It’s good to be champs.
Even though they won the World Series championship over seven months ago, the Chicago Cubs are still reaping all the benefits. Before Wednesday’s game against the Miami Marlins, the team received these absolutely SICK customized putters from a local golf shop.
Bettinardi Golf, which is based in Tinley Park, IL, created these beautiful custom-fitted putters for members of the team, coaches, and front office staff. Bob Bettinardi has created a tradition of gifting customized putters to Chicago teams who win championships (Blackhawks 2010 and White Sox 2005) and the Cubs are the latest recipients of these bad ass putters.
Per E. Michael Johnson of Golfdigest.com,
“The putters are a limited-edition DASS model with the Chicago Cubs logo and 2016 World Series Champions stamped on the sole. The back cavity has a simple blue W and the rear bumpers have 1908 and 2016 in red paintfill. The headover is a striking replica of the Cubs’ home white pinstriped uniforms, complete with Cubs logo in blue and red.”
Many of the Cubs play golf in the off-season and from what I’ve read, it would come down to Kyle Hendricks or Kris Bryant being the best golfer on the team but let’s face it folks — if the Cubs don’t start playing better baseball, they’ll be getting to use this putter a lot sooner than they’d hoped.
