Greg Norman signs with MacGregor

It's nice to see a golfer with some loyalty. Although Greg Norman isn't playing that much golf anymore he has continued his relationship of over 20 years with MacGregor.

Norman said the deal is proof he will continue to play after he turns 50 on February 10th. Greg said he expects to play around 12 tournaments next year, including the British Open and the British Senior Open. Greg will not be a regular on the Champions Tour, which both he and No Three Putts, still call the Senior Tour.

I respect Greg Norman's decision to continue playing with MacGregor clubs. He easily could have found another manufacturer to give him more money. Obviously Greg has class and plenty of money. Hey, Mickelson, perhaps you should take a lesson.

Just wanted to let you know that I was adding a link to your site (which I thoroughly enjoyed when I found it today) oh my blog. If you mind, please let me know and I'll remove it. Thanks.

I'm confused. I thought Greg Norman was with Titleist?

Yeah, Greg Norman used to be a titleist pro, he signed a contract with acushnet in Jan. of 2000 which made his company the exclusive distributor of acushnet products in Australia. Before that he signed with Cobra. Don't know what effect his signing with MacGregor will have on the availability of Titleist in Australia.
