Kyle Stanley bounces back in Scottsdale

RussLawes — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 09:41:00 GMT

Last Sunday, Kyle Stanley lost a heartbreaking playoff at Torrey Pines, and some wondered if and when he would recover. As a former Clemson University standout and Hogan award winner, Stanley knew he had all the tools to become a PGA Tour winner.

This Sunday, he proved his metal coming back from eight shots down at the beginning of the day to win the Waste Management Phoenix Open by one shot over fellow FJ Ambassador Ben Crane. Stanley, playing in FJ ICON and StaSof, made six birdies and no bogeys on his way to a 65 and the victory.

Playing partner Ben Crane tweeted this post-round about Stanley's win, "As a fan of sports you have to love what @kylestanleygolf did this week. CONGRATS, Kyle you earned this. The whole golf world is proud"

The win moves Stanley to the number one spot on the FedEx Cup leaderboard and earns him exempt status on the PGA Tour through 2014.

Paul Lawrie Wins In Qatar

RussLawes — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 08:55:00 GMT

Paul Lawrie won the Qatar Masters shooting a seven under par 65 in the final round. Lawrie, in FJ ICON and StaSof, began the day with a one stroke lead and only made one birdie on the first eight holes. Then, on the par five ninth hole Lawrie chipped in for eagle to increase his lead. On the back nine, Lawrie added four more birdies including another holed chip from just off the 17th green to take a four stroke lead heading into the last hole. Finishing up with a routine par, Lawrie wrapped up the victory.

Lawrie later commented on his play this week, "I played lovely all week. But today I think tee to green, apart from my tee shot on 10th, I can't play much better than that."

This is his seventh European Tour victory and second win at the Qatar Masters. The win catapults Lawrie into the top 50 on the official world golf rankings and earns him a spot in the WGC Accenture Match Play in two weeks.

FJ Tour Diary - 2012 Qatar Masters

RussLawes — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 14:22:00 GMT

Doha Golf Club is the venue for the Qatar Masters, not many options really as it is the only golf course in Qatar!

High winds are predicted for the first two days of the tournament which could cause the organisers some issues. The problem with high winds in the desert is the risk of sand storms. We had a small taste of it on Wednesday when everyone was covered in a film of dust. A shower was very much needed at the end of the day.

We continued to work with Alejandro Canizares and his golf shoes. He is beginning to feel comfortable in his new XPS-1, and getting used to the different feel the shoe gives him from the Contours he is used to wearing. A couple more tweaks and we will have another happy customer.

Matteo Manassero has his game face on this week. Hot off a Top 10 finish, he is looking for another good week. Matteo also sat down and placed an order for a few pairs of his favourite FJ Sport shoe in a variety of colour ways.

The new FJ apparel is already creating a buzz on the range with more and more people beginning to notice the clothing worn by our staff players. Who could fail to notice how good it looks when you have someone like Rafa Cabrera Bello modelling the styles on the fairways.

FJ ambassador George Coetzee managed to pack a wrong sized pair of shoes on his journey over from South Africa, so the FootJoy team came to the rescue and sourced him a correctly fitting pair. George is now much happier.

FJ loyalist and new boy in town Peter Uihlein, a former world #1 amateur will be looking to take his game to the next level. Peter made his professional debut last week in India on the Challenge Tour. He opened his career with a tied 12th finish, and will make his European Tour debut this week in Qatar. We all wish Peter good luck as he step's foot in to the Professional ranks.

Martin Wiegle dropped by to see the FJ tour team, and ordered a variety of DryJoys Tour, XPS-1 and FJ Sport shoes for the season. Martin likes to have a bit of variety in his wardrobe, as well as a bit of colour.
This week’s equipment counts further cements FJ position as the #1 Shoe & Glove in Golf, with 55% of the field lacing up in FJ shoes and 43% trusting the grip performance of FJ gloves. Fingers crossed that an FJ player will be lifting the trophy come Sunday afternoon.

Next week’s diary will be from Dubai for the Omega Dubai Desert classic.

FJ Apparel on the PGA Tour

Devin_Gmitter — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:23:00 GMT

With the launch of our new FJ Apparel line we are often asked, "Who is contracted to wear the new FJ apparel on the PGA Tour?"

The answer is simple, "Steve Stricker."

That of course only tells a part of the story as several players like Jason Dufner, Brendon DeJonge, Jason Bohn, and Kris Blanks among many others choose to wear the apparel. Forgoing a formal contract, these players decidedly wear FJ apparel because they believe the performance benefits beat the competition.

