Is Justin Rose wearing sneakers?

Mr. Style right here (Getty Images)
After watching some Fed Ex Cup golf today and yesterday, I started to wonder about one little thing about Justin Rose- Is the guy wearing sneakers? From the naked eye, it certainly looks like it, as his current shoes do not look like any of the newer golf shoes that most Adidas-endorsed players wear. But, with closer examination, it may in fact be a prototype of a shoe that Adidas may be releasing to the public soon, as subtle soft spikes can be seen on them. It sure does seem like this "comfy, yet casual" style shoe is really catching on to many manufactures these days. This shoe may also just be one that not a lot of us have heard about, and should check out soon enough.

To me, it's a really cool shoe. It's got style and has a very casual look to it, which is awesome. And heck, it may even help your performance a bit, since Justin is one of the leaders midway into this second round at the BMW Championship.

Check out the pictures below, and let us know what you think about these cool new sneaks:

Pick of the Week: Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial



This week the PGA Tour visits Colonial Country Club for the Crowne Plaza Invitational, past champions on this course are Sergio Garcia, Kenny Perry, Zach Johnson, even legends like Tom Watson. For this event my pick is Stewart Cink, with great finishes in the past two events, building up momentum coming into this week. Last year at Colonial, he fired over 3 rounds in the 60s, good enough for a top 25. This guy has game, this might be the week to reveal whats cooking in the bag. Hopefully Cink can pull through for me, allowing me to gain a larger lead. The gap between the points is getting pretty large, me and jj might have to use some of our engineering techniques, to make use of such great space. Some notable players to watch this week are: Sergio Garcia, Hunter Mahan, and David Toms. Garcia was able to achieve a T12 with a impressive final round 65, another example of momentum coming into this week. David Toms, veteran player, was firing on all pistols last week at TPC Sawgrass, but was not able to seal the deal Sunday afternoon, but expect a great finish. Hunter Mahan doesn’t have a great record here, but I believe he will pull through this week, finishing in the top 25.

Pick of the Week: Zurich Classic of New Orleans

Helloooooo everyone, and welcome to this week's edition of Pick of the Week. This week the PGA Tour stops in the city of New Orleans, Louisiana, for the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. Nola is a famous sight to come see, as there are many festivities and party themes that are around those parts. It usually can attract some good stars, even this week. Studs like Nick Watney, Luke Donald, and Graeme McDowell have come to pay a visit. Also, my Pick of the Week for this tournament, Justin Rose, is making a stop here. I'm picking the Englishmen for this week because he has a relatively quiet but solid start to his season. He just top 15-ed in The Masters and had even been playing well before then. I see him to play pretty well this week, and hopefully come out with a win so I can make this race a little bit more interesting....

Till then, see you soon! And stay tuned for more blogs.

Note: So far the golfers I have used this year are- Phil Mickelson, Geoff Ogilvy, Rickie Fowler, Aaron Baddeley, Hunter Mahan, Ricky Barnes, Luke Donald, and now Justin Rose.
