Michael Guerrette shared thisHats off to the team at Fujikura. I tested the Axiom 125 S shaft against several competitors last week at Club Champion, and it clearly stood out as the best performer. The transition through impact—from roughly 3 o’clock to 9 o’clock—felt noticeably smoother and delivered more energy than the other shafts I tried. As you know, replicating the feel of steel in graphite is no easy task. Graphite shafts typically require thicker walls to match steel’s weight, which can make them feel boardy or less responsive. The Axiom, however, manages to deliver that same lively “kick” you expect from steel—if not better. On top of that, graphite allows for precise torque control, something steel simply can’t match, and torque plays a huge role in overall feel. Kudos to Dave Schnider and the entire team—this one is truly a home run.

Caught this bright yellow traveler at Sequoia National Park during a recent California tour. Safe to say it felt right at home among the giants. While the trees are famous for standing tall for thousands of years, our SEQUOIA hydrant is built with the same mindset—strength, durability, and long-term performance in the toughest environments. From city streets to national parks, dependable flow control never takes a vacation. Where should the Sequoia hydrant travel next? #FlowControlFriday #Sequoia #BuiltToLast #AmericanFlowControl #WetBarrel 📷 Phillip Perry, MBA

Michael Guerrette shared thisJust wanted to tip my hat to the Clothing Product Managers at FootJoy, I think you've done an excellent job over the past few years in upgrading your product line. The form, fit and functionality of the clothing is excellent, my wife and I have switched exclusively to your product line. I wore Adidas and Under Armour for years, but going all FJ moving forward! Great Work!

Michael Guerrette reposted thisMichael Guerrette reposted thisICYMI ... this 🎥 is from 15 years ago 😉 and it's from one of my favorite career moments. We were in the process of telling a different story about Adams Golf through our TV spots & other content at the time. Prior, most of the Adams brand was shown with product animations, loads of features & benefits, & technology (a lot of what you still see in golf equipment ads today) But, we had a better story to tell about this little engine that could. Spending so much of my time around our equipment techs on Tour, I couldn't help but be impressed by the amount of work & hustle they did everyday for the pros. They didn't have the luxury of a big team, a glamorous 18-wheel equipment rig like the other companies, or even the best tools for the job. But they did have grit and desire - and all that went down in our little Tour Trailer week in and week out helped change the trajectory of the Adams brand back then. That story had to be told - and I think we nailed it in this TV spot. It was then that I started to fall in love with video storytelling and seeing the clear results of how it can help shape a brand. That was 15 years ago, we all know how powerful and important video content is today. You have a story to tell and it can be done - I'd be happy to explore the possibilities with you, and introduce you to the Neighborhood of creative talent at toldright 💬

God bless you, Randall.
My father was a lineman for 45 years with IBEW Local 42 in Connecticut, so I have a deep appreciation for the dedication and sacrifice this profession demands. Thank you for your many years of service to the communities that depend on people like you, often without realizing the challenges you face.
Whether responding to ice storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, or countless other emergencies, linemen are among the first to answer the call, working long hours in difficult and dangerous conditions to restore power and help communities recover.
On behalf of those of us who benefit from your commitment every day, thank you. Wishing you the very best of health, happiness, and fulfillment in your well-deserved retirement.

It was a fitting end to a 44-year career spent helping maintain the energy network. For decades, Randall was part of a larger team that worked behind the scenes to keep communities powered through everyday operations, major storms, and unexpected outages. We congratulate Randall on his retirement, and thank him for 44 years of service to our customers and communities. We're also grateful for the commitment of lineworkers like Randall across our company who show up every day to help deliver the reliable service our customers count on. ⚡💙A final sign off after 44 years of keeping the lights onA final sign off after 44 years of keeping the lights on

Michael Guerrette liked thisMichael Guerrette liked thisField issues often create the best training opportunities. In Santa Clarita, California, what started as a contractor misstep that damaged a nozzle turned into a productive day in the field. Jeremy Noble led a hands-on session covering AMERICAN's nozzle retention system and demonstrated how quickly a nozzle can be replaced. The team also installed a new Sequoia® Check Valve, turning an unexpected repair into a valuable learning opportunity. #FlowControlFriday #AmericanFlowControl #SequoiaCheckValve #WaterInfrastructure #FieldTraining #SantaClarita #TrainingInAction
