The Gog Blog Chicago’s #1 online golf news source by Rory Spears, Editor and Director of Content. Follow Rory on Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter @GogBlogGuy with Annika Sorenstam at Demo Day at the 2016 PGA Show.
The 2016 PGA Show is underway, and demo day at the Orange County Golf Center is in the books.
It was nice of former World #1 and World Golf Hall of Famer, Annika Sorenstam to stop by and say hello while she was visiting friends at the Callaway section of the big circular driving range where demo day is held.
Soremstam looks like she could go back out on the LPGA Tour and start winning again right now.
In addition it was good to see club designer Roger Cleveland at the Callaway area, and it seems like the new wedge line he created (profiled here with our story from Cog Hill) has been a success. Callaway might have some more news here at the show.
Wilson Staff Golf GM Tim Clarke has plenty to be smiling about these days.

A new Wilson club line along with it’s DUO ball, has been a success. More on Wilson both from the show, and after I return to Chicago.
Look for Wilson products in more of your local retail golf stores, their name is making a comeback in the area of visibility as well.
This is one shaft golfers need to get their hands on, a Fujikura Speeder Shaft.
Are you shopping for that new driver, do have one that needs a little more pop, try putting in a new shaft.
Yes it’s true, nobody wants to get the “Shaft” in life, or on the golf course, but if you want to post some lower scores, put a shaft in your club the touring pro’s are using in big numbers, the Fujikura Golf Shaft, one of their most popular shafts is the Speeder. You can’t go wrong, don’t be afraid to insist on Fujikura shafts in your new clubs, especially the driver and fairway woods. More on Fujikura as show week goes on.
