Contest Time, Everyone Sign Up

St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner which means it's time for green beer, green grass and, hopefully, more greens in regulation.  It's been a long winter for those of us who aren't lucky enough to live in year-round golf climates, so St. Patrick's Day is a yearly reminder that golf season that it's time to get the clubs out of the closet, knock the dust off the headcovers and the rust off the swing.  And if that rust seems to be a little bit more stubborn this year you might just need just need a shot of Irish luck - after all, as the saying goes, it's better to be lucky than good!  Lucky for you, FOURTEEN STIX and our friends at RJB Collector and Bettinardi LTD just so happen to have a few lucky charms that could cure your winter golf woes.  Starting at 12:00 a.m. Central Time (CT) on Monday, March 15, 2010 you can enter to WIN GREAT PRIZES from RJB Collector and Bettinardi LTD.  So what's up for grabs?

ABOUT RJB COLLECTOR AND BETTINARDI LTD
So, who are these guys you ask?  Well, you might remember RJB Collector from our 2010 PGA Show recap post.  They, along with Bettinardi LTD are the only two authorized distributors of Tour, prototype and limited edition Bettinardi putters, collectibles, and accessories - ANYWHERE!  Their mission is to build you a custom, one of a kind piece of putting artwork that will not only incite jealousy among your friends because of how it looks but also because of how it performs.  See, to them looking good is only half of the equation.  The putter has to fit you perfectly - both in style and in function.  That's why they'll run you through thousands of possible set up and aesthetic combinations from loft, lie angle, putter shape, head weight, hosel type, stampings, finish color, paint scheme and grip type (just to mention a few) before building your flatstick.  If you think you have OCD when it comes to your equipment, just wait until you go through their fitting process. They will not rest until your are completely satisfied with you putter.  Other putter companies claim to offer customized putters, but is stamping your initials and slapping a new paintfill on something you bough off the rack really unique?  If you said yes then you probably drive a Honda Accord, wear Dockers and list Olive Garden among your favorite restaurants.  RJB Collector and Bettinardi LTD offer you truly one of a kind creations.  Consider them your concierge in the putter creation process.  You want it done, they'll find a way to make it happen.  If your interested in owning one of your own but need a little inspiration for your design check out some of their unbelievable custom creations here  and here.

Not only do these guys offer fantastic putters, but they're also your hookup for custom belt buckles, exotic leather goods, divot tools and limited edition headcovers (like the one we're giving away...).  These accessories are the perfect compliment to your newly created custom putter or just a great way to stand out from the rest of your foursome.  But let's talk a little bit about the star of this Sweepstakes. 

The St. Patrick's Day 2010 putter cover sold out on both websites in less than 24 hours, but two Grand Prize Winners with the luck of the Irish will get their hands on the limited edition cover.  Here's what's cool about this Bettinardi designed headcover, well, besides being our favorite color.  It features a giant embroidered Hex B on top surrounded by gold Hex B coins, which are said to bring generous amounts of luck to any putter it sits upon.  It also has a patented, non-Velcro enclosure which is cool for a couple of reasons: One, the covers don't need to be replaced due to Velcro wearing out and, two, the neoprene enclosure system eliminates potentially noisy distractions that opening a Velcro cover causes.  You can learn more about the evolution of the headcover here.  It's a pretty cool story and has some great pics of other limited edition Bettinardi cover creations. 

Take a look at some of our favorite RJB Collector / Bettinardi LTD creations below and don't forget to enter the Sweepstakes before midnight on St. Paddy's Day!
