Those Jailbird putters should be flying off the shelf.

azgreg

Mattyv
The last three winners had one I believe.

rsvman2

azgreg I think the one he uses doesn't have the white hot insert, though, so it's kindmof a custom job. And the guy who won the US Open had his customized the exact same way.

So Joe Customer can't actually buy the putter the winners are using.

Mattyv

azgreg
You are correct.

rsvman2

Just searched and saw that they are now taking preorders for the exact putter, with the black insert and everything. $399 plus shipping, if you want one, and set to be delivered in September. 😲

Rickie, Wyndam and Keegan’s putter has been around for 10 years. So much for new technology.

rsvman2

Sneakylong Yeah, but it was a crappy putter before. Now that 'it' has 'won tournaments' it's awesome! 🤣

Street cred.......

Par4QC

Bravopilot

Par4QC Naturally the cruel bitch sometimes referred to as golf, he then went Par, Par on the next two holes, both Par 5s, to miss qualifying for the John Deere Classic.😎

Par4QC

Bravopilot Yeah, tough shooting 66 and not making it in a 4 spotter. But, they go low every year at that course.

Must have moved the tee box wayyy up on that hole. iirc, it's supposed to be over 400.

ode

Bravopilot was gonna ask if he qualified....there is some irony in there....but give the guy credit for taking the shot on and giving himself a chance.

Interesting Wedge Set Up

Bravopilot

Par4QC Article said he played over the corner of trees, and he didn't see the ball land.

azgreg

Par4QC
They don't play the qualifiers on the tournament course.

Bravopilot

azgreg Par4QC Right, they never do but I assume they play the qualifier at the same course each year.

This was at Pinnacle Country Club in Milan, Illinois. #17 playing 345 yds that day.

Par4QC

azgreg

Bravopilot

Correct. They do the Q at Pinnacle, just a few miles from my house. I've played the course a few times. #17 is supposed to play over 400, but there may have been an issue with wet grounds.
Typically need to be around 62/63 to make it, so 66 was wayyyy off.😜

The greens there are nothing short of bastards, in mid summer (dry). I once had an 18" birdie putt turn into a double bogey, after chipping back onto the green.🤬

Going to be a somewhat different JDC this year. Not hot/humid as hell, maybe just a shower. But it will be the 3rd low scoring event in a row for some of the guys.

Par4QC

Who TH is William Mouw?

This kid has yet to make a bogey at JDC, -12.
