cover and photos to reveal, so let’s get right to it.
Patrick Reed’s bag prank on Danny Lee…
It’s a classic trick often seen in junior and college golf where you turn someone’s golf clubs upside down in their bag. From first-hand experience, it’s quite a nuisance rearranging the clubs.
Patriotic UST Mamiya Recoil shafts
It’s time to get in the spirit of the Presidents Cup! But for some golf fans, unfortunately, the Presidents Cup merely means it’s time to begin counting down until the Ryder Cup.
Lee McCoy is an O.G. gear head
Nickent 3Dx ironwood? Nike VRS fairway wood? While most of the new age golfers keep up with the latest gear, it looks like Lee McCoy is a traditionalist. Very refreshing.
He also has some funny Caddyshack-inspired wedge stampings on his Callaway MD3 Milled wedges
Movie quote wedge stampings just never get old. Or at least they haven’t yet.
Scotty Cameron’s new Larry Johnson head cover
Grandmama!
Evansville Aces: The best university mascot ever for a golf team
Way better than the Dayton Flyers, named after a dangerous lie in the rough that’s sure to go sailing over the green.
Looks as though the Nike Vapor Fly fairway wood is lie-angle adjustable
And the new Nike Vapor Fly metal woods look a lot like Nike Flykit Trainer sneakers, a big hit at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games.
Rory’s new Nike putter
We spotted Rory’s putter change at the 2015 Tour Championship.
It’s apparent that blue has taken over for Victory Red and Volt, both seen in previous lines, as the dominant color for this year’s Nike clubs throughout the bag.

And as for the grooves on Nike putters, it seems they’re only getting more pronounced.
Remember when Robert Streb made five birdie putts with his wedge?
He got this stamped on his wedge to commemorate that round.
It’s a known fact that Chuck Norris doesn’t need a putter; he just roundhouse kicks the ball into the hole.
4 ways to tell this guy isn’t a PGA professional
- He’s wearing shorts.
- He’s wearing the hat of the tournament he’s playing in.
- His glasses are hanging down in the way of his swing.
- He’s wearing his glove on the wrong hand.
That look when the player you caddy for wins $23 million in one year

Caught red-handed
Classic hand-caught-in-the-cookie-jar face. They’re definitely looking at something inappropriate.
Justin Rose’s wear spot on his new TaylorMade M1 driver
A little toe-y there Rose-y? No chance. The Trackman savant knows exactly where to hit it to get the best possible launch conditions.
Here ya go lefties
Proof that equipment companies actually do make lefty golf clubs.

A Miami Dolphins fan… ouch
But yet, a GolfWRX chip made him momentarily forget that pain. That’s just what we do; put smiles on faces, even through tough times.

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping
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.

If I could produce that sort of wear mark on my driver, it would not matter what brand, model or shaft; I’d be a happy golfer.
