Quiz Time: Name That Manufacturer

Recommended Posts

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure Wilson Staff was founded in like 1913 - 1914?? not 2007

He didn't say the company was founded in 2007. He said it started that year with less than nothing. In other words, in debt. At least it could be taken that way....

Yes now it has to be Wilson Staff. Padraig won once (INDONESIA OPEN) and Marcel Siem won 2 times of the European tour (BMW MASTERS & VOLVO GOLF CHAMPIONS). 

Yeah, it's going to be Wilson Staff and we'll get to quibble over the sematics of the clues.

 

Regardless, don't forget that Streelman won also in 2014.  How does that affect the math?

I'd be dissapointed if it was Wilson staff and we hadn't been put out of our misery.

 

Also I'd have thought they'd have made more money than that given they a global concern, selling clubs, bags, balls and clothes.

Rest in peace long sticks - I'll remember you

I can do it officially next week, but since I'm in a Holiday Spirit, I will give you another clue.

 

Pro's using their equipment have posted 3 victories worldwide in 2014!

 

Does that help?

Is it "next week"? My calendar starts the week on Sunday.

Yeah - but after getting to know Wilson, they really are two different companies; Pre-2007 and Post-2007.  The heritage may be there but in virtually every way they kinda did start over from scratch.

Okay, so it looks as though UnderShooter30 was the first to get this fairly close to correct -- even though you did kinda back into it!   :D

 

Shoot me a private message with your contact info Shooter-- there will be a little something in the mail for your efforts...

No prizes - just want to see how perceptive we can be, and let's see if you can name this golf OEM...

 

Started 2007 with less than nothing...

 

Sales have grown to around $120 million by year-end 2014...

 

Just now turning a profit...

 

Equipment has been used to win 3 majors...

 

Four clues -- have at it....

Interesting, it turns out that the first two sentences of this were false, as was the fifth. Three out of 6 sentences are not true.

 

There was in fact a prize.

 

No way can you say that Wilson had less than nothing 2007, they had an R&D department, contract, and contacts if not manufacturing facilities etc. not to mention 92 years of experience. A company in the red is in no way equal to saying they have less than nothing. If that were the case, they would not be here today.

 

They have won three majors if you do not count the first 57.

 

However, it was much more interesting than a thread saying Wilson is making a profit again.

You probably missed the post about giving out a prize after all.  The rest?  It all depends on how you look at it. Bottom line I hope y'all had some fun with it...

He made a follow up post stating there would be a prize after all.
