JAGolfore Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Will we ever see players playing golf balls with a sponsors logo on them? I bring this up as we all watched the masters and that little white ball gets a lot of close ups over the course of 4 days.

revkev Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 We already do, the OEMs logo on the ball. I would think they would expect a kickback from someone else jumping onto their wagon. Perhaps there's even something about that in their contracts with the players? Interesting question...

I use the chrome soft x ls on my league course. It has much softer softer greens than the club that I belong to. I’m on a mission to shoot my age - lifetime lowest round is 66 and I’m currently 67.

Miboy62 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 You might be on to something, if the player does not have a ball contract. Why can't he buy his own golf balls, and put a sponsor on the ball.

Why can't he buy his own golf balls, and put a sponsor on the ball. That is a great way to think about it. And why wouldn't you try to sell any available space for a logo. Yeah I get some can be a distraction but I do not really think that's an issue.

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy I thought it was interesting in the post round interview with Kuchar about the ace when he specifically mentioned hoping that they got a good close up of the B on the bridgestone ball as it rolled in the cup.

JAGolfore Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 I bring this up as I play a logo ball every round. No distractions at all. I just see it was another way for companies to make money. Imagine if Bridgestone had a sketchers logo on it and they sold limited number of Matt Kucher balls.

newballcoach Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 There's definitely potential here. One of my best friends is a real estate agent and when we go to the golf course (or other outings) he gives out his business card attached to a personalized sleeve of prov1's with his name on them. I don't know if it helps him get any business, but it helps me when I steal them from the trunk of his car. Of course, when I hit them, the fish and squirrels see most of the advertising...
