Why is it so hard to resist the poser bag?

[LittlePoison1980]

Bad news, brahs. I had to part ways with my toy sponsors. The My Little Pony Bag also came with some pastel colored polos that were, shall we say, a bit too "glittery," if you catch my drift.

[jons1]

Your agent should have suggested a new direction to extend the relationship.... my big pony

[LittlePoison1980]

We discussed it, but signing autographs with kids around just seemed inappropriate.

We're currently courting the company that makes Fred Funk's cologne. I could get my own scent out of this... I told them sweat and tears wasn't the trend of the future.

[BobbyDPlaysGolf]

I have the mizuno irons with the tm woods adidas bag and shoes. Have vokey wedges, scotty putter, and lots of foot joy gear. Does this make me a double half poser?

[/quote]

No. Addidas owns Taylor Made, so you should be fine (and trendy!) with the woods and the bag. All you need to remember is metal wood contract. That's it. You had to argue for rights to fill out the rest of your bag on your own terms, and have a say in the new clothing designs coming out. Just remember to actually wear Adidas shoes and clothing, and throw the odd TM ball in "for testing purposes."

[BobbyDPlaysGolf]

and i'm just curious, does anyone on this forum own a "hustle set"? Although not an official poser there should be some recognition for the golfer that went out of his way going from thrift store to thrift store to find a mis matched set that he threw into an older beat up looking leather bag. He poses as an innocent bystander, who sure does love a good bet. He loves to pull his first tee shot OB left. Generally recognized as the guy dressed in knickers rocking a porn stache.

[Gauchograd99]

Let's not bring the poor knickers into this. Forgotten by most players and shunned by others. I would love to get a knickers contract that is seasonal for when the weather might require long pants instead of shorts.

[LittlePoison1980]

You'd better have the legs to wear knickers.

[Gauchograd99]

Well, it would cover up the psoriasis issues, so that would be a plus. As for the legs, I played tennis in high school (minus the senior year when I played golf) and I played ice hockey up until about 5 years ago. I would be curious to see how they look before signing the contract, of course.

My set could be considered a hustle set given it's all pretty old stuff, and I carry it in a non matching ping bag that is more than 20 years old (and BTW, still works totally fine so kudos to ping). Only problem, I think I might be the only one getting hustled. I'm holding out for a new contract from a big player in the industry, and for some reason they don't think coming in second at my local golf course tourney is sponsor worthy. Seriously, they have no idea how good that kid was.

Geez, I think I may be in the running fore the ultimate poser contest. I'm all Titleist, right down to the staff bag, oversize "Players" towel and customized FJ Icon's!
Oakly outfits? Check!
Old Course putter headcover? Double Check
Huge Titleist umbrella? Man I'm on a roll here....
Now if only I could score some FJ socks somewhere. Hmmmm. And the icing on the cake - a 1 handicap that makes me look super cool to the people that know nothing about anything because I've gone 16 holes without shanking a putt. I love those people. They make me feel so.....sponsored.

You totally get it. Welcome to the club!

[Matt J]

I have a pair of FootJoy socks. Went to the club in flops and decided to play a round so was forced to buy them. I think they were about 15 bucks for a pair of black cotton socks with a small "FJ" embroidered on the heel. Approximate wholesale value $.005 I would part with them for the right price

Yeah, I've been burned by a local 13 year old Tiger myself.

Of course! Well, I leave the one that I make up after the round is over anyway. Generally I take the REAL card with me to post the score. After that, it comes with me into the locker room shower for a good cry where it can disintegrate and never be seen again.

Like a moth to a flame, it's so hard not to move toward one manufacturer. It never fails, it doesn't matter which pony you pick, a few years go by and you're ready to buy everything from someone else. I say why fight it? Let's learn how to be sponsored this year!

Pros and Cons

Taylormade

Pros
If you go all Taylormade, you can also pretend to sign a clothing deal with Adidas Golf, which really ups your poser game. You can also be young and edgy and rock the Ashworth stuff, so the options are really endless for you. Throw in the white three striped belt and you're practically a touring pro. For all their marketing, the clubs are actually really good, so it could be a win-win this season.

