Equipment
Nick Faldo, Dave Edel join forces
Golfers who win multiple major championships know a thing or two about golf equipment.
That’s why the decision by six-time major champion Nick Faldo to become a partner with a small Texas-based equipment manufacturer, Edel Golf, has boosted interest in the company.
Edel Golf was founded by David Edel, who gained a following with his custom fit putters. His success led him to establish a wedge company that focuses on custom fitting with top PGA professional Mike Adams in 2010.
This year, Edel has partnered with Faldo, creating an exclusive line of Faldo by Edel irons, wedges and putters that were inspired by Faldo’s equipment preferences.
Check out the video below to learn more, and see the gallery below to view the new equipment from Faldo by Edel.

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.

I just grabbed a set of the Limited Edition Cavity Backs like the ones in the pictures and they are AMAZING, super soft Japanese forging and a truly tailored fit from lie angle and sole grind, And they look amazing too.

Interesting custom options on the Faldo irons similar to what MacGregor offered a few years back. Hopefully the website will have more info on the 1/1 limited edition irons.
