GolfWRX was live this week from the FedEx St. Jude Classic, a.k.a the tournament before the U.S. Open.

If you missed this week’s photo galleries, see them here.

Golf fans and players (and just about everyone else) may be looking past this week and onto America’s national Open, but for now we have some Memphis photos to reveal.

These Cleveland wedges are dripping in National Pride.

‘Merica!

On that note, I may be pulling an Ed Snowden here…

But underneath this top secret and completely confidential headcover is a Scotty Cameron armlock putter.

You didn’t hear it from me.

Should someone tell Davis Love III his nickname isn’t DL4?

I feel like someone should tell him.

Two-time World Series champ Johnny Damon using a Krank Formula driver

And there’s just no excuse for an outfit like that.

Luke Donald has a new Mizuno S5 wedge in the bag

Which we don’t know much about, but we do know it’s blue. It’s definitely blue.

Soon you’ll know

How much longer do we have to wait, Seung?

I’ll give you one guess where Harrison Frazar was born

Answer: Dallas, Texas.

You said Ireland, didn’t you?

Michael Breed’s Golf Pride Lifeline training grip

Do we really need the numbers to tell us which finger should go where? Don’t talk down to me, Breed.

Will Wilcox has a dirty golf bag.

Will Wilcox clean it?

Author note: Homonym game on point

This autograph exchange is all business.

No happy faces, just a John Hancock.

These two FedEx delivery truck driver playing chicken are the worst

Don’t they know people are waiting on packages?

There’s only two rules to driving a FedEx delivery truck: Don’t play chicken with other FedEx trucks, and don’t leave my cardboard package out in the rain if I’m not home.

It’s really not that difficult.

Wanna know how good PGA Tour pros are at golf?

They can tell the difference between 54 degrees and 53.5 degrees.

“Hush Y’all”

Is this more polite or more offensive than “Quiet, please.”

4-Time NBA All-Star Penny Hardaway looks to have a good golf swing

Maybe he can finally beat Michael Jordan at something.

A weekly reminder how difficult golf is

Billy Horschel won $10 million last year in the FedEx Cup Playoffs, and now he’s trying to improve his putting stroke using tees, lasers, rulers and putting coaches.

  I love Mizuno wedges myself, but this one basically looks to me just like a Callaway Jaws from a few years ago (which were really good wedges, themselves).

I really like that head cover, but please don’t tell anyone. It’s a secret. 🙂

Uhmm, big fan AT, but Penny Hardaway and my Orlando Magic beat Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls in the ’95 Eastern Conference Finals. So “finally beat Michael Jordan at something” is incorrect and as a die hard Magic fan I demand a retraction:) I’m just sayin’……..

Damon batted left handed but appears to golf right handed. Interesting combination.

  It’s actually pretty common to see something like that. Jamie Sadlowski has said in many an interview that when he used to play hockey he played lefty but when he picked up a golf club he started to play righty. And of course Phil Mickelson is the obvious example, he’s right handed but plays golf lefty because apparently he used to stand opposite his father and mirror his swing. Whatever gets the job done, I guess.

I thought Johnny Damon’s Croc golf shoes were worthy of a comment. At least I think they’re Croc’s!

Wilson has a better looking gun blued wedge…at least in my opinion.
I haven’t hit either but love Wilson’s traditional bladed paired with gun blueing…must be the Texan gun owner in me…

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Published

Andrew Von Lossow

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.

Name every set of irons you’ve owned – GolfWRXers discuss

Will Schube

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
Mizuno MP-32
Mizuno MP-33 (2 sets)
Bridgestone J33cb – still own
Srixon i-302 (2 sets) – still own
Tourstage X-Blades – still own
Mizuno Hot Metal – still own
Nike Forged Blades – still own
