Making more rounds to the range and putting green while the afternoon batch of players begin to warm up, a few more discoveries had been made. For one, a good amount of players do not incorporate superstitions into their golf game, but they do incorporate style. Players match headcovers to their bags, and one major fashion statement is the emergence of the old school puff-ball headcover. Players such as Scott Paris and Michael Quagliano all sport these heacovers. Quagliano also uses putter covers on his hybrids, however the reason for this "is a secret."
One player who is superstitious is Casey Calmi. The recent St. Johns graduate said that he has more superstitions than I would care to know, but one that he did divulge was that the quarter he uses to mark his ball has to always be heads up.
The college trend continues as Muhlenberg alum Rob Lobel sports the school's mule mascot. Zach Oyer, also of Muhlenberg also shows off both the Muhlenberg team bag and the mule headcover. David Rahal has the Lafayette leopard on his bag.
Andrew Giuliani has a New York Giants headcover as well as a USA putter cover.
