He's being sued for this... I don't know how it's a separate issue.

I find that reply a little harsh however I am sorry if my syntax obscures my meaning iacas. I guess the law suit is of more interest to you than it is to me.

There are many issues that are arising here, Taylor Made acquiring another star, the decline on tour of Cobra/Puma, breach of contract, advertising ethos etc etc. I wished more to discuss other issues within the story than the lawsuit that is arising from the story. I hope that is satisfactory to you.

I'm sorry that you feel it's harsh. It's brief. It's short. It's to the point. I don't see "harsh," but that's obviously not to say you can't. Sorry.

The way I see it, Villegas moving to TaylorMade and subsequently being sued is all part of the same story as far as I'm concerned, right along with the other things you've mentioned. TaylorMade loves to play this "rebel" role where they get to throw a bunch of grenades at people, and this may have finally gotten them in trouble. I don't have much to say about the lawsuit. I think Acushnet will win and I think it was sleazy of TaylorMade to do it. I also care very little about who endorses who. It's a money game and pros don't all play the best equipment for their game in order to get a bit more money. Zzzzzzzzzz. Not interesting to me who signs with who. Just as it's not interesting to you who sues who.

I guess TaylorMade will be bringing out the Araña series putters soon?

I'd be surprised if he switched from his Scotty but you never know....I think Kaymer uses a Anser still.

Slightly off topic: Does the lawsuit have anything to do with the PGA store not carrying any Titleist brand equipment currently?

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.

      Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
