2008 Northern Trust Open ***HE RES WARNING***

[markheardjr]

VJ, KJ, VooDoo's Oh My!!!

Snapped a few pics of this little golf tournament near my house. Thought all you freezing northern U.S. folks might want to grab some hot chocolate and pull up a seat.

Here are some shots of some Adam's driver. I don't really follow them, maybe you do.



Charles Howell III. He was testing an all black Burner TP Tour






Random Bettenardi Covers


Brandt Snedeker




Chad Campbell




Chucky Hoffman



Cleveland VP Putters and bag


Which way to go?


Man it was foggy, the first tee was a nightmare. The pro's were all down the right side and the amateurs were really bad.
With how the 1st tee box lines you up, lots of blind shots into the foggy mist.




For Tour Use Only


Justin Rose



KJ Choi was sporting a Matrix Ozik F6M2 1st Run in his new Sumo




Tom Lehman was talking to some guy. I think the guy was either a famous sports personality for an actor.



Matt Kuchar



Michael Allen wants to make sure no one else uses his clubs by accident.



This club is a mystery to me. Looks like an unfinished TM proto of some kind. Possibly a TP Burner 3 wood of the future??? Don't know.



Paddy showed up


Pat Perez



Rory Sabbatini, he was busy tracking down some fog resistant glasses. If you look in the last picture, you can see he is now using the new Callawy i ball.





Scott Verplank rockin the old Ping




Scrath golf had a million wedges, I want them ALL!!!



Apparently it is very hard to get a sightline on your putter now-a-days, even for VJ and Rory. But, sharpies work all the same.



Random Spider, may have been for Micheal Allen


Steve Stricker's bag


TM Trucks, no, you're not seeing double.



Tour Edge Exotics bag



Vijay was all over the place today. He was putting well. He actually hit balls with the power hitter training aide.







Aldila VooDoo shafts hidden in some Adam's bag

If you would like any zoom in's, please let me know, my camera is super powerful and I can get pretty close up on some of them.

[ace50]

[Blackanvil58]

Is that rory sabbatini's new adams driver at the very beginning of the photos?

No, that was in the ADAM's bag next to the tour van. He may be using a similar model, not sure. But at the Buick he had a 4250DF Proto, this is a 2400 DF BOXER Proto, sort of a square MOI club for Adam's I guess.

Loving the new Adidas Tour 360 LTD's.

Great job....buddy

[weakright]

awesome pics - definitely not a disposable camera from 7-11

I love VJ's Cleveland 900 wedges with the new CG12 logo on the back!! Must be cool having wedges made for you!!

[dispatch096]

great pics. thanks.

Great pics! I guess Cambell is still sporting the Sasquatch with his Sumo 2 bag? I actually liked playing Riviera better than Pebble Beach! The course designer for Riviera designed our Muni course that I play all the time. Of corse it's not nice like Riviera as far as up-keep, but has similar greens and terrain.

That would be correct, it is a $1000 Nikon D50 and a $1200 Tamron 75-300mm zoom lense. (I actually have to switch lenses often at Riviera because of how close you can get to the clubs. (Prices were at time of purchase.)

I like Brandt Snedeker's Tour Satin Chrome CG14's too!

i find it odd why Snedeker has R7 TP irons and not some fancy Bridgestone's especially being on his 2nd year with Bridgestone.. and also does CH3 not like a Bridgestone driver.. hitting a new Burner TP hmmm? any info on why?

[Samsquanch]

Thanks! Awesome! ;)

[Ghost_Orchid]

Lots of guys sporting the Adidas 360...I want them, not willing to drop $250 though.

My gamer now is the Powerband, gonna get the 360 II (black, white, slime green...Hell yeah) for this season.

 

Weird seeing Game Improvement irons in those bags, I guess whatever it takes to beat Tiger.

i'm really liking those new titleist trucker hats that the hoff was wearing, cant wait to get my hands on one of them.

Snedekers contract with Bridgestone is for balls, bag, and visor only. His club deal is with Taylor Made.

Chucky and Jim Furyk are two players that are on the Adidas shoe deal. They just wear the shoe and tee up a TM driver. It is part of the deal. Helps them win the driver counts every week.

GREAT PICS!!! AWSOME!!! ;)

Mark,

Great pictures. Thank you for getting some of S. Verplank, he is one of my favorites.

[oregongolf]

I like those exotics wedges. They look sweet.

[trgolf2]

great picture of Rory's putter

[birdman72]

Awesome Pics!

[jimmyjames]

Great pics...thanks for sharing.

[Smiley Npk.]

is that a new hat hoffman is wearing?

[Skaffa77]

Great pics. Interesting that all the Bridgestone irons appear to be the CB models. Are any pros using their blades?

[bharrisuga]

That bag of Scratch Wedges looks awesome. See if you can get any pics of Pappas or Ridings with the wedges in the bag. Thanks for posting these!