FootJoy Proud to Introduce its Full Line Performance Apparel Collection

RussLawes — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:46:00 GMT

We at FootJoy are pleased to announce that we will be taking yet another significant step into the full line golf apparel business with the launch of our new 2012 FJ Performance Apparel Collection. Available in stores across the UK from the beginning of March, this stunning seasonal collection features a complete range of men’s golf apparel in a selection of contemporary colour stories and a variety of fashionable patterns. Every garment from polo-shirts and trousers to pullover’s and knitwear has been manufactured using the very latest high-tech performance fabrics and golf-conscious construction to ensure the entire collection provides the perfect complement to the existing line of FJ advanced outerwear. The unveiling of the FJ Performance Apparel Collection completes the FJ product line up that now includes all categories of golf clothing, mastering the balance in comfort, style and performance.

Following on from the continued success of the outerwear category, including the hugely popular and innovative FJ Layering System, the time has finally come for FJ to enter the full line men’s golf apparel business following a strategic initiative that has been carefully considered for a number of years. Supported by an extremely sophisticated and comprehensive study of the golf apparel category, the new FJ Performance Apparel Collection features an array of essential garments that can be worn both on and off-course. The range is spearheaded by four stylish and modern colour stories entitled; Cape Collection (Navy/Ocean/Yellow/White), Savannah Collection (Black/Red/White), Valley Collection (Purple/Charcoal/Grey/White) and Shore Collection (Navy/Coral/Khaki/White). These modern colour palettes perfectly complement the garment designs and allow golfers to effortlessly coordinate their outfits throughout the range.

The design focus however remains on one sport – golf, which is FootJoy’s sole passion.

Born from golfer feedback at all levels, the FJ Performance Apparel Collection has already received strong feedback from the professional ranks around the world and will be worn on tour by the likes of Spanish star, Rafael Cabrera-Bello and multiple PGA Tour winner, Steve Stricker who is has been wearing FJ apparel for a number of years, “I continue to be impressed with the quality, fit, comfort and overall performance of FJ apparel. The layering system is absolutely terrific, allowing me to regulate my body temperature based upon changing conditions. In addition, the new performance lisle shirts that I have been wearing all year are superb.”

“We’re excited about our move into the full-line apparel market and believe the timing is perfect. We’ve talked to golfers and our trade partners, who enthusiastically support the plans and offerings; the response to the range has been nothing short of incredible, generating numerous phone calls wanting to preview and book the product. We are confident we have an excellent range, and look forward to a positive response from golfers across the country. “This represents an important step forward in FootJoy’s mission to enhance the enjoyment of the game for golfers of all ages and abilities.” commented Russell Lawes, European Marketing Manager, FootJoy.

Rock Closes Out Strong Field in Abu Dhabi

RussLawes — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 08:44:00 GMT

European Tour journeyman, Robert Rock held off one of the strongest fields assembled in golf this week to win the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship. The Englishman started the day in a tie for the 54-hole lead at 11 under par. Rock wearing FJ ICON MyJoys, made early birdies on the second, third, and sixth holes to take control of the tournament.

He would then drop shots on the eighth and thirteenth giving his pursuers, including Rory McIlroy (FJ Sport and PureTouch) a chance to over take the lead. Rock would bounce back hitting brilliant iron shots on the fourteenth and sixteenth setting up birdies to give him a two stroke lead heading into the last.

Missing his tee shot into a hazard right on the 72nd hole, Rock with the lead, gave up much distance to drop in the fairway to give himself a better shot at making a bogey and taking home the trophy. He did just that hitting his third shot just short of the green, he then pitched on, and two putted for the one shot victory over the ultra talented Rory McIlroy.

This is Rock's second European Tour victory and by far the larger of the two. The win moves Rock into the top 60 on the official world golf rankings and earns him an invitation to the WGC Bridgestone Invitational along with the WGC - HSBC Champions.

FJ Tour Diary - 2012 Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship

RussLawes — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 09:06:00 GMT

This week’s FJ Tour diary comes from Abu Dhabi for the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship.

The Abu Dhabi National course has been severely toughened for this year’s event. Tight fairways and ultra-thick rough mean if the players hit it off line; they will need a wedge to get it back in to play.

We have had plenty of early season action, with team FJ having a very busy and hectic start to the season, with players keen to get their hands (and feet!) on the new FJ products.

