9 Revealing photos from the WGC-Cadillac Championship at Trump Doral

Published

on

GolfWRX was live this week from Trump National Doral for the 2016 WGC-Cadillac Championship, hosting the world’s top players including Jordan Spieth, ranked No. 1 in the world, Jason Day (No. 2) and Rory McIlroy (No. 3). In case you missed any of the photos from this week, browse the links below, which include 20 WITB galleries:

Photos from the WGC-Cadillac Championship

In 2014, Donald Trump revamped Doral’s “Blue Monster” with the help of course designers Gil Hanse and David Pillsbury, and the course became decidedly more difficult. Tiger Woods won the WGC-Cadillac event at 19-under par in 2013, while Patrick Reed won with a final score of 4-under in 2014 after the course changes. The Blue Monster now lives up to its monstrous name.

Although we didn’t have a Trump sighting — maybe he’s busy with other things? — we do have a slew of interesting photos this week. Thus, Revealing Photos: The Donald’s Doral.

Chris Wood takes us to Blockbuster

“Dodger.” I assume this is a shoutout to Dodger from the 1988 Walt Disney film Oliver & Company, which is inspired by Charles Dickens’ novel Oliver Twist (Google is an amazing place).

Lock it up… You lock it up.

But we’re not done. With the last name Wood, it’s no wonder why he got the nickname Woody.

Which explains the Toy Story shoutout, “There’s a snake in my boots.”

Speaking of Disney Classics…

FlyingV

Graeme McDowell’s lead tape forms a Mighty Ducks classic — the Flying-V! With a wedge, it’s never Knuckle-Puck Time, however.

Your weekly reminder golf is difficult

GolfIsHard

Especially before the golf season even begins in the Northern states, I believe it’s my job to remind the golfing public that even the pros struggle in this crazy game we call fun. The photo above shows a professional golfer with stance bubbles, horseshoes, strings, poles and mirrors. And he’s putting cross-handed. If you think you’re supposed to emerge from winter shooting the rounds of your life, just use this photo as a reminder how difficult golf is.

Fueled by Mugen 

MugenGolfWedge

Yusaku Miyazato’s forged Bridgestone wedges are “full milled by Mugen,” which is a Japanese car-racing parts company, a.k.a. Mugen Racing. Surely Bridgestone (a tire company), and Mugen (a racing parts company), have some sort of auto-turned-golf relationship.

The result? Apparently a $750 wedge, according to a GolfWRX forum member.

A top-5 wedge in the world

On the two-year anniversary of Patrick Reed declaring himself a top-5 player in the world at the 2014 WGC-Cadillac Championship, he was spotted testing this Bettinardi 60-degree wedge. And it’s amazing.

Not much to say here. If this design isn’t inspired by a RockStar Energy drink then I need to retire from Revealing Photos.

But it definitely is.

Vokey’s new SM6 finish unveiled

It’s called “I-tried-to-clean-my-wedge-but-left-smear-marks-so-now-I-have-clean-it-again.” Rolls right off the tongue.

He played on the Hawaii Pacific University Men's Golf team and earned a Masters degree in Communications. He also played college golf at Rutgers University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism.

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

Published

on

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.

Check out Shipley’s full what’s in the bag and the rest of his wedge stampings here on “Inside the Ropes” from Colonial.
