Did anyone see the Golf Fix the other day on driving?  He got on the Titleist tour truck and had a little interview with their guy in charge of regripping.  I don't believe I've seen such a salty individual with such poor communication skills lol  Michael Breed looked like he actually got lost in the interview a few times and didn't know where to go with the dryness

It was one of the WORST EVER!!! It was almost to the point that it seems like he didnt want to do it. He kept answering the questions before Breed was done answering it. What a nightmare that must have been for Breed. OUCH

If the guy was in charge of regripping clubs, I doubt he really needs to have any significant social skills to be good at his job. I am not even sure why Breed would interview him.

My thoughts exactly.

You guys probably didn't see it then. It was a disaster. When agreeing to a interview and trying to promote your brand, it might be in your and your company's best interest to have a glimmer of interpersonal skills and amping up your brand's products. Breed interviewed him because he was doing an entire show over driving, and a integral part of hitting any club is having proper grips.

God this forum is probably takes the cake for dullest website ever.

alright, lets stick a camera in your face at your job. Keep in mind this is national television that hundreds of thousands of people would watch. He was just a little uncomfortable and gave one word answers, it wasnt that bad. If your expecting some elaborate poetic words from the grip guy on the bus then I dont know what to tell you,

God, this is the dullest comment ever from the dullest person ever. As my grandkids say, "whatevs!"

If the guy works in a fitting van performing club regripping he probably isn't from the sales and marketing department.  Part of Breed's job is pre-interview the guy and make sure he's interview worthy.  Either the guy got stage fright or Breed didn't do his job properly to begin with.

In either case what does that have to do with the website being dull?

To be fair to Breed, that's actually the job of the show's producer.      But I have to agree the interview wasn't Titleist putting its best foot forward.

Maybe he means the colors. Anyone in favor of bright pinks, yellows, and other colors? White, grey, dark green... I agree, somewhat dull!

    • I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.      
    • Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.
    • No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.
    • StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry 
    • So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...
