**CAUTION NUDITY** Vokey has a moral compass apparently........

Recommended Posts

So i ordered two custom TVD SM5 wedges from wedgeworks with the full snow package ($60upgrade) and i choose my custom stampings, specs and i place my order. Just heard back from vokey and they are refusing to make me a wedge with the words "GETNAKED" stamped on it. I find this hilarious that they would have an issue with this. It is no way referring to actual nudity but more a saying that ive used since highschool while talking to a ball in flight or a chip/putt rolling out. It means simply to GO IN. Ive heard countless other guys use this phrase in my life on the golf course. Now perhaps im naive and it is just a midwest thing but i cant understand why they would refuse this order. I could just as easily get it stamped by anyone else and its still gonna be on "their" wedges.

 

I changed my stamping on that wedge to proceed with the order but i just wanted to get everyone's thoughts on this.

 

and for those wondering why you would say get naked on a golf course here is the way it was explained to me when i was 14 and first heard the saying. "You cant get it in the hole if she still has her clothes on. "

LMAO, I too use this saying, and have for over 25+ years, though I was in my mid-20's(1984-85) when I first heard it used and it was explained to me while I was playing out west, lol.

I can see both sides, though my only question is who in the hell told ya this at 14yo, LMAO?

Have a great season :)

yes...referencing getting her naked to get it in the hole is in no way a sexual reference at all.

companies have their rules, and not an 'explanation' section where you can plead your case. same reason you can't get 'hernandez' patriots jerseys, or 'ron mexico' falcons jerseys back in the day...rules are rules.

just find another place to get the stamp and move on.

I doubt any of the golf wedge companies would stamp sexual innuendo for a custom order. I don't think Cleveland would stamp "titties" into an RTX wedge for me.

You should have seen the angry letter I sent Don White when he wouldn't let me put "My Balls" directly under the Scratch logo on my new wedges.

The Custom Shop was pretty liberal with what they allowed for stamping on my Newport.

uhhh....

Do you read what you write? :tongue:

I doubt it has anything to do with a "moral compass".

It's more likely an HR issue.

From an HR perspective, it would be *really* easy for a female employee to claim "hostile environment" and use stampings like that as *one* example. When it comes down to "proving" HR claims, it's less about proving the case and more about disproving it.

Well, I guess a female staff member could have said "hey, that phrase is nasty". And Vokey, who is reported to be a pretty good guy agreed.

I'm not sure that's using a moral compass though.. But if it is, what's wrong with using your moral compass for the business that has your name on it?

Thanks for the explanation, I have not heard that, perhaps I lead a sheltered life. As others have suggested, get someone else to stamp the wedge or do it yourself.

Been golfing in the midwest the last 45 years. I have never heard the phase used on a golf shot either.
Must those CA guys haven't either

Just another example of people dictating morality to other people.

Priceless.

At the same time... Same principle applies...

Their business.... Run it how you see fit.
