Patrick Reed Wears Callaway

It's really amazing how some things in this world come full circle. As an avid fly fisher I quickly think about how Pacific Salmon fight their way upstream to spawn... and die (Atlantic Salmon don't). However, in between all of this a legacy is passed on as salmon eggs turn into fry and then one day it happens. After spending their entire lives in the lake or ocean they turn into adults and return to the very creek that they were created in traversing rapids, anglers and in some cases hungry bears to create a brood of their own. I realize that this isn't a fishing blog so how does this tie in?

Well as it turns out, "Mufasa" was very wise lion and the "Circle of Life" was no joke. It's real. When I started my website alexandertothgolf.com it was on the heels of a severe diabetic foot ulcer. Not so much the heels of the ulcer but during while resting on the couch where I was hooked up to an I.V. I was bored and my brain was stagnating so I thought about writing. I previously wrote for an e-zine (now defunct) called "Fly Fish Ontario" and decided to revisit that "skill set". Here we are a few years removed and I'm right back where I was. Ordered to be off of my feet due to another infection that led to another diabetic foot ulcer. I haven't written in a while so what better excuse to get back on the horse? Full circle.

Can you believe it? It feels like the PGA Tour was just starting the season off in Hawai'i at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions. Here we are... it's September and all four Major's and a little thing called the Olympics have taken place. The respective champions crowned but of course that  wasn't the proverbial "be all, end all" to the golf season. No way.. not with "Straight up cash" to be won "homie". Right Jordan? With the FedEx Cup Playoffs there just happens to be another 10 million things to be awarded.

This past week the Barclay's Championship was contested in Farmingdale, NY at the public Bethpage - Black. While there were playoff points to be had there were also Ryder Cup points on the line. Emerging victorious on Sunday afternoon was American Patrick Reed. Love him or hate him you have to admire his game and his oozing confidence (the Top 5 player comment). Patrick Reed is a big-time Callaway Golf staffer but it doesn't stop with the clubs in his golf bag. Reed is also a healthy "endorser" of Callaway Apparel which I had the pleasure to review a piece from (it's at alexandertothgolf.com). I was fortunate to have had a press release given me to distribute. Here is what Callaway Apparel had to say.

Patrick Reed picked up his fifth PGA TOUR win on Sunday at The Barclays wearing essential styles from the Callaway Golf apparel collection. This is his fourth consecutive season with at least one win on the PGA TOUR.

With this victory, Patrick jumps from the seventh spot to take the lead in the FedExCup standings and is now ranked 9th in the Official World Golf Rankings. He has also secured himself a spot on the United States Ryder Cup team for the second consecutive year.

For his victory on Sunday Patrick wore an OptiDri™ Solid Polo (CGKS60M6) in Tango Red. Which is a top performing polo packed with Callaway’s unique OptiSeries fabric technology: OptiDri™ moisture management, OptiStretch™ fabric for unencumbered golf swings, OptiShield
™ protection from the sun’s harmful rays with 50 UPF.


There is no denying the fact that Callaway Apparel knows what they're doing. Quality, performing fabrics and style that any discerning golfer would like. What's not to like? Patrick wears Callaway and maybe you should too. #IWearCallaway

Until the next tee!!
