Not only does the greatest NFL QB of all time (some may attempt to debate) wear number 7 on his jersey…John Elway also wears Boa golf shoes!

Grip it and rip it Elway!

The Denver Broncos “Comback Kid” sported the FootJoy ICON with Boa Wednesday at the Wells Fargo Championship Pro-Am.

The Boa Closure System allows you to minutely adjust shoe closure for a perfect precision fit. The Boa reel never loosens during play and the lace never stretches or unties. The Boa Closure System pulls your foot down and into the back of the shoe, which not only provides a custom-like fit, but incredible comfort and stability throughout play.

John Elway's golf secret? The Boa Closure System.

Recognized as the #1 shoe in golf, FootJoy has been a long-time industry leader in terms of performance and comfort. With the recent departure of the tremendously popular FootJoy Classic and the introduction of their new flagship model, the FootJoy ICON undoubtedly has some pretty big shoes to fill.

Heritage inspired, the FootJoy ICON combines contemporary styling, classic top-notch full grain leather and calfskin detailing, and an advanced lacing system. For those of you not familiar with Boa, the Boa Lacing System is designed to address deficiencies found with laces, buckles, ratchets, and Velcro by providing a reel and steel lace cable network that allows you to dial in a precise and consistent non-slip fit.

Playing golf this Memorial Day weekend? Terry Ross of Golf Vacations Magazine praises the Boa Lacing System featured on the FootJoy ICON.

“With the Boa Lacing System consisting of a web of cables that tighten around the foot for consistent closure by turning a knob on the back of the shoe, the glove-like fit is one that you won’t find in traditional tie-up lace shoes. Much like the kind of mechanism you see on ski boots, another advantage of the Boa Lacing System is the quick on and off capability of this shoe, along with the ability to turn the dial to tighten shoes during a round.” – Terry Ross, Golf Vacations Magazine

FootJoy, the # 1 shoe in golf, and Boa® Technology, creators of the award-winning patented Boa® Lacing System, are raising the bar once again on golf performance with the introduction of the new FJ ICON shoe. The FJ ICON with Boa guarantees all-day secure closure and a performance fit, no matter how many holes you’re playing.

Inspired by FootJoy’s heritage, the FJ ICON combines both full grain and exquisite calfskin leathers, supported by a performance-infused outsole and the Boa Lacing System.

“The Boa Lacing System provides a number of great enhancements to FootJoy golf shoes,” says Doug Robinson, FootJoy VP Product Design & Development Worldwide. “Offering a custom fit and superior stability, the Boa Lacing System allows for micro adjustment of fit while eliminating pressure points normally caused by laces. The sensation on the foot is unlike any other golf shoe and golfers will immediately feel this difference. The enhanced fit combined with the fact that the Boa Lacing System will not loosen during play creates a stable in-shoe environment that is consistent throughout the round. If you haven’t tried a FootJoy shoe with the Boa Lacing System, you are missing out.”

Trailing by a shot to start the day, Kenny Perry (SciFlex glove) fired a bogey-free 7-under 63 to run away with the Travelers Championship on Sunday. He set the tournament scoring record with a 22-under 258 total (61-68-66-63), including a course record-tying 61 on Thursday, to win by three shots over David Toms (SYNR-G style #53883) and Paul Goydos (ReelFit style #53918, SciFlex glove).

Perry has now won five times in just over a year, the most of any player on TOUR, and 14 times in his career. His 258 tied the fourth-best 72-hole score in TOUR history and beat the old tournament record of 259 set in 1982.

The 48-year old Perry, the new leader in the Chase for the FedEx Cup, shot a 32 on the front nine and then birdied the tenth and eleventh holes. He was up by five strokes heading to the par-4 15th and put the tournament away by making birdie on No. 17 after hitting a 164-yard approach to within 8 feet.

“I knew that I had to keep making birdies,” he said. “I wasn’t going to let up. I wasn’t going to play defensive golf. I learned something from that (Augusta) mistake.”

While we were out enjoying some R&R in Florida, several FootJoy Tour players were engaged in a dramatic playoff at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial. Most people know that Steve Stricker, wearing SYNR-G, dropped his approach on the second playoff hole (#17) to within four feet and made the birdie for his fifth career victory. The 17th hole was the key for Stricker in regulation, too. Coming off a bogey on 16, and trailing by two, he chipped in for birdie from 19 yards. Strick now has six top-10 finishes on the year: a first, a second, a third, a fourth, a sixth, and a seventh.

Also in the playoff was Steve Marino who was actually wearing the new FJ Icon BOA, style #52228. Marino fired four rounds in the 60’s (including a third round 62) to finish at 17-under and tied for the lead. While he was eliminated from the playoff after the first hole of sudden death, the Oklahoma-native secured his best finish and third top ten of the year.

FootJoy athlete, Paul Goydos, almost took the prize at the Valero Texas Open this weekend in San Antonio wearing FootJoy ReelFits with Boa Technology. With a one stroke lead going into the last 2 holes, Goydos bogeyed the last two holes, taking third behind Zach Johnson and James Driscoll. For complete results click HERE.
