Custom Bettinardi putters at the 2014 MLB All-Star Game
Batter up, Bettinardi!
Bettinardi Golf teamed up with Excel Sports Management to customize putters for seven different baseball players who have been named as 2014 MLB All-Stars.
The lucky gift-getters include Alex Gordon (Kansas City Royals), Clayton Kershaw (L.A. Dodgers), Zack Greinke (L.A. Dodgers), Freddie Freeman (Atlanta Braves), Dellin Betances (New York Yankees), Masahiro Tanaka (New York Yankees) and of course, Derek Jeter (you know what team). After announcing he’s retiring at the end of the season, Jeter is being presented farewell gifts from every baseball team in the league, so it’s fitting that he gets an awesome personalized Bettinardi putter too.
A custom Bettinardi putter and head cover made for 2014 All-Star Derek Jeter.
The putters are made from Double-Aged Stainless Steel (D.A.S.S.) with what the company calls a “golden flame” finish.
“Being a huge fan of baseball my whole life, I was pleased to team up with Excel Sports to make the highest end putters for some of the top baseball players in the world,” said Bob Bettinardi, President/CEO of Bettinardi Golf. “It displays our unique ability to not only produce putters for the PGA Tour, but also being able to expand and create these one-of-a-kind coveted gifts for All-Star players.”
Each All-Star received a putter with his name etched into the back pocket of the putter.
And his jersey number on the face.
And a customized headcover.
The 2014 MLB All-Star game will be played tonight, July 15, at Target Field, home of the Minnesota Twins.
This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.
Joel Thelen
Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.
First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.
Mitchell Meissner
Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
Bud Cauley had >14 clubs in his bag when photographed prior to the Memorial Tournament.

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”

In addition, there is a world-famous Bronx Zoo,
the American Museum of Natural History, the New York Botanical Garden, along with the breath-taking New York Aquarium.
However, an experienced may have solutions for helping the
room that you will have never considered. This is the option we may recommend since the containers included in the kits are
created for Bokashi fermentation specifically and therefore are just sufficiently small
to tuck away right into a convenient place such like a pantry or
underneath the sink.

When a player lands here they have to pick up a Doo-Dad
card and pay whatever it tells them to. Cleaning
– The outside of the garage door needs to be cleaned at least four
times a year. You can also use Twitter to search by
keyword as well as a amount of other functions that may help you hone in on who your target audience is.

You need to find out about stop loss orders
before you start investing your hard earned money inside the stock market.
However, because of the variables that have the potential
to acquire in the way of building a healthy portfolio, you have to wonder whether it’s
even possible. People who are not goal setting techniques tend
to ‘t be as successful – they stay stuck , nor achieve their
dreams.
