Amateur Player / Bag Logo Question

[Scotty_Tom]

Think I know the answer to this one, but had been told different recently....

I play off 5, mainly at my club but play some Opens etc. Recently I updated my company logo and thought it would be cool to have it put onto my Titleist Staff bag (with the detachable panel). What's the situation with me using it in competitions? I am not sponsored by my own company or anything, can I use it?

Thanks

Tom

Of course, why do you think you shouldn't be?

Surely that's no different to any of our clubs/bags they all carry brand names.

point 11 seems to indicate not.

Edit it is an old download though so I'd look for the latest one.

I found another one on google dated January 2012 and it said the same regarding that.

unfortunately not

you can have the logo on your golf balls, but not your bag, bag cover or carry bag.

this latter is frequently breached totally inadvertently with companies putting names and logos on carry bags that are then given out as prizes - I have one!

thanks for the replies guys, thought it wasn't allowed as such. Im sure I can use it for some general play etc at my club, but can change it out to another panel I have, when playing comps and opens. (although its a PITA so I cant see me changing it too often!)
