The Players Championship is here and we are kicking off the fun of our tournament Golf Pride Contests. This will also serve as our official thread for the tournament bringing the banter and conversation through the weekend.
The Prize
You will get a full set of any Golf Pride grips you would like. Did you know more than 80% of the PGA Tour uses Golf Pride grips and there are no sponsorships involved?
How to Enter
Post below who you think will win. For the tie breaker, include in your entry, how many players in the top 10, will be using Golf Pride Grips. If nobody picks the winner, we will choose based on the tie breaker.
Entries must be posted by the time the first players tee off..

And luck.

Taking the shot (trying the low draw on that hole) took guts.
The result – yep; lucky bounce.
Luck tends to favor the prepared.

I wouldn’t take them back if I was in his position. I’d go to (almost) any other apparel company that offered me a decent deal.
[/QUOTE]
I get it, I would feel the same way as you do, but…. Polo isn’t taking him back, and no other fashion company has rushed to sign him either. Ralph Lauren was smart to drop him, and it’s as simple as that.
You want to be a paid brand ambassador, you can’t act or say something offensive to the sponsor or their base of support. He couldn’t have said anything more offensive to those in the fashion industry, so guess what? He learned a life lesson.
Does that mean he’s a bad person? No. He seems like a really nice young man who made a mistake, realizes it, and is accepting the consequences a lot better than some older golf fans on this forum.
btw…. I’m an older golf fan, but getting riled up about a kid under 30 who is worth over 50 million dollars losing a clothing deal isn’t something that is going to happen.

Or as I say – “Being lucky is as good as being good, it just doesn’t happen as often.”

My thought was that the reporter [I]knew[/I] JT would have that emotional reaction and deliberately went after it.
[/QUOTE]
Of course he did. It’s what these guys do.
Personally, I’ve developed an intense dislike for “news” “reporters” of all stripes.

So what your saying is Bryson is the only relevant thing in golf right now?
[/QUOTE]
This obsession of your’s with DeChambeau is unseemly.
