But you don't mind Justin Rose and Dustin Johnson having their own logo?

Or Luke Donald , Hunter Mahan , Ian Poulter , Gary Player , Charlie Hoffman , and of course, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Greg Norman .

And who knows how many others.

I could be mistaken, But the SS logo could be cool enough to have double meanings - as for Adam Scott, or, his London rainwear sponsor, Aquascutum, venerable rival of Burberry? Very Clever!

Burberry used to be Adam's clothing sponsor, and his personal logo was the same then as now. That can't be the reason.

Or Ian Poulter. At least Poulter's is a business and not a tax dodg........I mean "charitable foundation".

Seriously? So those thousands of kids… they're just fake?

Sometimes cynicism is just as unreal as it is. The tax savings are never anywhere NEAR as high as what it costs to just GIVE the money away. Donating a million bucks doesn't save you $1.1M on your taxes. It doesn't even save you $1M.

I was being facetious to a point.

But the issue with the majority of these sports celebrity charities (and I'm not talking about AS) is that they almost always have zero public profile beyond the sport itself ( not always a bad thing, and I'm not arguing with a photo of a bunch of kids wearing some foundation's caps with a logo and holding up a cheque) and leech money from the more established charities so that research and assistance is watered down into a whole lot of small entities who don't communicate and can do less than if they were all working under one umbrella.

As an analogy, is it better to have one US Junior Golf Foundation with multiple branches or 20 different organisations all reinventing the wheel and duplicating but not communicating or sharing a vision, let alone resources or advertising/promotional costs?

And the "administrative" costs of some of even the most well known charities are absolutely shocking. I'm not suggesting that people who work for charities should work for free, but I have real problems with organisations that get 20 million, use 18 million for "operating and fundraising expenses" and pay a CEO $500,000.

There are plenty of charitable foundations which are established and are reputable - although charity navigator.org will open the eyes of some.

Golfer Joe Blo will do more good by donating money to an existing, government supported organisation  ( or better still, unsupported ones) rather than setting up infrastructure and paying graphic designers and clothing manufacturers.

For example - The RSPCA in Australia, gets no government support at all. It's outrageous. I give monthly and hate even seeing the cost of a postage stamp being sent to me so I don't want printed materials  - I want every cent going to the cause.

If Aussie Golfer gave $1m annually to the RSPCA , it would be more useful than him setting up the Aussie Golfer Animals' Trust.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Just as a humorous side note - every time Adam Scott is on TV, I think the University of Queensland gets a ton of free advertising!!!

It can be that way here too.  There are a ton of fake veteran charities and police support charities, so you have to be careful.

But, many charities set up by sports figures and celebs help out people who may otherwise not ever get support or the recognition.  They tend to be personal or connected to a disease/issue that is close to them.  It may divert money away from other charities, but they would not receive support otherwise.

Thought it would be appropriate to post it in the old thread but anyone notice Adam Scott no longer has the Mercedes logo on his shirts.

Yes. I heard they found out that despite being incredibly dry and boring, he was not in fact German.

    • You all are right, its not that big of an issue, I'll leave it alone, especially after looking at that picture of Tigers beat up putter. But I also noticed the small circle worn on the sweet-spot where he hits it every time, I definitely don't have one of those. Thanks for the replies   
    • Committing to one brand of ball this year - Snell MTB Prime X, the 5 doz. pack. Like how they perform for me. At $18/doz., can live with cover scuffing. Iron regripping with GolfPrice MCC+4 Teams std. in red/navy. May be retiring Odyssey Dual Force after 30 yrs. Seems like I can't get it to the hole anymore. Kind of light and has lots of toe hang. My reg. group's hounding finally wore me down.    From Callaway preowned - trying out the Odyssey Tri-Hot 5K in double wide (less toe hang) and triple wide (face balanced). Both also noticeably heavier...we shall see.  
    • WOW, it looks like he has been hitting stones with that putter to put all of those nicks into it.  I can't see how a ball would cause many those dings.
    • I'm fighting a knee as well as a foot so I "Feel your pain".  Luckily for me the PT is helping at this time and I am hoping knee surgery is not imminent.  Best of luck to you.