Cons
The ball is great, but not for everyone, which could really mess up the relationship with your pretend sponsor, and you're also subject to those things they call wedges. Also, their staff bags and hats change every 6 months, so this is an ongoing investment that you have to consider to maintain your poser level.

Titleist

Pros
If you go all Titleist, you have a nice transition from woods to putters, cause it's all pretty quality stuff. The staff bag also doesn't change often, so you can maintain your level of poser for quite a while before reinvesting. And let's face it, there's a million of these guys, so you could fly under the radar and pull this off too. You also have Footjoy to round out your look, which isn't too shabby I might add.

Cons
It's hard to find a pretend clothing deal. Sure, you can go with Oakley, Polo, UnderArmour or someone, but it feels like your poser game has lost some street cred. You also lose out on all the fuzzy feelings you get with Taylormade and Callaway marketing hype. I mean, how fun is it really to say you're hitting a <insert number> versus a JetSpeed? The models also don't really change each year, so it loses some poser edge unless you go with the story about Titleist letting you bag what you want as long as it's theirs (which requires some acting skills).

Callaway Golf

Pros
If you go all Callaway Golf, you've got some quality stuff throughout the bag. Some woods are hook central, but nothing the pro model can't fix, or a story about some custom fitting sessions in Carlsbad. Staff bags also get a big bonus, cause collecting the bombs is kind of cool, and tells you're playing parters that you're 250 yard drive is really a 320 bomb. Also, you could maybe pretend you're a professional long driver, but that really comes down to whether you can swing the club 115mph to pull off the look to unsuspecting ams that think 300 is long.

Cons
Sure, you can wear Callaway clothing, and it's pretty decent stuff, but it's not as easy to find or on sale. Those golf ball dimples also take some getting use to, but I'm sure you can work it out. Also, the endless questions about Phil could get to be too much, depending on whether you're a fan or not.

Ping

Pros
If you're a cast guy, you've found your home. These guys have lots of great options, and even touring pros will play the i series so you might be able to pull the whole thing off. Plus, you can also get your putters dipped in gold (spray paint might work), and start a room in your house. This is for the serious poser, however. Another good thing, you can pretend to sign a deal with any ball maker and still be legit.

Cons
Not everyone loves cast, so this could be an issue. You also have no clothing deal options to complete the full poser effect, though you might be able to pull it off with Oakley (especially if you say you're truck is bullet proof (don't test it out, no matter how many beers on the course you drink)).

Mizuno

Pros
If you're a forged guy, this is really a great way to go. Irons, wedges, and putters are top notch stuff, and you can tell stories about how samurai swords are made. Bags and hats don't change often, so you can maintain your poser level for some time. You can also pretend to be sponsored with any golf ball, but I'd stick with Titleist on this one.

Cons
Woods are not at the top of peoples list, and although their own pros will bag a TM driver, it lowers your ranking. You have no clothing deal options either, which really limits you to Oakley, Polo, UnderArmour, etc.

Nike

Pros
If you go all Nike, you have some great Nike swooshed options. Pretty quality throughout the bag overall. And when you sign a pretend deal with Nike, with it comes apparel, shoes, hats, street wear when you're not playing, etc. You can pull off the best poser image, behind TM, in the game. This is also the best option for the PLAYAS... you know who you are (no need to insert a cheap Tiger waitress joke).

Cons
You live in the shadow of Tiger, and it's creating friction with your pretend sponsor. You also would never bag anything but their blades, so you better bring your A game.

Wilson Staff

Pros
A long history of winners and majors, you follow in great footsteps. They are also a general sporting company, so you can mix in other sporting equipment to round out your pretend sponsorship. Also, they don't sponsor many people you've heard of, so in the US you have a higher chance of pulling this off (unless they are hardcore golf fans). Plus, you could make your own funny youtube commercial if you're the type.

Cons
Seriously? No, really, seriously? Where do we even begin? You have no pretend clothing deal associated with this sponsorship, let alone shoes or ball, but I suggest you're a journeyman that likes to march to the beat of your own drummer (may require acting skills) to pull this off.

Adams Golf

Pros
You're best friends with Watson... just go with it. Besides, you were also instrumental in Els leaving Callaway. This could win you an oscar this year. BTW, their stuff is actually really good, and the shaft upgrades alone make this a smart pretend sponsorship for any poser (especially on a budget). Also, you're inside knowledge about TM owning AG makes you not only the real deal, but gives you the ability to fulfill your dream of wearing yellow shoes.

