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.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

How much do we think it cost Bryson for these irons? Did he get them completely free due to being a good player? It almost sounds about 10K if you or I wanted these made by David. What do you think? I’m constantly looking into the cost of things. Take a player like Jordan Speith or another Junior that was top of their flights throughout their life – they took lessons from a top 100 teacher their entire lives. At 500/hour taking lessons 3 times a week and many like Jordon spent a lot more time than that – I’d say their parents spent about 20K on golf lessons before the kid hit his 18th birthday. See: Jordan, Cantlay, Bryson, etc al.
I’m a father and love the game. I feel that I had enough talent to make it but at what cost? Many of their parents had to be super rich.

Wow the amount stuff Edel put into making Bryson’s iron is mind blowing.
It seens his excitement level is bit lower in this video vs. other videos. Maybe it’s just me, but all the work, money, R&D, and time and every absolutely every small detail that went into building this ultimate set to just have Bryson leave and and go to Cobra has to be disheartening. Being such a super small company and put that effort into something and not really get all the “pay off” from all the work and then have a major OEM basically take your design and rehash it and make millions off it has to be heartbreaking. It’s crazy the precision that went into that set.
Before this series I really had zero interest in Edel clubs but now I’m very interested in their wedges (suppose that’s the point of the series though, but it worked 🙂 ).

Mark Crossfield’s review of them has me convinced they’re the best choice for single length. Pricey but for good reason.

Yeah but Bryson may have paid for those irons and the free marketing MUST be worth it. I can agree with your statement but business is business. Either way Edel makes some amazing gear and am a huge fan.
