Bridgestone Golf
As you all know, the Bridgestone Golf Team has been participating in #GolfChat for the past few months. I sent them a few copies of my book, The Social Golf Course and in return they asked me to take their golf ball fitting (http://www.bridgestonegolf.com/product/ball-fitting).
After finishing the Bridgestone Golf Ball fitting, they sent me this nice care package in time for the Holidays including my fitted golf ball and a couple of Bridgestone Golf Hats (gave one to my Dad, who told me who only plays Bridgestones).
Thank you to the Bridgestone Golf Team and we’re looking for more opportunities to work together in 2016 for our fellow #GolfChatters.
