WEB.COM pro has clubs STOLEN before final round -- and STILL qualifies!

Recommended Posts

Read below the amazing story of young professional Cody Blick, who started the day well outside the 'top 40' cutoff for any kind of Web.com status. Still, with today's final round offering one last chance to move up, he discovered Sunday morning that his clubs had been stolen. He offered a $5,000 "no questions asked" reward for their return.

 

Today, the great news: Blick fired a final round 63 to earn his status. (Don't yet know if he played with borrowed clubs, his own or rentals but this gets my vote as the Clutch Performance of the Year.)

So his WITB is probably something like: Ping G400 Alta CB X shaft

" " 3 wood "

Titleist AP2 3-PW DG X100 Standard L/L/L

etc. etc.. with very difficult to remove price tag/bar code sticker on 3 iron.

 

Costco box set. Bag and all!

 

Which will promptly be returned for full refund once he is done with Q School.

He's possibly thinking, "Club feiting?? I don't need no stinkin club feiting!"

Here's an updated story with some quotes from Blick. https://www.golfchannel.com/news/cody-blick-shoots-63-earns-webcom-tour-starts-after-having-clubs-stolen

 

Lot of respect for the way he gathered himself and set his attitude for the round in such short order. Wishing him well on the Web.com this year.

He used the Superintendent’s Titleist TS driver, pro shop’s wedges, random irons and a heavier than usual putter

U almost got it.

 

"They put together a TS3 driver and 3-wood with different settings. They borrowed the club superintendent’s 5- through 9-iron that were a few degrees upright. They took a couple of wedges from the pro shop. And they grabbed a blade putter that was heavier and an inch longer than his gamer."

This is an amazing story. A pro playing such an important round with a set of clubs not configured to his specs. Says a lot about his mental fortitude and ability to adjust on the fly, and also says a lot about how important it is to play 'at ease'. On the other hand, bad karma to whoever pinched his clubs.

Only one thing left to do now, find the thief and enact a "man on fire" style revenge plot.

This story got put me in a great mood considering it's Monday,

 

This is insane! What does it mean?

 

 

"Blick figured that he needed to shoot 8 under to secure early-season status for 2019, and he got hot early, going out in 32. He ripped his new driver, missing only one fairway all day, and even felt confident enough to roast a few off the deck. He tugged a couple of iron shots, but he also knocked down the flag and had seven birdie putts inside 5 feet. And after a painful goodbye to his stolen putter – which he’d used since 2010 – he choked down an inch on the new model, adjusted his setup and rolled the ball beautifully, never missing inside 7 feet."

Great story -- reinforces that "playing golf" and "playing with equipment" are two completely unrelated activities.

 

I'll admit they are both fun. :D

Adaptive Golf.....look out for the one-armed man:

  Ping G425 Max Driver, 5W, 7W....+2"

  PXG 0211 hybrids, 25*, 28*, 31*….+2”

  PXG 0211 8i - SW….+3” or Sub70 699 8i - SW….+4”

This alone may be the craziest part. Putting like that is amazing. Same putter with even just a different grip would cause me to miss everything inside 7 feet. :)

Cody and I were just talking..says the superintendents driver is money lol

 

The next question now becomes, will the super get his driver back? If it were me I'd be sending him some cash and a bottle of Scotch and keeping the driver.
