13 revealing photos from the Sanderson Farms Championship
GolfWRX was live this week from the Sanderson Farms Championship at the Country Club of Jackson in Jackson, Miss. If you missed any of the photos, make sure to browse the links below:
While most of the world’s top players are in Shanghai for the WGC-HSBC Champions, the rest of the guys are down in Mississippi. It’s weeks like these that can be really important for less-accomplished PGA Tour players, because it doesn’t matter where you get a win, or against whom — since each one gets you into The Masters. And isn’t that really the ultimate goal?
But anyway, let’s reveal some photos from the Sanderson Farms Classic.
A putter prototype that doesn’t suck (air)
From the makers of the skateboard half-pipe putter, Biomech brings to you the vacuum cleaner upholstery prototype putter.
Here’s to hoping the putter doesn’t suck as much as a vacuum.
While we don’t know much about the prototype pictured above, you can read more about the technological concepts from Biomech here.
Mr. Beasley
Check out the meaning behind Rife’s new Mr. Beasley prototypes here. Spoiler alert: they’re not named after the “Mr. Beasley” character from Blondie and Dagwood (which I’ve never seen).
Auburn grad Patton Kizzire with cryptic “AU” stamping
AU? What is AU? Australian dollar? Astronomical unit? The elemental symbol for gold? Yeah that must be it — “AU” written in gold coloring must mean gold. Those Auburn grads can’t sneak one past Mr. Revealing Photos.
Kizzire, the Auburn grad, really loves gold, huh? He even made a logo for the elemental symbol and put it on his golf bag. Those Auburn grads are a weird bunch.
Speaking of Auburn grads, Bo Knows Golf… and aquatic plaid pants
As one of, if not THE best athlete ever, Bo Jackson should never listen to anything I have to say… but that doesn’t make his pants any less ugly. You’re still No. 1 in our book though, Bo.
He also has an incredibly powerful golf swing.

Which should surprise no one.
A Super Troopers stamping
After raising $4.4 million via crowdfunding, the long-awaited Super Troopers 2 is becoming a reality. That’s great news for some, and completely meaningless for others. Continuing on…
Tour the Tour van
It’s always a treat when our Tour photographer snaps photos of inside the Tour vans, where all the equipment magic happens.
Some awesome Sanderson Farms tee markers
As shown on the sign above, the tee markers were painted by patients at the Batson Children’s Hospital at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. Take a look at the awesome results:
Cleveland drivers: Old vs. new
Cleveland now (from a few years ago, actually)…
Cleveland then.
Michael Bradley took to the range with the old Cleveland Classic Oil Hardened RC 69 persimmon driver. And word from our Tour photographer says he was striping it, consistently hitting 167 ball speed on the Trackman.
I wonder if younger guys such as Jordan Spieth or Jason Day would fair the same?
K.J. Choi’s jaw-dropping Miura Giken irons
Even his caddie is looking at them in awe like, “What the heck are these beauties?”
See what GolfWRX members are saying about the Miura Giken CB-1007 irons in our forums. Also, if you have a few extra minutes to kill, check out this video of how Miura forges its irons.
Bettinardi prototypes
It’s always a treat to see what Bettinardi prototypes pop up on Tour. These feature new finishes and logos.
SuperStroke’s new Pistol putter grips
From the photos, it appears SuperStroke has a new “Pistol GT 2.0” putter grip offered in at least two different colorways, with the company’s patented No Taper technology and counter-weight adjustability. They’re receiving early praise in the forums from our members.
Footjoy Classics Dry Premiere
Nothing better than white on white classics. If FootJoy still sold them at retail, I’d wear them not only on the course, but obnoxiously to dinners and other gatherings also. You can still find classics on the Internet if you do some digging through Ebay or the GolfWRX classifieds. Good luck in your search.
If not, you can always go with ICONs, which are the new age versions of classics.
Lean on me
Sometimes in our lives we all have pain. We all have sorrow. But just remember, I’ll always be here when you need someone to lean on for a photo gallery full of Scotty Camerons to make it all better.
I know that one day, I’ll need to lean on someone else for a gallery of flatstick fire. But that day is not today.
Equipment
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.

How is no one talking about those Scotty Tour pics? Wow, they certainly brightened up my day. Thanks Greg (if that was you man)! For all the criticizers of what is and what is not, who cares guys! Remember this is for entertainment only. Stop being such nobs and just enjoy what WRX has presented to us.

You do realize that is a photo of Al Green (Let’s Stay Together), and not Bill Withers, who

The Biomech putter is the greatest idea that actually works. If you need a cure from the yippies…..get your paws on one of these……NO $h!t!!!

It is almost impossible to keep up with KJ’s equipment changes.
