Alison Lee made only $629K as a rookie in 2015...as a result, it makes perfect sense to dump Ping. www.pxg.com/pros/alison-leeAlso, Gerina Piller is going to retire her T/M RBZ driver for a PXG driver. Nike's new team includes KLPGAer So Hye Park, who won twice on the Jump Tour in 2015 and graduated to the Dream Tour later in the season. She has been part-Nike, per these 2015 photos: Nike also picked the JLPGA's Rumi Yoshiba, which is quite a coup, as she is dumping a Japanese company, Yamaha. Rumi's not bad...I watched her some at the 2015 USWO.

That's a great picture of Alison "GIMME" Lee...the B&W pics are nice...IMO....Recari's pic is not great. Ping and Titleist don't pay some of their pros well. Nike should have picked up GIMME....but I guess one 'fake' Korean is one too many.
I guess you went to PXG's site with Zach's sign up....IMO...Zach is smug and he proved it at Chambers Bay with a dbag gesture to a fan.
Why PXG would waste any money on Sadena and especially Rawson is beyond me. Phil have you seen Anna...void of make-up...she just a bag of bones...void of any game.
Did you notice how many LPGA pros like the Nippon shaft in their irons
I kinda surprised Gerina didn't upgrade to the AeroBurner vs. the RBZ.
I don't think SHP has a significant Nike endorsement...no way The Dark Side would allow a pro to play an AeroBurner as a fully sponsored pro....note the TP head with the TM TP logo on the toe.

Phil have you seen Anna...void of make-up...she just a bag of bones...void of any game. I remember seeing A.R. at the Upper Montclair CC range a few years ago...just went into the archives to confirm the details...my exact words from the Wed. pro-am of the 2008 Sybase: Her shoulder turn reminded me of Christina Kim at first. Upon further reflection, she might have been doing the “Stack & Tilt” swing, which has received mixed reviews on the PGA tour. But, it seemed like her upper body was leaning towards the target at the top of her swing. She should maintain her modeling options (personally, I don’t think she’s that hot), just in case.Anna retired from competitive golf a few years ago, but she could still do pro-ams and corporate outings playing with millionaires (the only people who could afford PXG gear). The latest publicity shots of So Hye Park, who will start 2016 on the KLPGA Dream Tour:

There are some interesting articles about Bob Parsons on geoffshackelford.com. When you are worth a couple of billion dollars I guess you can do what you want. In the 1990's there used to be a nice Korean golf shop on Wilshire Boulevard. There were some Honma irons that were about $25,000. I asked the clerk if they could really sell them. He replied, "There are morons everywhere."

I certainly agree that Zach Johnson is a creep.
His quote about the switch to PXG somehow doesn't mention how much he is getting paid.
From geoffshackelford.com
The signings, terms of which were not disclosed, brings Parsons’ tour staff to an even dozen players who have combined for 55 tour wins, including three major titles. “The decision to put PXG clubs in play was not one I took lightly,” said Johnson, in a statement released by the company. “My entire team, from caddie to coach, was part of the discernment process. We all agree that PXG is undeniably the best equipment to help me achieve my goals.”

He replied, "There are morons everywhere." The Golftown in Richmond, BC is full of Honma, Muira and Maruman stuff....many sets for $5,000 - $10,000....including a set of Maruman for a very nice deal....only $79,995. The tax alone is $9,600....in 46 years of golfing....I haven't come close to spending 10 grand....although my Dad bought me clubs when I was a kid....I think I've spent well under $5,000....I'm not a club ho and used clubs are so cheap nowadays. I spent $600 on a new set of Wilson Ultra 45's in 1993....and just last March....spent $275 a new set of Cobra Amp Cells....I've had a partial set of Cally X14's ($75 used...eBay in 2005)....then a set made....7-PW...Golfsmith....$135. My last new driver was a Cally GBB in 97...about $300....and then 5 used drivers since....from $30 to $125.....Ping, Cleveland, TM, TM, TM. I've seen quite a few Honma's here in Asia Central...lots of old Chinese & Korean players.....men and if women are gaming them...it's Korean women. I've seen a few set of Muira's...but mainly from people who can play. There was one Korean guy who had a butterfly sticker on his Titleist driver.....I couldn't help but LMAO....I'm surprised he didn't have a Hello Kitty headcover. If you see a Benz with stuff toys and perfume bottles on the dashboard...you know it's Chinese owned.....likely drinking bubble tea too. Thankfully, the Smiling Buddha doesn't buy into all that crap.

I still use Ping Eye 2s. I need to upgrade for sure. I have a Rapture driver like Lorena. I have 14 Ping putters-- none of them work.

WTF The Ping Eye's are as ancient as you....though you do see some LW's still in play. The Rapture is a pretty good driver. But you are giving up too much forgiveness by not upgrading.....finding 3-4 year old used stuff is so cheap nowadays.

Bo Mee Photos part 1Bo Mee Photos Part 2That Instragram account must a 'fake'.....likely from some Smile Candy fanboy (heck...it could be Phil).....with all of BML's fanboys in Japan and Korea...this account only has 359 followers....Paige Spiranac was 500.000+ followers. Speaking of Paige...Mackenzie that is.....I think she's engaged...I only caught the ending of Morning Drive showing a ring? ??

It's pretty clearly an instagram for a fan of Bo Mee's; I never said otherwise. I just posted the link cause he posted the cool pix that I couldn't find on the internet otherwise. This link is to another blog with some more photos I couldn't find anywhere else... Another photo shoot for Bo Mee (2 pix)
