Phelps started playing golf quite long before but he had to put a pause in between as he decided to make a comeback to his main sport. Notably, he brushed up his golf skills and started playing again as he finally retired from swimming.
The face of the putter has Phelps initials carved with the American flag color theme. Moreover, his Milled Grind 2 wedge has the Olympics emblem and the 28 stars carved on it. The 28 stars represent his 28 Olympic medals. Notably, according to Phelps, he intends to customize it more.
Yes! You heard it right folks! Instead of the fairway wood, Phelps uses the PXG 0811X Gen driver, followed by a PXG 0317X Gen2 17-degree hybrid. Interestingly, just like he is a fast swimmer, his swings are fast too, and his driver helps him do just that.
Michael Phelps is not of a typical height. He stands at 6 feet 4 inches long and has enormous hands. As a result, he has to use big grips, unlike the other golfers. Notably, the 36-year-old uses the Golf Pride’s CP2 Wrap Jumbo grips for all his clubs
Phelps doesn’t play professionally, but he plays by the rules. According to the golf rules, the golfer cannot move his ball after he hit it from the tee, and the ball has to be played as it lies. And the world-class swimmer does just that.
The pride of America has two French Bulldogs named Juno and Legend as pets. And as a bulldog lover, he has a bulldog head cover for his driver. Moreover, ever since he played in the Ryder Cup celebrity match in 2018, he has had a Team USA Ryder Cup head cover. He keeps it on his hybrid.
