logo whore

[Pete Balzer]

I did it. Played Cypess on Tuesday and went all in. Bought pullover, hat and shirt. proud of it....

[Tom_Doak]

I prefer to think of it as supporting the local golf professional.  But, you can call it whatever you want for your own situation.

[Emile Bonfiglio]

When I get that call someday, I'll do the same things....no shame.

[Terry Lavin]

Did the same at Chicago Golf Club today. Always patronize the shop as a guest!

[Brett_Morrissy]

Totally agree - support the course pro, or the club, special place that hosted you as a guest.

The little gold ball marker from CPC is v. special.

Exactly.

So did you get through the first 3 holes in even par? You had a pretty nice  September day- with a touch of wind.

"I logo therefore I am "  GolfCartes

Anyone have a personal record of multiple logos worn in one outfit?

Saturday I sported a Kingsley Bag, a Kingsley towel, a Kingsley shirt, a Kingsley pullover, an Exmoor Western Amateur hat and a Michigan ballmark.  Would have been in the running for a record till the caddie lost my towel... 

[Sean Leary]

My friend Tiger Bernhardt once sported logoes on his hat, shirt, shorts, socks, belt, bag and towel, assuring his place in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Look forward to playing with him again to see if he can break his own record.

Yes. On the other hand, one might be inclined to deny Cartesian dualism and argue instead that there is no distinction between the extended and the unextended, which would mean (absurdly, I admit) that Pete is not simply logo-ing Cypress Point but, while so attired, is acutally being Cypress Point -- in other words, that he now actually embodies Cypress Point. And with that said, I'd hereby like to introduce a brand new ranking system and best of list for the magazines to glom onto and promote, i.e. a top 100 list of the courses you'd most like to embody.  I, for example, might rather BE Ballyneal, Walton Heath, Canterbury, and Plainfield than I would Pine Valley and Augusta. I believe there are merits to this (subjective) new ranking system, not least of which is that the concept of "shot values" has even less meaning than it normally does; after all, what point would there be in shooting yourself?

Same logo? 

[Lester George]

Support the Professional.  No harm in that.

[Sean Leary]

Carl,

No, multiple, including his favored college team.

[Dan Boerger]

Fully agree - So, you pay more for a shirt (or other item) with a wonderful course that you just played. Nice to support that club and I'm sure the member appreciated it, too.

Now this is the kind of thread hijacking I can endorse!!!! Brilliant

I have a notion I would prefer to BE Paintswick.... "a riddle wrapped in an enigma surrounded by mystery"

If I should ever be put on life support I would not want to wake up married to my Brother-in-Law.

[Peter Pallotta]

John - GolfCartes can do nothing with that. (Ward, please correct me if I'm wrong.) It appears to fall outside the realm and constructs of normative rationale discourse.

Has anyone ever played Cypress Point, Shinny, The National, etc and not bought something in the proshop? Not in my group of visitors.

Come on, Pete!  That's all you purchased?

I saw all of that from another GCA'er during a Dixie cup a few years ago.  All of the logos were the same.  This gentlemen really loves his college.  When we asked him if he was wearing the boxers as well he didn't answer...

I can remember a guy that I visited Merion with who was looking at buying a lamp that was in the shape of a Merion wicker basket- when we discussed getting it back to Chicago it stayed at Merion.

[Craig Van Egmond]

My favorite golf shirt was from Cypress Point which finally gave out last year.  

Still have the Cypress Point golf hat which I have never worn.

Jack,

I played Merion on a saturday and after the round I was looking for a shirt in size L and wasn't coming across too many items.  One of the assistant pros then told me that a guest had purchased close to 2 dozen large shirts two days before me!

[Tim Leahy]

Pete, whenever someone sees that logo everyone wants to know, how did you do on #16?
