Random Weekend Fun On Instagram: 1-21-18

Tommy Fleetwood picked up where he left off in 2017 by defending in Abu Dhabi. Love the passion in this image.

Sergio Garcia won the Singapore Open in the first asking with an all new bag of Callaways, including the Chrome Soft X and new Toulon putter.

The Euros are feeling better about their prospects at the Ryder Cup already, counting down the days after wins by Rahm, Fleetwood and Garcia to kick off the year.

Sugarloaf Social Club posted a fun hipsters treasure map to the PGA Show floor.

Jack Nicklaus turned 78 and the PGA Tour posted the best gallery of images capturing the birthday boy.

And I want to be 3 years old again.

He’s done it again 👊🏻 @tommyfleetwood_1

Which way to the golf course? Never to young to start driving a golf cart.

How can there be so so many stalls at the PGA merchandising show?

Not sure this #growthegame approach is healthy!

Garcia has played Callaway clubs before this event. Started playing them right after he and TM announced their conscious uncoupling in late 2017. And he also tested all of his new Callaway clubs and ball extensively before he signed with them. It's not like the Singapore Open was the first time he swung a Callaway club or played its ball.

It's always too early to start driving a golf cart

A cart fee should be $100 less your age; this kid would owe $98.

A win is a win for Sergio but lets not get carried away.
OWGR: Kodaira 52 ^42, Norris 151 ^111, Boonma NR, Janewattananond 165 ^134

The equivalent would be Geno claiming the Nike shoes his Lady Huskies wear made the difference in a win over Skidmore.

Ok, so 'technically' Sergio has held the clubs before, and it's only a world class win over lesser players. Got it. Anyone else want to put forward some reason lesson the accomplishment.

BTW the odds in Vegas say Tiger won't make the cut

“ and a new bag of Callaways”
Do those clubs have that “Jailbreak Distance Technology” I hear so much about on the Shack House Sponsored by Callaway Golf podcasts?
Is Sergio using those “long and soft” Chrome Soft balls for more distance I see advertised here? thanks
01.22.2018 | Unregistered Commenterjailbreak
jailbreak/sad troll/postingunderthirdaliastoday,

Yes, as a matter of fact Sergio used the Chrome Soft X in his win and all Rogue clubs with Jailbreak. Callaway sponsors ShackHouse, indeed. Capitalism must have really done you wrong.

Golf cart is good for the soul.

Spaniards rule.

Callaway balls rock!!

I also have the chrome X wedges, bent to 51,55, and 59 Great though a few years old. When the bermuda gets growing, my Cleveland 900's are smaller and work. Callaway has come along way from those terrible Big Bertha irons that hit is long, but could not work the ball if it was an 80 compression balata. When they started making real pro line irons, they improved. Meanwhile TM irons are so pimped up, they look like they should be standard beginner clubs rentals at Top Golf, *dig* I may actually get to finally play this week or next week.

Fleetwood's last round back nine of 30 strokes was impressive.

Wow! Awesome!!!!

A big thank you to Sugarloaf...for providing a detailed map where NOT to go if you’re allergic to smug hipsters who can’t break an egg.
