Putter for Michael Jordan

Filed under: Just for Fun, Putting, Ryder Cup — admin @ 2:54 pm

When the Ryder Cup was held here in Louisville in 2008, Michael Jordan was a mainstay on the steps overlooking No. 13 green at Valhalla Golf Club. The pilots of his Gulfstream paid our plant a visit when in town for the matches and decided to give their employer a gift. This past Christmas we made a special putter for No. 23; below are pictures of the putter and putter stand we made and images the pilots sent us of his plane. Like when he played for the Bulls, Jordan flies with style.

This came to me this week, and I thought it was very cool. As marketing director I got a sneak peak of what Yellow Cab is doing locally here for the Ryder Cup. They plan on turning a few of their cabs Red, White and Blue. Check it out:
