“When you study the history of Bobby Jones, one of the many things that comes to light is Mr. Jones’ passion for the science and art of club making,” said Andy Bell, President/CEO of Jones Global Sports.  “We’ve known since taking over the leadership of the Bobby Jones brand this was an area where we wanted to expand our footprint strategically. This expansion begins with putters and we’re thrilled to partner with Dave Billings and Dogleg Right. They are putter experts and their commitment to custom design, performance, playability and world class service is readily apparent.  We are proud that the first putters bearing Bobby Jones name in 25 years will be produced in partnership with the best in the business.”
