George Kittle reveals why he won’t give up his unique Sasquatch driver

The Tight End University wrapped up its final day with a unique twist as co-founders Travis Kelce, George Kittle, and Greg Olsen decided to switch gears from football to golf in order to foster more camaraderie among the participants. The scorching Nashville sun didn’t deter the group as they headed to Hermitage Golf Course in Old Hickory for a day of golf.

George Kittle, accompanied by Kelce, Olsen, and his coach Jon Embree, was eager to hit the links. However, there was a noticeable difference in Kittle’s golf game compared to his peers. The source of the ear-piercing noise that echoed across the course was none other than Kittle’s trusty Nike SasQuatch Sumo2 driver, affectionately known as the “Sasquatch.”

Despite advancements in golf technology, Kittle has stuck with his unconventional driver since 2014. When asked about his loyalty to the outdated club, Kittle revealed a sentimental attachment to it. He recounted how he acquired the driver from a college teammate and has been using it ever since due to its unique square face, black-and-yellow finish, and, of course, its loud ping.

Kittle described the noise of the Sasquatch as “cleansing” and a throwback to his childhood tee ball days. He emphasized that the club’s effectiveness and the conversations it sparks on the course are all that matter to him. To ensure he never has to part with his beloved driver, Kittle took matters into his own hands and purchased multiple backups from eBay.

For Kittle, golf is more about enjoying the company of friends and creating memories rather than focusing on the scorecard. The TEU golf outing was a chance for the participants to relax, unwind, and bond before heading back to the rigors of NFL training camp. Kittle highlighted the importance of having a good time, sharing a few laughs, and expressing gratitude to Hermitage Golf Course for hosting them.

As the tight ends wrapped up their golf excursion, they left with memories of a fun-filled day and strengthened bonds that will carry them through the upcoming football season. The unique blend of football and golf at Tight End University showcased the players’ competitive spirit and camaraderie off the field.