Our Spanish friend, Alejandro Canizares collected a pair of XPS-1 shoes this week. However after being fitted correctly, it was discovered that he is an even-keeler. This means Alejandro has different sized left and right feet. Lucky for Alejandro we have MyJoys which allows him to order his shoes in a different size for his left and right feet. We recommend that all golfers, professionals or amateurs, get correctly fit for shoes as statistics show the 80% of people wear incorrect sized shoes, reducing the comfort and performance of their shoes.

Joining Canizares in XPS-1 are Richard Green and Padraig Harrington. Plenty of positive comments relating to the shoes comfort, and especially the stability and support it provides. We know this shoe is the most stable golf shoe on the planet so the feedback is not a surprise, but still a pleasure to hear.

World #1, and FJ loyalist, Luke Donald, headlines the field this week in the Desert. It should prove a great battle with fellow FJ loyalists, Rory McIlroy and Lee Westwood, looking to close the gap at the Top of the World Rankings. At the time of writing Rory is sitting proud at the top of the leaderboard after an impressive opening round of 67.

Our French friend, Thomas Levet had to withdraw due to a cracked rib which he suffered last week in South Africa at the Volvo Champions. Unfortunately he slipped down a set of steps on one of the tee blocks. Steve Webster was also hobbling around the practice ground on Tuesday with a suspected torn ankle ligament, after falling from a kerb and turning his ankle. We wish both players all the best with their recovery.

It was great seeing 2012 Ryder Cup Captain Jose Maria Olazabal this week. Jose was looking very smart in a classic pair of FJ ICON’s during Tuesday's practice.

MyJoys fanatics, Joel Sjoholm and Lee Slattery were showing off some of their creations this week. Joel had a funky pair of Shield Tip FJ ICON’s with a white base with orange saddle and tips, whilst Slatts chose the same style, but with a grey base, and black patent saddle and tips.
This week’s equipment counts further cements FJ position as the #1 Shoe & Glove in Golf, with 54% of the field lacing up in FJ shoes and 43% trusting the grip performance of FJ gloves. Fingers crossed that an FJ player will be lifting the trophy come Sunday afternoon.

FJ #1 Shoe & Glove in Golf

Wilson Early Season Magic Continues

RussLawes — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 09:18:00 GMT

On his third start to the 2012 PGA Tour season, Mark Wilson, with memories of his two wins early last year, wrapped up a two stroke victory by holding off a slew of contenders at the Humana Challenge.

Wilson, at 21 under par, began the final round with a three stroke lead over fellow FJ Ambassadors Zach Johnson, Robert Garrigus and Ben Crane. Garrigus gave Wilson the biggest challenge on Sunday as Garrigus took the lead from Wilson on the par four tenth hole with a birdie.

Wilson wearing FJ ICON MyJoy's and SciFlex, responded with an up-and-down birdie from over the green on the par five eleventh hole to regain a share of the lead at the top of the leaderboard. On the next, Wilson hit his approach shot into a greenside bunker, only to hole out the 49 foot bunker shot for another birdie to retake the lead. He added two more birdies on his way in, including a birdie on the last to seal the deal on the victory.

This is Wilson's fifth career PGA Tour victory.

Wagner Wins at Waialae

RussLawes — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 10:11:00 GMT

This weekend Johnson Wagner emerged from a crowded leaderboard to win the Sony Open in Hawaii. Wagner wearing FJ ICON and SciFlex, started the day two strokes off of the 54 hole lead and with many players in the hunt, Wagner would need to play steady - level headed golf to give himself a chance for the win. Playing his last 12 holes in four under par, Wagner closed with a three under 67 to finish the tournament at 13 under par. The 13 under par total gave him a two shot victory over fellow FJ player Harrison Frazar.

Despite playing the front nine in one over par for the week, Johnson relied heavily on his back nine play to carry himself to victory. Wagner did not make a single bogey on the back nine over the four rounds. He also made two eagles the par-5 18th to contribute to his 14-under par back nine total.

This is Wagner's third PGA Tour victory and the win also earned him an invitation to the 2012 Masters.

The 2012 Joburg Open

RussLawes — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 14:05:00 GMT

This week’s diary entry comes from Johannesburg, South Africa

Greetings from Jo'burg!

