I suspect that most of the negativity about this sponsorship is that 5 hour Energy seems like a sham - though it is just basic ingredients that don't pose any more of a health hazzard than energy drinks.

Does the PGA have any sponsorship guidelines?

Is it possibble that someone could be sponsored by Haamas or a Neo-Nazi organization?

The sad thing is that these days 5 Hour Energy might not last a full 18 holes. :P

Can you imagine how lethal Furyk would be if they simply had a 6hr Energy drink?

I'm working on my putting routine. The "about to pull the trigger and then got stung by a bee" routine looks way cool!

Maybe Viagra could sponsor a senior tour guy...obviously he would need to be a big hitter with stiff shafts, not a Pavin type...which reminds me of the time I tried Viagra and it accidentally got stuck in my throat..I had a stiff neck for hours!

How come Tiger gets a pass on Fuse Science, which is basically 5 Hour Energy plus lots of pseudo-scientific bullshit?

Also, Perky Jerky.

Viagra missed their best marketing opportunity ever when they were involved with NASCAR and didn't have Dick Trickle drive their car. [quote name="Stretch" url="/t/56511/jim-furyks-new-sponsor-5-hour-energy/54#post_692189"]

I think Avodart would have been a better marketing opportunity for Dick Trickle.  "I told my doctor I have a going problem, he said I have a growing problem"

Just call me FATHER Mike, Old fashoned. I have no hate for anyone. I just don't like to see the golfers of today take on the look of a NASCAR driving suit with logos on every square inch of fabric.

I logo or 2 on a shirt very tastefully done is fine Jims latest apparell with the 5 hour energy logo plastered al over his hat and shirt are the closest I have ever seen to NASCAR. some highlight film 20 or 30 years from now will take on a very strange look. Look at the way Woods dresses, TW on his hat a swoosh here and there and thats it. He will not have to look at clip 25 years from now and explain  what is that ad on your hat for??? and bless you my son....

All of the Nike staff players dress very plainly; it's a requirement when signing with that team. Even having additional logos on the bag requires advance permission (such as when Tiger had AT&T; or Anthony Kim with RBC).

Guess that means they shouldn't promote soft drinks or coffee?

2/3 of North American fatasses agree.

ConsumerLabs testing showed they have about 200mg of caffeine, about the same as 2 cups of coffee.   You want to outlaw contestants having coffee with their breakfast too?

If he could knock a few minutes per hole off his putting routine, the 5-hour version might be enough.

Speaking of taking forever on a read... Why doesn't the PGA institute a shot clock like in the Basketball/Football?  Once it is their turn, they have like 60 seconds to read the putt and make the stroke.  It is awful how long some of these guys (Furyk included) take to read a damn putt.  Like Stricker on 18... Today Junior!!

The painful part about Stricker's was how badly he missed his putt after all of that.  I mean, he was, what, 8 feet left of the hole?

Yes.  And 8ft is being generous.  You'd think they'd rolled the rock on that green many times.  I can't believe he misread that putt as bad as he did.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
