Nashville, Tenn. – On the last day of the University of Ala this year, it implied a sport other than football, one that co -found Travis Kelce, George Kittle and Greg Olsen thought it would be the perfect way to build more camaraderie.
“We saw how Nashville Summers is quite hot, they didn’t want to put the boys in the fields two days in a row. So you know what, what is a way of making everyone surround themselves? Golf. Everyone loves golf,” Kittle told Pak Gazette Digital before playing in Hermitage Golf Course in Old Hickory, on the outskirts of Nashville.
It was still a Scorcher under the sun of Tennessee, but Kittle was ready to go out with his group, which included Kelce, Olsen and his coach, Jon Embre. And there may be some ear plugs when it was Kittle for Tee.

This is because Kittle has a certain loyalty to its driver, one with a noise that drills the ear that resembles an aluminum baseball bat in place of today’s usual sound that leaves the face of a “large stick”.
The Nike Sasquatch Sumo2, most commonly known as simply “Sasquatch”, no longer occurs. His square face and his body, mixed with his white and yellow finish, makes it really unique to his kind, as well as the man who still handles him today.
Modern golf technology has created better drivers since then, but Kittle has not faltered for using it since 2014. He explained why.

“He was a very, very bad golfer, without saying that I am fine now, but it was really bad at the University. He had no good clubs,” Kittle explained when asked why he will not move away from this particularly old driver for a newer technology. “A boy with whom I played, a [Iowa Hawkeyes] Defensive Linero called Brant Gressel, had all these beautiful clubs. He was like a golfer of the 80s at university. He had three bad impulses in a row, and simply whips him in the forest, the Sasquatch.
“I thought, ‘Hey, can I have that?’ He said: ‘If you can get it, you can have it.’
Kittle called the strong ping, a sound that would make you jump three holes away, much less in a driving range, “cleaning” him.
And if you think otherwise, Kittle does not want to listen to it.

“It reminds me of playing Tee Ball in sixth grade,” he said. “Is there anything better? Just dating the boys simply hitting the ball? I love it. And if you don’t like it, it’s heresy and will be punished.”
Now, because the club is no longer done, Kittle did not want to risk having to buy a modern driver and discover what worked for his swing again.
He took the matter in his own hands, and thanks to some investigations, he doesn’t have to worry about that.
“In case I once broke it, I found as six of them on eBay and I bought them all,” he said, smiling.
It is very similar to using that favorite part of tacos or gloves in football: if it works, why change things?

For Kittle, the golf has more to do with the vibrations than the results on the score card. So, although his competitive juices always flow in the football field, this golf trip in Teu was about showing his teammates a good moment before returning home to prepare for the routine that is the NFL training camp.
“In general, just a fun moment to leave, have a couple of outbreak lights, enjoy and very grateful for Hermitage for leaving us here,” Kittle said.
