I think the LIV disruption will change how people make decisions. It's hard to predict the end result. Way too early. The Saudis have the money to keep this disruption up. The question will be if they can get the club manufacturers into the team aspect and will people watch. They can pump money in, but sponsors need to see value in giving dollars to LIV players. I think the supply of big names to poach will shrink considerably after this introductory stage. It will become about the younger, up and coming talent and which direction they choose to go. Also, will the world golf rankings accept the LIV tour? That's where the Majors come into play. Still a lot of questions out there.
It's an interesting development in golf and also a very interesting case study for business.

I agree with everything you remarked on. I am curious how people feel about the ethics and views of the Saudis and players defecting to a tour funded with Saudi money. It is a lot of money being thrown at these players which provokes the "what would you do" question.
Barkley's comments did get me thinking. |
My feelings if I had that kind of talent.

I like the rubber offering from these guys for my apple watch, not sure what kind of watch you are looking for a band for. Pretty much my Apple watch is my daily driver. A watch like my Breitling Bentley is reserved for nights out. Even with that watch, when it needed a new band, the replacement from Breitling was like $600 for a black leather band with white stitching. I found the same no-name band a the jewelers building in Boston and moved over the Bentley hardware/clasp.

Thanks, I'll take a look. I was so dumb founded when I saw those other ones. My daily's a breitling navitimer B01, I just change the strap to dress up/down. I saw some of those Bentleys and they're beautiful. I remember one had some really wonderful stitching on it band. I was never a watch guy but I have a little more appreciation for them after some minor research. |
You could take a look at nylon bands, also. I've thought about that route for something more casual and durable. |
Good call, thatll be good for the water too.thanks
