This week, while Bob Harig chases Phil Mickelson around the desert, I'm at the PGA Merchandise show in Orlando, Florida, checking out the latest and greatest in golf.
Not that there hasn't been news off the golf course in other areas as well, but I still haven't heard from Jimmy Walker about the last video I made where I said he sucks.
Here are this week's #AskESPNCaddie winners:
@ESPNCaddie o/u on wins for @JimmyWalkerPGA this year - 3.5? And money earned $6mm? #AskESPNCaddie #PLAYER #nojoke
— Tim Nelson (@kotashaan1) January 19, 2015ESPN.com senior golf analyst Michael Collins: I'll take the over on 3.5 because I believe this will be a four-win season, and I'll take the over on the $6 million because I'm going to count what he makes at the FedEx Cup Playoffs, and I think he'll finish inside the top three.
@ESPNCaddie what will the top 3 products of 2015 be? #AskESPNCaddie
— Mick (@Reg_Daddy) January 21, 2015Collins: In my opinion, Switch Grips, Zepp and V1 Pro Technology.
Switch Grips let you change your putter grip and weight whenever you want. Zepp is a swing analyzer you wear on your golf glove that works with your phone, giving you instant 3-D analysis of your swing. V1 Pro Technology is the software that you need if you use video of your swing (and they work with MLB too!).
@ESPNCaddie How many steps you take on Day 1? #askespncaddie
— Darren DeYoung (@DarrenDeYoung) January 21, 2015Collins: If you consider Day 1 as Demo Day, then probably only 17- to 20,000. But if you're talking first day in the convention center, then I walked 25,000 steps easy.
The showroom floor is like two to three football fields long, so walking in a circle a few times like I did ... you better have some comfy shoes. I was going to wear a pedometer, but it would have only made me more tired!
