I'm 14 - have a handicap of 17 and have been playing for almost 2 years - any point in me applying for a sponsorship or am I wasting my time? Honesty would be preferred to false hope, however if you know any golf companies that would like to sponsor a desperate kid a recomondation would be appreciated

I play on the UK rookie tour - I was thinking this could be a way to expand the awareness of the sponsors products.

Send them an email, Tweet them, see what they say. Answer, if you get one, will most likely be no.

My son is a 16-yr old high school golfer. He shoots scores in the 80's.

He heard some buddies talking about a TaylorMade sponsorship and asked me if he could apply. I told him, "go for it" as long as it's free. I expected TaylorMade to decline.

To my surprise TaylorMade said yes. The details are simply this- my son can buy any TaylorMade and Adidas products for a 40% discount. That's pretty good. We ordered an R-15 Driver, R-15 Fairway, R-15 Hybrid, and Tour-Preferred balls, and all 40% off.

This is really a smart marketing move by TM.  Get people using their products young and establish a loyalty to the brand in the out years as they get older.

That's brilliant. Could you tell me how he applied as I am very interested!

He went to the TaylorMade website. Clicked on "Contact Us". And filled out the contact form (selected "promotions" for subject). In the text box he just wrote that he was seeking a junior sponsorship and provided information about himself and his golf game.

After some back and forth emails he received a 40% discount on all TaylorMade products, and Adidas too, with a maximum purchase amount of $2,500 for the year.

Good luck to you.

      I’m not sure I agree. It’s just what the majority find more entertaining. Most people prefer women’s gymnastics over men in the Olympics. How much hype is there with the men’s compared to the women’s? I bet you can rattle off several big names in women’s gymnastics and only a handful of men. Women’s tennis …same thing. And sure enough, their purses are the same. However, WNBA, awful…LPGA, not near as much interest than PGA. Don’t think it’s really that complicated IMO.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By boogielicious ·

      Hence your Avatar!😜 I drink a lot of water during the day if I’m playing or exercising. I get cramps otherwise.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By snapfade ·

      If you walk up to a food/drink kiosk at Magic Kingdom and ask the person for a cup of "magic water" they will give you a small cup of Sprite for free. About 3 fingers worth. They don't sell alcohol at MK anymore so I go over to one of the courses while she hangs out there.

      This isn't some kind of natural fact. It's a lot more complicated than this implies.
