Waste Management open ... tacos!?!?!?


StrokerAce

Recommended Posts

So Wesley Bryan (remember the Bryan bros; trick shot artists?) is apparently sponsored by Taco Bell... and he wants EVERYONE to know.

 

He'll be using special "Taco Bell" truvis balls at the WM this week and giving them out to fans on the 16th.

 

Have we moved into adding additional sponsors on the golf balls ?? 

Is the SAP logo on the Pro-V1 next?

 

What do you think - trend or one time waste management open thing?

 

 

Remember when Bubba Watson used different-colored golf balls during the 2016-17 PGA Tour season? Well, that seems tame compared to what Wesley Bryan is going to do at this week's Phoenix Open. Bryan and Callaway have partnered with another of Bryan's sponsors, Taco Bell, to create a Chrome Soft Taco Bell Truvis ball that is pretty amazing.
 
To my knowledge, nobody has used the Truvis ball in a PGA Tour event, and this one will have the Taco Bell logo on it. Bryan will hand them out on the 16th hole where it has become tradition for different golfers to hand out products they are using.
 
It won't be the only piece of Taco Bell equipment Bryan uses in Phoenix, either. He's been rocking that Taco Bell belt buckle since last year, and now he'll have a golf ball to match. So will several other fans on the 16th hole after it's all said and done. Bryan is starting things off by giving away some balls on Twitter Wednesday evening.

If it was Chipotle's pepper maybe. Toxic Hell? No thanks.

 

Definitely will be a trend I think.

 

Never really realized it but the camera does focus in/zoom in on the ball quite often so I can def see this becoming a trend.  Not sure every player will be into it but .... money talks!

 

Taco Bell gave out a free taco to everyone if there was a stolen base in the World Series...wonder what happens if Bryan holes out on 16?  Hopefully he'll be in contention and this becomes a thing.  ;)

I am surprised it has taken this long. The most famous was tigers chip where the ball sat in the edge of the cup showing the Nike logo for what seemed o be an eternity prior to falling in the hole.

 

The truvis pattern makes this an ideal method for companies that have a simple logo that can easily fit. Just making a normal logo ball probably wouldn't be effective since it may or may not be showjng when on camera The Nike logo was just a perfect coincidence.

Absolutely masterful camera work.  Might be the best chip shot I've ever seen. I'm sure Nike got a HUGE boost after this.

That's the kind of "free" advertising sponsors can only dream of... maybe that dream is about to become a reality?

Didn't Gary Player use the Truvis last year?  I keep thinking Masters Par 3 tourney and ceremonial drive.  

 

Personally I don't see this trend taking off.  Logo's can be distracting on a ball and I kind of feel like if it was going to happen it would have already.

 

Truvis is a different beast and the Waste Management is a different type of tournament.  I also thought he was just using this ball on the 16th hole, not the whole tourney.

Tom Watson uses it.

There are superstitious people too with golf ball numbers and logos.

 

I don’t care if it is zebra striped with a logo. If they were paying me to play it, I’d figure it out.

 

Taking appointments for my new ball sponsor. Call me at xxx-xxx-xxxx

 

Seriously.  I mean look at the "hat tan" these guys get from wearing hats all the time.  Pay me to wear a hat and I'll be perfectly fine with hat tan...

I wonder how much the camera operators get from the ball manufacturers for close ups of their balls on the green. They'll probably be the ones to complain when the camera operators cousin on the sponsor vs them

Did you guys see my favorite player Ryan Palmer throwing golf balls into the stands wrapped in a $10.00 bill!  :D   He claims it was to help the fans have a beer on the 16th hole.. lol

Go Ricky! But don't get too confident you got a lot of guys breathing down your neck. And what's going on with Speith? Thinking too much about wedding day plans??? Tied for 74 and cut - that's embarrassing.

This was my favorite from yesterday regarding the commentary. That's probably the reason I change the channel when he is on. I'm not denying that he is an amazing golfer. Some would say the same thing about Tiger.

attachicon.gifIMG_2681.JPG

That's one of the reasons why I don't watch a lot of golf. When they latch on to a player that's all they talk about. It just gets annoying. Doesn't matter who it is I hate having golf commentators fawning over a player and taking over the content of the telecast.

There it is. I just figured it out. It's not JS, it's the commentary that I hate.

 

Oh absolutely.  There are times where I just mute the commentary altogether when watching tournaments - especially when McCord is acting drunk or Johnny Miller starts ranting.

I'll second that. That's why the tv is just background while I read MGS.

As far as JT, he is my swing model. I compared video between his swing and mine, and I have high hands just like him. And we are roughly the same build, so there we go. He just needs to calm down a bit and he could go on a terror streak.

 

I'd go see a pro here for an analysis, but he is the same dude that said he'd use the Titleist cart to fit me for Mizunos... yup, I'll pass.

I actually had to mute it last week with Tiger. Anyone that follows golf knows all of his problems, accomplishments and stats... and how this swing isn't the same... yeah, we know. Move along.
