When you see Aaron Rai on the PGA Tour, it’s hard to miss his distinctive iron covers. These aren’t just any golf accessories; they carry a deeply personal story rooted in his childhood.
Growing up in a working-class family, Rai’s father made significant sacrifices to support his budding golf career, even spending upwards of £1,000 on a set of Titleist 690 MBs when Rai was just eight years old.
Rai’s father meticulously maintained those clubs, cleaning every groove with a pin and baby oil. This act of care instilled in Rai a lifelong appreciation for his equipment.