Well what a way to start 2012! Congratulations to Louis Oosthuizen on the defence of his title at the Africa Open located at East London GC. Louis wore his FJ ICON and FJ SciFlex glove to victory and secured FJ's 1st victory of the season. He is not playing in the Joburg Open this week, due to the impending birth of his 2nd child. Good luck the Oosthuizen's from all at Team FJ.

On to this week and it was another busy event as we try to get all of our FJ Ambassador’s shoe order’s for the first half of the season. This week we took orders from 17 FJ wearers. Anthony Wall was first up, who is an avid FJ DryJoys Tour wearer. Anthony loves the fact he can wear them straight from the box and maintain the support he needs. His favourite pair is 53767 which he ordered 3 pairs of, and also added 53652 to his wardrobe.

Frenchman, Greg Havret stopped by to order 2 pairs of FJ ICON one of them the timeless 52005.

[Gallery:12_joburg_open]

Spaniard, Carlos Del Moral loves the MyJoys programme we are able to offer him as it allows him to take his favourite style of shoe (FJ ICON Shield Tip) and add some funky leathers. Here are 3 different pairs Carlos ordered this week.

Base: White Smooth
Saddle: White Large Croc
Accent: White Large Croc
Laces: White Wax

Base: White Smooth
Saddle: Pearl Lizard
Accent: Pearl Lizard
Laces: White Wax

Base: Black Smooth
Saddle: Black Croc
Accent: Black Croc
Laces: Black Wax

Home favourite, Jbe Kruger also came to see us, as he too is partial to a bit of colour. Check out these two designs below.

FJ ICON Shield Tip
Base: Grey Smooth
Saddle: White Smooth
Accent: White Smooth
Laces: White Wax

FJ ICON Wave
Base: Black Smooth
Saddle: Grey Smooth
Laces: Black Wax

Some of the more organised players are starting to turn their mind to Europe where the weather is not always as good as it is in South Africa! Both Rob Dinwiddie and Matthew Baldwin popped by to order their FJ Rainwear for the season. Be sure to keep your eye out for the classy FJ Outerwear in the early stages of the season, as we start to ship to the players.

Fingers crossed for another FJ win this week, and with 73% of the 210 man field wearing FJ, we are hoping to make it 2 out of 2.

Stricker Opens with a Victory at the Tournament of Champions

RussLawes — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 08:50:00 GMT

The affable Wisconsin native, Steve Stricker won the season opening Tournament of Champions at Kapalua with a final round of a four under par 69 to finish the tournament at 23 under par, four strokes clear of fellow FJ Staffers Webb Simpson and Jonathan Byrd.

Stricker was in style all week wearing FJ Performance Apparel and split saddle DryJoys Tour's. He was, also, in total control of his golf game, attacking the golf course in Saturday's second round. Stricker made eight birdies and an eagle to finish off the round with a ten under par 63. The blistering pace gave him a five shot lead over Webb Simpson and the field heading into the third round.

During the third round, Stricker struggled to make birdies early but did not give up any ground as he birdied the final four holes to retain the five stroke lead he had at the beginning of the day. Now heading into the final round with a comfortable lead, Stricker kept his head down and continued his steady play to close out the field for the victory. Stricker lead the field in overall putting, scrambling, bogey avoidance (making only 4 bogeys all week on the rugged Kapalua golf course), and one putt percentage.

This is Stricker's 8th PGA Tour win in the past 3 years, which is the most amongst any player on the PGA Tour.

Oosthuizen Defends on Home Soil in the African Open

Devin_Gmitter — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 13:47:00 GMT

FJ Ambassador Louis Oosthuizen (FJ ICON & SciFlex) began The 2012 Race to Dubai in style as he successfully defended his Africa Open title at East London Golf Club.

The South African won on home soil for the second year running with a closing 67 to hold off the challenge of compatriot and fellow FJ loyalist Tjaart Van der Walt. The former Open Champion held firm on the back nine as his playing partners struggled for birdies, Oosthuizen running out a two shot winner on 27 under par.

Oosthuizen was by far the most aggressive player in the final group, and asked about his decision to try and drive the greens on the shorter par fours said: “On six, I go for that green every time, so to me it was a good driver today with the wind into me.”

A huge drive at the 11th set up Oosthuizen for a two-putt birdie on the 11th, and a 30 foot birdie at the penultimate hole all but sealed a victory that was confirmed when he got up-and-down from the back of the 18th green for par.

Oosthuizen scooped the prizes of €158,500 which provisionally places him top of the Race to Dubai standings.
