Bettinardi’s Hawaii-inspired Aloha DASS putter

Published

on

The PGA Tour kicks off its 2015 season this week at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions at the Kapalua Resort in Kapalua, Hawaii, and Bettinardi is celebrating with a limited edition “Aloha DASS” putter that’s inspired by the “Aloha State.”

Enjoy our photos of the putter below, because you’ll likely never see one in person. Only 12 were made.

    I think its a great looking flatstick. I dont understand all the hate in previous comments. Scotty Cameron could take a 5 dollar putter, engrave his name and give it a limited edition headcover and sell it for 5000 dollars. LOL

    Does Bettinardi not know how to soften bumpers? Their designs always look so harsh whichh makes them look cheaper. If I had no awareness of what a Betti means to a handful of people I’d think this kit came from an ABC store on the island.

      If that putter was sitting next to a box of chocolate covered macadamia nuts at the ABC store and both were the same price, I would pick the mac nuts. $1750?! Worth about $17.50. SMH.

        Why is the pineapple on the cover drawn in a completely different style than anything else? Where is the bloody design cohesion? Who has final say in the Bettinardi Fruit Division(BFD)?!?!

    That rainbow design reminds me of the cheap tourist merchandise they sell at the convenience stores here in Hawaii. That putter belongs next to the grass skirts and coconut bras at the ABC store.

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping

Published

on

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.

That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.

On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”

On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”

“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Check out Shipley’s full what’s in the bag and the rest of his wedge stampings here on “Inside the Ropes” from Colonial.
