Bettinardi x Hasbro launch all-new Transformers collection
Bettinardi has today introduced its second collaboration with Hasbro with an all-new Transformers collection.
The epic collaboration aims to combine Bettinardi’s detailed eye for design in golf with the iconic heroes and villains of the original 1980s franchise.
The assortment will feature a wide range of products that will launch online over the course of two days, including putters, headcovers, apparel, and other premium accessories.
Speaking on the release, Sam Bettinardi stated:
“The entire process of this collaboration with Hasbro and Transformers has been a complete walk down memory lane, from the research and design stages to creating the marketing surrounding this partnership, every step has been so nostalgic,” said Sam Bettinardi, President of Bettinardi Golf. “The design emphasizes the original eighties cartoons as we knew we could showcase these exceptional colorways and iconic characters in such a fun reminiscent way.”
This limited-edition collaboration will be launched across two days, with the Decepticons release unveiling on Wednesday, June 7 at 10 a.m. CDT, and the Autobots release unveiling on Thursday, June 8 at 10 a.m. CDT.
Each launch day will present new items available for purchase in the Hive at www.bettinardi.com. This release will also include a small assortment of production items available in Bettinardi’s Studio Store on Wednesday, June 7 at 10 a.m. CDT.
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.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.
