Month: August 2016

I was out golfing and pulled out this sleeve of Nike One golf balls and was playing one of them and Tommy stopped me and was like, Woah! You still have some Nike Ones! You should hold onto those!

So it got me thinking, with Nike now dropping out of golf equipment (completing the cycle they started with Tiger and are now ending with Tiger), is my Nike gear going to be worth more or less?

I still don’t understand them dropping out. How many companies say, We only made $750 M last year! Yeah, we gotta ditch that division!

I suppose though when you look at how much they charge for freaking socks it gives you some perspective. I mean, all the rage in kids basketball lately has been these $25 dollar socks that probably cost Nike 50 cents to make.

Regardless, I’ll miss Nike. I thought their gear was good, maybe not top tier, but good. I never liked the way the clubs hit, but we still ended up with more Nike gear than anything else. We have three Nike Bags, Two Nike sets of clubs, and I’ve probably bought more Nike golf balls than any other brand (that’s not saying a whole lot though cause I don’t buy that many golf balls). I never really considered them the best, but how egotistical do you have to be to say we’re quitting unless we’re killing the competition?

So I’m left wondering, should I play these last Nike Ones till the very last ball splashes or hold onto them?
