Great weekend for golf at Muirfield Village in Ohio. The Wilson Golf staffers are playing great. Kevin Streelman, Gary Woodland in the hunt, with Brendan Steele not far back. Catch all the action today on Golf Channel and CBS, an early start is happening because of bad weather coming into the area by afternoon.

This weekend was supposed to be the final rounds at the John Deere Classic, at TPC Deere Run in Silvis IL. A suburb of the Quad Cities area.

While there was no John Deere Classic this year, there was a tournament at TPC Deere Run this past week, run by the Iowa PGA Section. The Deere Run Junior Open Tournament was won by Dillon Burr of Marion Iowa, with a two round score of 146 (+4) Burr won by one shot over Luke Lofgren of Rock Island (147). Congrats to the junior players who got to play TPC Deere Run this week, instead of the PGA Touring professionals.

THE VOKEY WEDGE WORKS-T GRIND.

Wedge craftsman Bob Vokey is now making available to you, what he puts in the bag of PGA Tour players.

One of the favorite wedges of tour players Justin Thomas and Jordan  Spieth is the T-Grind wedge.

T-Grind was built for players with great hands and a creative short game imagination. The T-Grind comes in 58 and 60 degree lofts. It works well for a shallow angle of attack in firm conditions. Compared to the L-Grind has a wider back flange for a lower measured bounce.

” Wedge play is an art, and the T-Grind brings out the best in the artist,” Vokey said. “The leading edge stays low to the playing surface as the wedge is rotated which allows you to hit a variety of shots from tight lies. This is the wedge that really made Vokey Grinds an important part of our process-and to this day is a great option.”

You can find more details at Vokey.com or Titleist.com. The Gog Blog Speaks Out returns tomorrow. RS
