    So When Will Practice Start Again??

    As someone who sells GT gear, I’d put money on it NOT “selling like hot cakes.” Until you’ve sold to college sports fans, you don’t know how tough a sell getting GT fans to buy anything (in any quantity) is. The very, very few of us here that buy lots of GT merch is rare.

    Dolla Dolla Bill, y'all

    No, it’s not illegal. In fact, most Apple stores do this/have done this with the launch of new iPhones, to try and prevent scalpers from buying with cash and reselling. At least when that was a thing, I’m not sure if there’s as much of that (or a market for) anymore. It’s just that if you...

    All In Challenge: Notre Dame Game

    I’ve gotten similar questions about the “T” cap. It’s usually “Texas” that people are asking me about though. Which I don’t understand at all, as it’s clearly navy and gold, and I’m in Georgia. I could see Tennessee...maybe. But not Texas.

    65% sale at Fanatics.com

    This is true. Always, always check all of the Fanatics-operated sites. There is always at least one that is running a “sale” and is considerably cheaper than the others.

    Well....I was going to add that in as well. We do seem to be a much older (on average) fanbase than most, so we may very well be impacted by that also.

    If we have a football season, I’m curious to see how the stands look in terms of attendance. I feel that we (GT) are a much more pessimistic/negative group of fans as a whole, much more than a lot of schools. I could see our stands being even more empty than usual.

    Thoughts on fan-less games

    Unfortunately I see it differently. I operate a golf course and have been open this entire time, and have been doing so for 25+ years. I see how little common sense the public can have, and see how much we have to protect people from themselves all the time. Yes, it can be done, but I don’t...

    Thoughts on fan-less games

    I personally definitely don’t think that “social distancing”/spacing could be done in a stadium and not cause way more problems than it solves. I think it’s either with fans as usual, or (more than likely) no fans at all. I think any in-between is a logistical nightmare.

    2020 Adidas Swag Thread

    Can’t remember which thread, but I posted these a while back. Good company to work with, too. I had them custom make A 30 oz cup with GT on one side, and my golf course’s logo on the opposite side. Looking to bring the company’s products into the proshop for resale soon.

    Yes, it is very strange. Again, I’ve never seen anything like this. I’ve worked in the industry through the “Tiger Woods boom”, and that was nothing like this. I’ve never turned away so many customers across all 7 days of the week as we are now...I simply can’t take all of them due to the...

    Shopping centers and malls are shut down, but I’m just seeing people shift where they are going. I see 45 minute long lines to get into Home Depot, Lowes, local hardware stores, Walmart, etc. People are piling into parks, and like us, golf courses. I really don’t see people staying home...

    Are things really “shut down” though? I don’t see much, if any difference around me. Roads are still crowded as ever, any time of day. I operate a golf course, and I know our industry in this area hasn’t seen any slow down. In fact, demand for golf is up 2-4x. We are taking 300-500 phone...

    We’ve never shut down here in GA, and it’s been a freaking mad house. I haven’t seen this much demand in golf in my 25 years in the business. And it’s been bittersweet, 3-4 x increase in demand, and can’t take advantage of it at all. Revenue potential actually cut in half because of social...

    2020 Adidas Swag Thread

    Well there’s other options to make all white and gold customs on there. Or at least there were a couple of weeks ago when I was bored and playing around. Those are just some I did quickly when seeing your white soles post.

    And I saw this article just a day or so ago. Felines seem susceptible to it, but I’ve seen no reports of canines. Does China have a cat problem in addition to wanting to get rid of old or sick people...

    This is where I’m at with it as well. If students can’t be on campus until Fall at the earliest, I’d say it’s safe to say athletes won’t either. So no organized anything (practice, etc) until Fall at the earliest? How could we have anything remotely resembling a traditional season with that...

    I got that one too in my order today. Lol. Been eyeing it every time in the bookstore the past few months, and at the $24 or so price, figured the hell with it, and ordered it. I do like the way it fits. I’ve tried it on many times.
