PGA Show 2018: Day 1 Recap
GolfWRX has spikes on the ground in the Sunshine State for the 2018 PGA Merchandise Show. Here’s a look at some of our coverage from the main page, forums, Twitter, and Instagram.
From the main page, we have a great look at Trackman’s latest technology, which shows impact location.
TrackMan 4 will have Impact Location feedback (2018 PGA Show Day 1)
And we have a deep dive into the FootJoy’s compelling, classic (and disruptive in a world of sneaker-style golf kicks) 1857 line.
Also, a thorough examination of Lamkin’s new grip offerings.
Lamkin’s new 2018 grips, including TS1, Sonar and Players Cord (2018 PGA Show Day 1)
…and a quick ook at Bushnell’s Ion 2 GPS watch.
If yesterday’s buffet of forum photos put Golden Corral to shame, the Day 1 spread is like the 300-dish deep Carnival World Buffet in Las Vegas. Now, there’s a bit of overlap as we had multiple Ansel Adams on the ground, but we trust you won’t mind.

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.

There was an Asian company showing a small disc for $99 that can be used as a ball marker but showed the slope of the green. I don’t know if the disc actually showed the info or if it pared to a smart phone. I didn’t have a chance to return to the booth for info as I had appointments. Does anyone know the name of the company? The booth was near some of the golf tee companies.
