Check out this update from our Tour reps on the European Tour…
Approaching the end of the season, there is plenty of interest in the new styles for the 2009 season. We are fielding lots of questions about SYNR-G and the new styles of Classics for next year. Over the course of the next month or so, all the FootJoy players will get the chance to order shoes for next season.
This week at the Castello Masters near Valencia, world no.7 Camilo Villegas is making a rare appearance. He turned out in todays pro am wearing a gleaming white pair of shield-tip Classics (style 50666).
Henrik Stenson, no.10 in the world rankings, collected two new pairs of Classic Tour BOA. He is a regular wearer of orthotics and wears ReelFits exclusively. This week he picked up a few custom pairs - a black shoe with a dark brown saddle, and white with a black saddle.
Young staffer Rory McIlroy is planning his wardrobe for 2009 and inquired about some retro custom Classics in suede leather. Watch out for him in some funky styles next year!!
Following a packing error, Peter O’Malley needed a pair of shoes in an emergency for this week and was delighted with a new pair of white ReelFit (style 53843). He put them on straight out of the box and went to the tee to play his practice round.
Young English professional, Chris Wood, has been working with the European Tour physiotherapy team on a problem with his heel. We are going to arrange a laser fitting for him so we can try to help with a change of style and size. The physio team also think that his feet are different sizes so we are likely to be ordering customs for him in future.
That’s all for this week from Spain… the next stop is Valderrama for the season-ending Volvo Masters!!
