It’s been a busy couple weeks for our Tour photographer; he’s covered the Tour Championship for both the Web.com and the PGA Tour, the NCAA Northern Kentucky Fall Classic and the NCAA Collegiate Challenge.

If you missed any of the galleries, what have you been doing this whole time? I mean… you can browse through them in the links below:

We have a lot of tours to cover and photos to reveal, so let’s get right to it.

Patrick Reed’s bag prank on Danny Lee…

It’s a classic trick often seen in junior and college golf where you turn someone’s golf clubs upside down in their bag. From first-hand experience, it’s quite a nuisance rearranging the clubs.

Patriotic UST Mamiya Recoil shafts

It’s time to get in the spirit of the Presidents Cup! But for some golf fans, unfortunately, the Presidents Cup merely means it’s time to begin counting down until the Ryder Cup.

Lee McCoy is an O.G. gear head

Nickent 3Dx ironwood? Nike VRS fairway wood? While most of the new age golfers keep up with the latest gear, it looks like Lee McCoy is a traditionalist. Very refreshing.

See his “mini” WITB here.

He also has some funny Caddyshack-inspired wedge stampings on his Callaway MD3 Milled wedges

Movie quote wedge stampings just never get old. Or at least they haven’t yet.

Scotty Cameron’s new Larry Johnson head cover

Grandmama!

Evansville Aces: The best university mascot ever for a golf team

Way better than the Dayton Flyers, named after a dangerous lie in the rough that’s sure to go sailing over the green.

Looks as though the Nike Vapor Fly fairway wood is lie-angle adjustable

And the new Nike Vapor Fly metal woods look a lot like Nike Flykit Trainer sneakers, a big hit at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games.

Rory’s new Nike putter

We spotted Rory’s putter change at the 2015 Tour Championship.

It’s apparent that blue has taken over for Victory Red and Volt, both seen in previous lines, as the dominant color for this year’s Nike clubs throughout the bag.

And as for the grooves on Nike putters, it seems they’re only getting more pronounced.

Remember when Robert Streb made five birdie putts with his wedge?

He got this stamped on his wedge to commemorate that round.

It’s a known fact that Chuck Norris doesn’t need a putter; he just roundhouse kicks the ball into the hole.

4 ways to tell this guy isn’t a PGA professional

He’s wearing shorts.
He’s wearing the hat of the tournament he’s playing in.
His glasses are hanging down in the way of his swing.
He’s wearing his glove on the wrong hand.

That look when the player you caddy for wins $23 million in one year

Jordan Spieth’s caddy: the best job in the world behind backup quarterback in the NFL, this dude’s gig and GolfWRX editor.

Caught red-handed

Classic hand-caught-in-the-cookie-jar face. They’re definitely looking at something inappropriate.

Justin Rose’s wear spot on his new TaylorMade M1 driver

A little toe-y there Rose-y? No chance. The Trackman savant knows exactly where to hit it to get the best possible launch conditions.

Here ya go lefties

Proof that equipment companies actually do make lefty golf clubs.

A Miami Dolphins fan… ouch

But yet, a GolfWRX chip made him momentarily forget that pain. That’s just what we do; put smiles on faces, even through tough times.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
jgrzask: “Tommy Armour 845u
