With the US Amature this weekend, we get the rare view into the bags of players who are (supposed to be) free of any endorsements or free equipment from any company. I was a little surprise just how many of the 315 non-paid golfers play Titleist equipment. I completely agree that it is great stuff but was just surprised to see they dominated EVERY category by nearly 2:1 or better in every type of club.
Thoughts on this? Are they all related to the CEO of Acushnet? Since the PGA tour sees TaylorMade Drivers as their #1 used driver, does that mean the R11 & Superfast are clubs for people just that little better? (no), or are is TM offering more money to users of their equipment on tour? (maybe) or are the very best 315 amatures playing equipment because of brand loyalty, sacraficing a better club or fit just because everyone else is (I don't think so).
