    Would it be possible some time in the future to add more brands in the pro shop. Brands such as Cobra,Titleist,Cleveland,Calloway and Adams would be a very good addition to the brands already featured. I'm not sure if anyone has made this suggestion before and if they did please forgive me .

    The best thing to do if you would like to see your brand in the pro shop is write them an e mail. 

    The equipment manufacturer would have to pay WGT a sponsorship fee.

    could be the other way around. WGT may have to pay them a franchising fee to be able to use their product line.

    Possible, but I doubt it. Taylormade is a major sponsor of the site. 

    Nobody does product placement for free. Every can of Coke that you see in the movies is paid for. When E.T. was being filmed they approached Smarties to be the candy that E.T. followed....they did not want to pay so it became Reese Pieces.

    I thought it was M&Ms??  Oh well, huge marketing blunder either way!  ;)

    Think  you are right but not really a marketing blunder as M&M's are still #1 and Reeces Pieces are still a very distant second if they are still even being made.

    hehe... yes they are still being made (one of my guilty pleasures). M&Ms are very prominent now due to an outstanding marketing campaign but it was well documented as a major blunder on the part of Mars Inc. at the time. See here
