Golf clubs: Champions –
How golf champions influence who plays

Golf champions are role models for both amateur and other professional golfers

Golf champions, from the golf clubs they use through to what they wear, can hugely influence other golfers. Many people look up to golf champions. They aspire to be more like them and they admire them for their talent. You could go as far as to say, that golf champions are other golfers’ heroes.

Golfers of all abilities will avidly follow the latest news on their favourite golfer’s website. The official websites are great places to pick up any new tips the champion golfer has to offer and you can also find out what they have in their golf bag. This is important because fans like to be able to buy the same equipment as their golfing heroes, in the hope that their game is going to be dramatically improved.

Fans will also try and emulate the way their golfing heroes dress. Golf champions have deals with big-name sponsors, such as Nike, (and also for the equipment in their bag, such as Titleist) and so just by walking around on the golf course they are acting as advertisements for those particular sponsors. If golfing champions are wearing particular clothes, their fans will want to, as well, partly because they will now think that is the correct look to have. They might even believe it will help improve their performance.

Deportment on the golf course is very important, too. The way golf champions behave out on the green will also affect how their fans behave. Some might even go as far as to copy the way their particular golf hero walks.

It’s not only what equipment golf champions use or the clothes they wear that influences what their fans do, however. The age of golf champions also affects the age of people playing golf in general. It is fair to say that golf, at one time, was the preserve of retired men. Nowadays, it is increasingly being taken up by young people, especially by young business people, of both sexes, who use the golf course as a place to foster business relationships. This is partly down to the fact that there are many more young golf champions in their 20s or 30s and so it is shaking off its stuffy image.
