Phoenix Waste Management Open -The Wrap

Here are some interesting pieces of golf memorabilia that have been sold at auction recently.
It's the Omega Dubai Desert Classic this week, and the Spiv as done his homework. Checkout the best ways to earn some cash this week by following his top tips.
Nike Golf has announced the addition of Australian athlete Ryan Ruffels to its talent roster. Ruffels, who will represent the brand head to toe, will have his first ever PGA Tour start at the Farmers Insurance Open this week.
Titleist has just announced the launch of its new NXT Tour, NXT Tour S and Velocity golf balls for 2016, with a focus on new core and cover innovations.
The driver might be the TaylorMade M2 that get’s the attention, but after hitting it, the M2 Fairway wood is the main event. This wood rocks.

Rory McIlroy nearly hit the pin from 268 yards out on his final hole to set up a tap in Eagle and a place in the final three-ball for the fog delayed third round.
We’ve hit putters with computer screens in. We’ve worn vests that produce 3D models of our swings. Club manufacturers are all working on drivers with computer chips in, whether they admit it or not. Technology is helping improve our golf. So we shouldn’t be surprised by a golf shirt with a computer chip. But seriously, a smartshirt?
Ping irons tend to be chunky. It’s not a criticism, just a statement of fact. They’re engineered, and if forgiveness come from them being chunky then so be it.

What we know is it’s easy to hit. Well it is, unless you edit a popular golf website (don’t know what you mean-Ed).
If like some of us on the GolfPunk team you're an '80's child (well one of us), you might remember the Sega and Nintendo console wars. Hell would have frozen over before you could ever imagine Mario and Sonic in the same game. Yet here we are in 2016, and not only are they in the same game, they're going to be playing golf together. Thank you Mario and Sonic at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games!
