Too much branding??

What an exciting weekend of golf! Rory McIlroy had an awesome win. I am sure more than a few Guinness were consumed in the pubs in Ireland and the States. And he is so young - what a life ahead of him!

Did you happen to see Y.E.Yang? Do you think he had enough branding on his shirt. I don't think there was another spot to be had on his shirt. Maybe that's why he fell apart at the end - he was sea sick from all the logo's. Since every brand means more sponsor dollars for the player, I am sure they do not care if all the spots on the shirt and pants are taken. Pretty soon, they will look like Nascar drivers. Maybe they should star wearing coveralls.?? Nothing against Nascar drivers because that is their norm. Isn't golf supposed to be a classy sport??

I do think branding can be overdone. I am still partial to the classy look.
