They'll follow the cash......UA isn't hurting by any means.

What I meant was, UA isn't going to be able to get in on the established names, so they're pumping their stuff out to guys without deals, the guys like Mahan and Spieth are UA from head to toe. Then you hope they do well and stick with you when Nike calls

Are you serious??Classyposter58;1572571 wrote:Why would anyone leave UA for Nike? You can get both an apparel deal and then a clubs deal with a separate brand. Better clubs as well
UA probably pulls in less than 200 million a year in net income. Nike probably does close to 2 billion, if not more. It's not even a fair fight. Nike will get whoever the fuck they want for the foreseeable future.

That being said.....UA is growing and growing and not going anywhere anytime soon.Laley23;1572588 wrote:Are you serious??

Right, and it's the best strategy they have. But it's just not realistic to think these guys will stick, which my post above kind of stated.bases_loaded;1572586 wrote:What I meant was, UA isn't going to be able to get in on the established names, so they're pumping their stuff out to guys without deals, the guys like Mahan and Spieth are UA from head to toe.

Nike can pump out Rory like deals and be fine of they flop (and they are smart, and wait till they are stars, so they won't). UA can't afford to be spending anywhere near that amount on a single person.

Again, this is true. But UA is approaching 20 years. Nike just passed its 40th. It isn't like UA is a startup company.Ironman92;1572590 wrote:That being said.....UA is growing and growing and not going anywhere anytime soon.

I prefer UA to Nike golf attire, that being said...my decision on what to buy usually comes down to who has the cheaper prices at Dick's when I'm there.

Northern Trust Open is tight with 9 holes left. Bubba and Dustin hitting bombs.

Man, it don't seem like it's been two years since Bubba won the Masters. It's one of my favorite golf moments. Played well this weekend, going 64/64 on the weekend to win by 2 strokes.

The famed Eisenhower tree on 17 at Augusta has been removed because of damage from the ice storm.

This is truly unbelievable. Dubuisson down to his final chances nails a shot from the bunker from 175, from the freaking cactus....TWO different holes.
Day isn't being real clutch but these shots by Dubuisson are unreal.

^^^ Nice!
I played Dove Mountain on Saturday from the tips (not the full 7800 though, more like 7500). It's still in pretty much the same shape as a couple weeks ago for the Match Play. Played really well and the course still kicked my ass. I probably played well enough to shoot a 73-74 at a normal course but it was an 82 there.
I think I'm gonna play there again Sunday.

I don't go down to Myrtle for the golf trip for another 7 weeks. It feels like an eternity.

He's been watching the forecast for about 3 weeks and finally saw an opening and booked it.

Played 5 rounds in Ft Myers last week and then came back to this shit. Took a lot of money from my buddies with good steady shot making and course management. Ill easily be the pre-favorite in this year's OC Challenge that Belly & BR are putting together.
