Well, the Masters is over and now important decisions must be made for the 2022 Golf season. Let’s start with what Nike Golf gear are you going to be bringing?
And remember just like clubs – it is important to get the right fitting.
Not too tight.
Found these options in Bangkok.
From a marketing perspective the Masters happens at a time when golf gets to be the sporting event focus. And it is of course rich with tradition.
If you create a corporate golf event that becomes your major. It allows you to let it be whatever you want. So, if you haven’t started or sponsored some type of golf event – ask yourself why?
Let 2022 be the last year that your company isn’t involved in some type of golf marketing
Siam Country Club Plantation Course has been known to eat many Pro V1 x Balls. Once found they are of course sold. This group of 4 lost balls came in 150 THB or about $4.47 USD.
Before we get into the story about the balls, here are some shots of Siam Plantation Course. Before my round even started I met a pro player from Australia and the chat with him made my day. We can see why it is hungry to eat Pro V1x Balls.
So, here I’ll make up a few stories about these four lost balls. Enjoy.
While these four balls came from different places they ended up as friends. Two of them came from the blue pill Matrix side and the other two from the red pill side. They learned to set aside those differences. Because the only way the were going to survive was if they worked together.
That’s the most important thing in life – working together.
The leader of the blue group was proud to show of their love of lines. To them lines are what make the game for them. They love reading lines even if they may have ended up in a rough or water.
The happiest member of the red group was of course PJW. We all know this type. They want you to know who they are and that they were just as happy to be a lost ball as they would have been to stay in the bag.
But you can’t have a leader of the group without a strong sidekick. These balls may not have even wanted to be lost, but they were willing to get lost to help out their friends.
J loves the low key approach to life. And double line just goes with the flow
If any of these are your lost balls send me an email before I lose them again. roger@ygetarts.com
The new Callaway series is making the way on to the course. They place I went to didn’t have a demo and I’m sure the clubs are great.
However, from a marketing perspective why use the name Rogue?
Let’s look at the meaning of the word and I’m fairly sure Callaway was shooting for the second definition.
Definitions
I’ve played with many rogue golfers in my life – you know the type. Actually, that’s one of the benefits of golfing with potential business business partners.
Now, the idea of having an elephant has a big hitter in your bag – that’s not a bad idea.
I’ll reach out to them and see if that was their thinking.
I don’t own any, but I don’t have anything against people who do have them.
I find them to be pretty funny. I haven’t found one that I’ve fallen in love with, yet.
I’m not going to lie Titleist makes some of the best golf balls on the planet.. The good news is whenever they release a new ball the old stock goes down in price and there is nothing wrong with those balls. But for those of you who enjoy new stuff, let’s take a look at what seems to be the difference.
Titleist introduces the third generation of its AVX golf ball, improving upon short game spin and control, increasing driver distance, and providing even softer feel. The original AVX was engineered by Titleist in 2018 as a performance alternative to its flagship Pro V1 and Pro V1x by offering the lowest flight, lowest spin and softest feel of the three premium offerings. The new AVX reflects further advancements in the brand’s industry-leading multi-component technology with additional breakthrough results for golfers who prioritize distance and extremely soft feel in a urethane covered golf ball.
– Increases stiffness of the outermost portions of the core
– Keeps the center of the core soft
– Incrementally decreases driver and long game spin
– High Flex Casing layer promotes high ball speed and low spin on long shots for enhanced distance
– Specific formulation developed by Titleist R&D, and precisely and exclusively cast by Golf Ball Operations.
– Increases the soft (urethane cover) over hard (high flex casing) differential which contributes to improved short game and greenside spin.
• NEW 348 TETRAHEDRAL CATENARY AERODYNAMIC DIMPLE PATTERN delivers a piercing, low trajectory while providing a consistent ball flight on all shots.
– 7 dimple sizes
– Part of the Pro V1 and Pro V1x evaluations that started in 2013
– The new pattern is longer and more consistent
– Designed exclusively for the low flight window of AVX
I love to make up stories about lost golf balls. I also talk to me golf clubs and balls on and off the course – because I care.
I found this golf ball playing in Thailand.
It appears Sakura lost a Bridgestone on a course. It is safe and sound. If you know her have her contact me roger@ygetarts.com
Did you know Sakura is a Japanese name that means Bloom Good or Cherry Blossom. I didn’t either until I went to Wikipedia
I’m imagining that she had just had one of her best putts on the previous hold and was slightly overconfident on her drive. It was buried deep in the green grass, so while it shined bright – it wasn’t an easy plugged ball to find.
Submit a lost golf ball picture and I will be happy to make up a story.
Send the golf ball pictures to roger@ygetarts.com and I’ll create a story
This is exciting. I’m not sure when these balls will arrive in Thailand, but I’ll bet getting a set of each.
I’m a fan of TaylorMade golf balls. I also have a SIM driver, SIM 5 wood, and SIM Max irons in my bag.
The brand is quite popular in Asia.

Think about that for a second. Each one of those is a marketing opportunity for you or your company.. So, start local. What courses are nearest you? Reach out to them. You will see that they fall into some categories (a) highly secretive (b) mildly secretive (c) open
Try to have your conversations with group c. That is where you can get the most bang for your marketing buck.
