Bettinardi History: His objective clear, Robert Bettinardi set out in 1991 and began crafting some of the world’s finest putters. Already a master engineer milling parts for the defense and medical industries, his talents were sharp and appropriate to make the move into the world of golf. After creating some of his own prototypes, Bettinardi was soon designing and producing putters alongside some of the industry’s best and was in demand by golf’s top OEM’s. Over the next seven years Bettinardi would hone his skills and become recognized as the premier engineer of One-Piece milled putters. He was prepared and eager to put his own name on the putters he created and in 1998 Bettinardi Golf was born. Some of the original prototypes from that era are among the most sought-after by collectors today. His first milestone came in 1999 when Jesper Parnevik shot 23 under par for a tournament record 265 at the Greater Greensboro Open using a Bettinardi BB-10. A few years later with major tournament wins by Jim Furyk and Vijay Singh would seal the deal: Bettinardi was the name in milled putters. Born in Chicago, Robert Bettinardi carries on a family tradition of quality metal craft. His father, a master miller as well, gave Robert his early exposure to the field of engineering. From the age of 12 on, his summers were spent working in his father’s machining facility learning the craft from the ground up. He would go on to receive his degree from the Milwaukee School of Engineering and would later open his own engineering and milling facility, X-Cel Technologies in Tinley Park, IL, producing parts for the defense and medical industries. An avid golfer even as a young man, Bettinardi combined his passions and began crafting One-Piece Technology putters in the early 90′s, and founded Bettinardi Golf in 1998. Through his dedication to precision and innovation, the Bettinardi name has become synonymous with quality in the world of golf. Shipping price includes U.S. Shipments only.
