1. JJA, you have done a good job with your son(yes, I know his name but I am not sharing it so you guys don't go to the outdoors board to get them to reveal his school and identity), he is a pleasure to be around.
2. JJA's son, if you're reading this, this group is family, they only want to share in your dad's experience and excitement.
3. JJA, you make me proud to be a member of the class of 1979, rhey taught us how to be proficient and both written and verbal communication, and your composition skills on here exhibit that.
4. Has anyone heard from ReMarch, I expected him to show up here, hope all is well.

How do equipment changes work as a scholarship athlete. Does he have to provide his own clubs or will they get him custom fitted for whatever he wants? Are they allowed to use whatever ball they want? If they fit him out, what if he wants to make say a driver or putter change, is that all kn him?

Keep in mind this is the small college level so they aren't as swagged out as D-1 kids. Their school is Nike but the coach is on Cobra staff so their clothes and shoes are Puma. They provide the clothes, shoes, really nice bags with the school, kid's name and the flag of his country. They have 3 Swedes on the team and I've seen quite a few Swedes, Norwegians, Scots and Mexican kids on the teams at these tournaments. They also provide TP-5 and TP-5X balls.

They will pay for fitting if you want to get fitted with any brand of club and they have an arrangement to get any clubs at cost.

Having watched this for a bit now I would say most of the teams have 1, 2 or 3 players that could play D-1 and some have 5. There is another team in Arizona that has all international players that all look about 27 years old and are freaking studs. One of the California teams I saw 3 weeks ago is 5 deep. There were 4 Arizona schools and 10 California schools at the last tournament and there really are some very fine players. There was a freshman in our group at the first tournament that hit 39 of 42 fairways and made one bogey in 3 rounds. He hit it exactly where you wanted to nearly every time.

It doesn't sound like anything, at least golf related. If they have workout gear, it's probably Nike. I think he was just stating that the school's other teams are Nike, but they are outfitted by Cobra/Puma.

A few years ago, Baylor had as many as three different sponsors. Football was Nike, basketball was Adidas and Softball was UA. Obviously, this isn't common but it does happen.
