A week's worth of tweets, July 30-August 5, 2012
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 July 30-Aug. 5, featuring Keegan Bradley, Ryann O'Toole, Joe Ogilvie and more:
AUGUST 5
Joe Ogilvie
@ogilviej Hmm...5 months until I peg it at the Sony Open, do I waste my time mastering belly putter or re-master short putter? Golf is now Congress.
@ogilviej I think anchoring has 24 months left. Rule will be +/- shaft can't come in contact w/any body part except for hands until you are 50.
Luke Donald
@LukeDonald Nice one @Keegan_Bradley you got a spare belly putter for me to try?!?! ha ha congrats mate.
Luke List
@SirDoubleL @Keegan_Bradley omg bellyputter wins again! Media is to blame. If using a belly was cheating everyone would use #upgradingboat #congratsKB
Srixon Golf
@SrixonGolf "It's the second week with the new Srixon ZSTAR. It has brought me to a new level, I love it." - Keegan Bradley... //fb.me/2kqQRieni
Roberto Castro
@cicioCASTRO Keegan: Classy playing for the W, but plugging Srixon to make sure the bonus check clears was even classier. #winWin #inTheSlot
Simon Wilson
@pgatourshaftrep Winners play True Temper! Well done @Keegan_Bradley amazing play today! #DGTI #PX
Odyssey Golf
@odysseygolf Another big week with five of the top-8 on the leaderboard @WGC_Bridgestone rolling Odyssey putters - including the winner. #1PutterInGolf
