Off Course is back this week with a fantastic show. Hosted by Dan Edwards, each Friday he gives you a deep look into the world of golf and equipment in a way unlike any other podcast has done before. Today THP Forum Member and 2021 Grandaddy Participant Neil Javins joins the show to deep dive into going all in on a brand.
It wouldnโt be Off Course without some tangents, but Dan and Neil discuss everything from finding the right amount of golf to brand loyalty that led to a tattoo. This show has a lot going on and is one you will not want to miss as Neil goes Off Course.

Episode 113 is here and Dan and Neil Javins discuss the following topics.
Finding the Right Amount of Golf
Brand Loyalty and Diving All In
The Odyssey Tattoo
What It’s Like to Fit For Callaway
And so much more

That Pic, gets me every time…..
Another great podcast [USER=2320]@Canadan[/USER] with a great guest [USER=19092]@xThor[/USER]. Can’t go wrong talking about my favorite club brand.
Great show only able to listen to 1st half or so. Will be listening to the rest later. Made it just past the soft cap portion.
This should be a fun listen, can’t wait to dig into it!
Finished it on my way to work. I learned so much about [USER=19092]@xThor[/USER] – I knew a bit about you from the forum and catching up on the GD thread but thank you for sharing. You were a fantastic guest and great to put (even more) personality with a forum member.
glad you guys are enjoying!
[USER=19092]@xThor[/USER] is legit.
700 tee time tomorrow. My Saturday pre round has become Coffee, toast, theragun and Off Course. Sounds like another really good one already looking forward to listening.
Grant you son of a gun! I’ve never been more bummed to turn an episode off when I got to work this morning! Can’t wait to listen to the rest of this! Well done [USER=19092]@xThor[/USER] and [USER=2320]@Canadan[/USER] !
Getting this back to the top! Needs to be listened to!
I need to listen to a bunch of these. Dan, you have really good topics and from the ones I have listened to, you keep lively and interesting dialog going. I am such an old dog who struggles with new tricks. I need to make a time in my week where I stop moving at warp speeds and spend some time to listen. I would enjoy that.
On the topic of brand loyalty: I like to at least imagine I am objective and choose brands and equipment with an independent mindset. And yet there are things that move me toward some brands. Good products of course, but also things like having the opportunity to value and connect with the people behind the brand. In the end, it is about the people.
Great show this week guys, that was a fun listen. [USER=19092]@xThor[/USER] it sounds like you’re in a great spot and mindset with the Callaway gig, congrats!
I will give this one a listen.
Will be starting this one as soon as I get a break from work!! Can’t wait!
Listening to some Off Course. Lets Go!!!
Countdown to quitting time starts now!
This was a great listen. You can hear [USER=19092]@xThor[/USER] ‘s enthusiasm about all things golf, not just Callaway.
I’m not entirely sure [USER=19092]@xThor[/USER] was joking when he said that “You’ve got my card on file” bit. Laughing in morning traffic can’t be a good idea, can it? Enjoyed what I could listen to on my ride in.

Great episode, was fun to listen to. My mind was blown on how many putters and pairs of shoes [USER=19092]@xThor[/USER] has. I love both putters and shoes, but dang. Very cool.
Awesome episode. Especially around the 36:22 mark. [USER=2320]@Canadan[/USER]

I liked his little shoutout ๐
I listened to this one today on the drive home. I found it interested to see brand loyalty not viewed in a bad light for once. While Im no Callaway fan, I can certainly relate with my love for Mizunos. If tattoos were my thing, Id probably have a Mizuno tattoo and being a Mizuno clubfitter would probably be one of my dream jobs; so I can certainly relate.
IMO, being brand loyal isnt neccesarly a bad thing, it just depends how you relate to it. If you realize that you have a certain brand affinity and dont take it to a level where everything that your brand of choice makes is perfect and everything else is junk and you would never even consider stooping to trying any other brand; I dont see a problem with it. Its certainly no worse than the self-righteousness of some who claim to not be brand loyal. Either way, do your thing. ????
Iโm actually really appreciating Pinemeadow Golf of late. Their clubs are affordable and of solid quality imo. I know not everyone is crazy about them because of the clone aspect, but for budget golfers theyโre a good choice.

The fire emoji is orange, and often used as a reaction to a favorable post. Therefore orange is the best. Just like [USER=19092]@xThor[/USER] is the best!
