Cink tweeted a New Years Message last night along with a picture of his new Taylor made R1 staff bag. Wonder why the switch? And I have no idea why this type of news interests me but it does. Lol

Interesting, with the rumor of Nike signing Rory and 3 other guys. I doubt Cink "quit" Nike.

Plus, Cink's done.

I haven't heard that rumor with Rory and Nike but I haven't been searching for it either.  As for Cink, his game has been hurting.

I thought that had moved beyond rumor to done deal no?

It's a done deal, the ink has long dried on Rory's new contract with Nike.  He will start off the 2013 season with Nike bag and clubs.

Cink robbed, well OK, defeated Tom Watson on the final hole and thus cemented his place in the pantheon of infamy.  Let Cink be gone.

Unless Oakley wins their lawsuit? :)

Cink?  No big loss.  He's not crucial to Nike's marketing strategy.  If you asked 100 casual golf fans, I doubt more than 10 of them even knew that Cink plays Nike gear.

According to Golf Channel Kyle Stanley and Nick Watney signed head to toe Nike deals. Also there will be a "major" announcement by Nike on Jan 14. This will no doubt be Rory to Nike Day.

I saw Stewart Cink drive out of Sugarloaf the other day while waiting to pick up my daughter.  If I hadn't, I would not have been sure he still existed.

Haven't been a fan of Cink since he gave himself a perfect lie in a "waste area" at Harbor Town. No loss to Nike.

Thanks for the link, I wasn't aware of the lawsuit.  It will be interesting to see how it goes.

If Oakley has a valid right of first refusal clause in their contract they could potentially block the deal for clothing and eyewear.  Seems the issue will be what percentage of the contract Nike assigns to clothing and eyewear and if Oakley will choose to match it.  Oakley used 33% in their calculations but I'd expect Nike would assign at least 50% to clothing given their overall market share in golf clothing and shoes is much higher compared to equipment

My guess is Nike will pay Oakley some amount of money and this will go quietly into the night. Nike has too much riding on this announcement to let a legal issue hang over it.

TM can have Baldy with my blessing but I'm seriously upset about Rob Rock.

Heck, I consider myself a pretty serious golfer, and even I didn't know Cink played Nike gear.

But then again, I don't follow who plays which equipment.  I only care about which equipment feels/plays for me.

I'm pretty sure you haven't reached superstar status (or maybe even star status) if Nike has to put your name on the poster

      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.
