What is up with Rocco Mediate & those Dicks commercials?  They are pretty funny.  I wonder if Dicks is paying him as much as a club manufacture would?

An apostrophe would do wonders in clarifying the title's context.

Anyways, it's an interesting arrangement. Knowing the selection of clubs that is usually available at Dick's stores, I question what would happen if Rocco wanted to add a club in his bag that his sponsor doesn't stock.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

Rocco said that he wants the flexibility to play different clubs so that is why he does not have a club deal this year. He does have a ball deal with Titleist.

whats up with chris anderson in the dick's commercial...could u look like any more of a freakshow than that?

i am interested in what is behind that deal with rocco tho...kind of interesting,  maybe he didnt have too many sponsors knocking on his door and dick's just went with him cuz he is an interesting guy with no other sponsors...they could then use him to show off the selection they have.

Those commercials were filmed at my local Dick's in Puyallup, WA. One of my golf buddies was trying to buy something in there that day and got to see Rocco and eyeball his R11. He said that he was the only customer in the store who had any idea who he was.

The thing is sponsor dollars speak.  Rocco has mass appeal to the average weekend guy and he can play any equipment he likes.  Looks like a smart move on Rocco's part and I am sure that a lot of pros would like that flexibility.  I could make it work.

Anyway, yes this is a smart move. He can promote several brands at once.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.

      Puerto Vallarta Vacation / Vidanta

      By Mystique · Posted

      Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
