Bobby Grace Loses His Name
One of the most famous putter designers in the United States has just put in for his immediate resignation. Bobby Grace a renowned and respected putter designer has been with the MacGregor Golf company since 2003, but today will be his last day. Which is odd seeing that after the split he will not even own the rights to his own name anymore. Crazy huh? That’s because MacGregor Golf retains ownership of all trademarks and other rights associated with Bobby Grace Putters and even the name Bobby Grace after the break-up.
MacGregor Keeping Lips Sealed
The man is either going to have to change his name or come up with an alias like “Gracy”. When you give up rights to your own name you know something must be up. But their PR department and the high ups at MacGregor are keeping their lips sealed so far.

From the press release.
“MacGregor will continue to further expand its putter line featuring the category leading DCT technology and feature it in an expanded marketing initiative starting in the Fall of 2008. ” As a lover of traditional companies with historically good products. The deceptive and greedy Greg Norman killed MacGregor Golf in America. This last line laughingly approved by the “share holders” only proves my point! They already knew they were going to sell the company and continued to put out questionable statements so as not to drive done the company value before the Sale. Just another great American company gone to shreads over GREEDY executives!
