A week's worth of golf equipment tweets, February 18-24, 2013
Many prominent golf companies, players and PGA instructors regularly take to Twitter to talk about their equipment and other aspects of their game. Here is a round-up of some of the most interesting golf-related Twitter entries from the week of February 18-24, featuring Arron Oberholser, Kris Tamulis, Bernd Wiesberger and more:
FEBRUARY 24
Annmarie Dodd
@AnnmarieDodd Think #AcademyAwards style has nothing to do with #golfstyle? Think again. Colors, aesthetic, details trickle-down to street and on-course
@AnnmarieDodd One spring trend I can't embrace: pistachio/mint green. Too 80s Boca Raton for me and will clash with the course. #golfstyle
Vokey Wedges
@VokeyWedges And it's another win for Vokey wedges! Congrats to the Accenture Match Play champ who trusted his Vokey 60 to victory. #inVokeWeTrust
Arron Oberholser
@ArronOberholser All this new equipment is not built to hit the ball low, even when you are trying to hit the ball low.