Cons
These guys are associated mainly with Champions Tour players. I know what you're saying, it's only bad for the guys under 50, but it's still a major issue to consider to pull this off.

Cobra

Pros
You are the coolest kid on the block! I mean, you sip red bull all day, and party all night with the hot ladies! If you're young, this is THE pretend sponsorship this year. You got some great options with the equipment as well, and you can even COLOR COORDINATE with your other pretend sponsor, Puma.

Cons
Only for the young. Seriously, no one needs to see a 40 year old guy in orange pants. 'nough said.

Cleveland Golf

Pros
Still one of the top wedge makers, and a solid overall choice. This is a nice sleeper sponsorship. You also won't have to worry about all the pressures of shooting commercials or marketing materials since they never do it. You can also link your pretend sponsorship with Srixon, which is a huge selling point if you prefer a yellow ball.

Cons
Let's be honest, this sponsorship is home for the insane. VJ is spraying antler urine or something on himself, Beljan is laying all over the course with panic attacks near death, and where do we even start watching Keegan hit a ball. You'll also have to work on a clothing deal here, and if Srixon isn't your deal, you will have a tough time pulling this one off.

Bridgestone Golf

Pros
Fred Couples. Yeah, that's what you're getting here, and it's a good thing. OK, everyone likes some Kuch (don't say that with your wife around), but it's all about Couples here. The equipment is actually pretty good, particularly the forged stuff. You also have a great ball selection to fit anyones game with this pretend sponsorship, and all of them are totally legit options with Lee hanging on to the lower ball speed models. You also have a lot of flexibility with this sponsor, so it could be a win-win if you're a tinkerer.

Cons
It's been a while, but didn't the woods look like something Austin Powers would use? It took some serious wind out of this sponsorship in the driver department in the past, which is why you saw some other options in the bag. Couples or no couples, Bridgestone Golf just doesn't seem to carry the kind of poser power of the others, so you have to really figure out who you want to pretend you are.

Puppetmaster- GG has the different buckles on sale for $13 each!

What I find funny is the full one brand bag with heacovers to match but what's under them is not even close! I saw a few guys with 913 headcovers on some cheap fairway woods. Same on putters too.

Mine is a mish mash of stuff, but if some guy wants a poser bag, again how does it:

1. Affect your game,
2. Hurt your wallet, and
3. Change the way you live your life?

However, for the "poser", is he:

1. Spending his own money, and
2. Enjoying himself?

Other than that, MYOFB. :-)

You can't seriously be suggesting that you would play just as well without using one manufacturer throughout the whole bag, matching clothes, shoes, hats, and accessories, and a staff bag. That's why the pros are actually so good. Just look what happened to Tiger when he changed the sponsor logo on his bag,... he's never recovered. It's got to all match.

Ultra Poser - mixed Ebay bag of ultra custom

Pros
You are able to walk through the parking lot like an actual biker in Daytona during Bike Week. Carrying your clubs in a pre 2000 replica US Ryder Cup bag with broken zippers lets everyone know you are serious. Everything is ultra used and custom which allows this player to carry whatever club maker they choose. The original 975D, PT, Apex II's, alien wedge, Scotty Sante Fe, etc - all is swag.

Cons
Once questioned, it is actually difficult to answer any sort of question in regards to the equipment in the bag. You also have the possibility of being asked further about your playing ability. If it doesn't get worse. You will have explain why you prefer a milled putter and forged irons/wedges.

[thejuice]

I am applying for my Poser License. The Nike stuff is so good to me this year that I drank the volt colored kool-aid and bought a Vapor staff bag while obtaining a Vapor Speed driver from the Oven (a gift), Vapor Flex 3w, Vapor Speed Hybrid, and set of VPC irons (that I'll hopefully receive today). I just got some Edel wedges but that's probably because the new Nike wedges aren't out yet (although I'm not getting rid of the Edel wedges because they are sweet and not stamped with big logos). I also own TW 15 shoes (which are uber comfortable) and I guess I'll play the Nike Black ball since they are on sale at a local golf store 2 for $60. Do I earn my license Poser Committee???
