What are your imaginary sponsorships and why?

Recommended Posts

Irons/Hybrids........Staff?️

Wedges................Mizzy

Putter....................Scotty

Dr/Metals..............TBaG

Ball........................Stones

Bag........................Sun Mountain

Shades...................Maui Jim

Shoes.....................Allen Edmonds

Watch......................Breitling

Clothing/Apparel....Ralph Lauren Classics(Tom Watson said that they are very generous with F&Fs and do not have a "dress ya for tourneys" clause in your contract, lol)

Auto........................Depends, if I'm in the mood for a sedan, Benz, if it's a SUV, Toyota Land Cruiser. As I am unable to drive, I'd hire a driver. Also, I sit in the front seat, shot gun.

 

If anyone else contacts me and I put my name on the line, I'll keep you guys posted.

 

Some putz from an energy drink company was waiting outside Radiology last week to pitch me but I felt terrible, don't drink the stuff and thought it was very tacky to approach me there, so I took the ten comped cases, gave em to the local food bank, and sent him on his way ?

 

Have a Great day???

 

My Best,

RP

In the end, only three things matter~ <br /><br />How much that you loved...<br /><br />How mightily that you lived...<br /><br />How gracefully that you accepted both victory & defeat...<br /><br /><br /><br />GHIN: Beefeater 24

I don't care who sponsors my clubs or ball. I am not good enough for it to make much of a difference. BUT,..

 

I will sign on the dotted line to be sponsored by Mercedes and Netjets. I want to fly all over the place for free so that I may play where and when I want, and I want a sweet ride when I get there, say an AMG GTR.

If you need a grinder to make your weld look good, you are a grinder not a welder.

i got a set of AP2 irons and some vokeys a good 6/7 years or so ago and that began my Titleist deal. I then got the 915 driver, fairway and rescue, they are all in a Titleist bag, along with an Odesey putter.

 

I've never bothered with a clothing deal and I'm happy enough to wear whatever I feel like on the day, Nike, Adidas, UA, Lindeberg etc. Was on NB shoes last year but just picked up the Under Armour Drive 1's in the sales.

 

I've never hit a Callaway I've felt confident with in my life and I fell out of love with TM for the usual reasons however a few of my mates got an M2 driver last season and I've hit it plenty, seldom hitting a bad one.

 

Essentially I went through a period about 3 years ago where I was almost a Titleist fanboi, but I'm over that now and wouldn't have a problem changing.

Current "imaginary" sponsors:

 

Nike clothing head to toe - the only brand that fits me on consistent basis.

Nike irons, wedges, putter and balls - the ties I have with OVEN.

Taylormade woods - they are the best performing woods for me currently.

Omega for time keeping - subtle, classic design.

BMW for transportation - maintenance free warranty.

 

Agent is working hard on possible deal with Callaway woods this year, and negotiating multi-year deal with Porsche and Tesla if BMW fail to reach a deal to renew my contract!!

COBRA LTDx LS 9* 

Taylormade P790 2 Iron
Taylormade P790 3 - 4 Irons 
Taylormade P750 5 - 6 Irons 
Taylormade P730 7 - 9 Irons
ARTISAN GOLF 0318 mallet

ARTISAN GOLF custom grind 45* wedge 

ARTISAN GOLF custom grind 50* wedge
ARTISAN GOLF custom grind 55* wedge

Let's go with all sponsorship, not just clubs...

 

Marquis Jet

Lexus

Travis Mathew Clothing

Taylormade or Callaway Clubs (I always go back and forth!)

Super Stroke grips

Ecco Shoes

Breitling

Bridgestone golf balls

Mastro's Steakhouse

Tin Cup Whiskey

 

To be honest I'd be the least excited about the club deal out of all things on the list, haha!

After extensive testing and deliberation, I'm proud to announce that MIzuno will be providing my irons for the foreseeable future. Also in the bag will be an Odyssey putter, the first new putter in over 8 years. I was available for comment outside the fitting centre...

 

"After years of playing an all Titleist poser bag, I decided it was time for a cleansing diet to get the Titleist Kool-Aid out of my system. I've found new joy with the Mizuno MP-5's and an Odyssey Versa 7 mallet putter. I will continue to play Titleist woods, as I do feel they give me the best chance to post my best scores, however I will be testing a new ball and new wedges in the near future."

 

A spokesperson said his relationship with Diego International, the parent company of Guinness, will remain in tact as the primary bag/hat sponsor until his second liver transplant, sometime in 2027

Titleist TSi3 8º - LAGP DJ 65-6
Titleist TSi3 15º - LAGP TourAxs Blue 
Mizuno Pro 225 2i - C-TaperL
Mizuno Pro 245  5-GW C-Taper 
Mizuno T22  52º, 56º, 60º C-Taper

Scotty Special Select Newport 2

Bag logo: Dallas Stars logo unless someone threw me some money

I love this thread topic because it shows I am not the only loser and a half in the world... much love to all of you!

 

That being said, I've been a Titleist staff player since 2012. I was previously with Taylormade but after my poor outings in tournaments they cut me and that's when Titleist offered me a full sponsorship deal. Clubs, balls, and gloves. I am not handsome enough (they call it marketability) so they retracted any clothing or hat deals.

 

My agent is still looking to get me into a clothing deal, but the only interested organizations were seasonal Halloween costume discount wholesalers. I had to turn them down because I need clothes for the other 3 seasons they are not in business.

If I could choose a real life sponsor, add Macallan, Padron Cigars, and a winery( haven't thought this one out yet). I'm fine driving around in an F150

You're in good company! :D

 

I would like to pretend that PING is my "sponsor," but they would never let me get away with not using their putter, so for that itself it seems it will forever be pretend indeed. ;) However, PING for having always loved their clubs and their excellent, kind people and service.

 

As for shoes, we'll go with UA because my school actually does have a deal with UA -- all the varsity athletes and football players get free stuff, but at least we mere club sports people get discounted stuff.

 

As for my gloves/alternative shoes, G/FORE, because of the same discount reasons listed above for team/special colored gloves. Also, I could never ever afford their gloves if I had to pay full boat. :D

 

Oh, and I guess my team bag is Ogio, if that counts.

Hmmmm a real mixed bag...looking at 2017 offerings.

 

Callaway drivers and fairway woods. Mizuno MP66 irons. Callaway wedges. My old faithful Ping putter. Pro V1x. Footjoy shoes. Lacoste shirts. Zegna trousers (pants). Galvin Green waterproofs. Panerai watches to be a bit different. Guinness and some ethical charity logo on my bag.
