Parsons To Writer: "Brother, you need to get out more."
/Reading golf.com these days requires a motion sickness pill, what with the auto-play videos and other assorted pop-ups that have the text shifting everytime you try to scroll.
That said, the Josh Sens Q&A with Bob Parsons about his splashy new equipment company is most fun, in a combative, eccentric billionaire sits down with freelance journalist kind of way.
GOLF.com: Great feel. Great look. Longer shots. Isn’t that what every club manufacturer tells us? What's so different about that?Parsons: What’s different is that our clubs actually do what we say they do. Have you talked to anyone who has hit them?
GOLF.com: Not yet.
Parsons: You haven't? How is that possible? Brother, you need to get out more.
GOLF.com: Well, you've hit them. What are they like?
Parsons: They do everything I just said.
GOLF.com: Give me an example. What sort of shots can you can hit now that you couldn’t hit before?
Parsons: One of the differences with me compared to many guys who have much lower indexes (Parsons plays off a 10) is that they will practice in order to hit a particular shot. I go out to see how a club feels. And the feel of these clubs is unbelievable. But you don’t have to believe me. You could talk to Ryan Moore. We shipped him a set with no expectations. We knew at the time they were pretty good. He called us two days later and he said, 'I just put them in my bag, and they’re not coming out.'
Helps he didn't have to pay retail for them!
