IAN HAPP

#8 Chicago Cubs CF

Center Fielder for the Chicago Cubs.

Ian’s love for the game of golf was instilled in him from a young age through his father Keith, a senior agronomist for the USGA and board member of the First Tee of Pittsburgh. Although baseball has always been his true calling, golf is an integral part of Ian’s life. Ian grew up playing golf in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where he developed his life long passion for the game. Ian currently plays to a 2 handicap and has aspirations of testing his game in offseason amateur events.

“I couldn’t be more proud and excited to be a part of such an awesome company. Before joining Bettinardi, I always admired their products. Being a Chicago-based, family run business with global reach is something I truly respect and appreciate. The quality of their product and attention to detail is second to none.”

Jason Hammel

#39 Starting Pitcher - 2016 Chicago Cubs World Series Champion

Jason’s passion for Golf started in High School. Knowing how difficult it was to hit a thrown baseball,, experiencing how much more difficult it was to hit a golf ball(that was sitting on a tee) straight, got him hooked and keeps him grinding to figure it out today. On the field, Jason pitched 1,500 innings, had 1400 strikeouts and won 94 games, 33 with the Chicago Cubs, and helped the team win the 2016 World Series, his biggest highlight covering a 13 year MLB career.  

"When I first discovered Bettinardi just a couple years ago, I was playing to a 7. I had the opportunity to visit Studio B and get fitted for a putter with a few of my teammates. Getting fitted for a putter was something that I had never really respected. Now after my fitting, I’m playing to a 2 and I can honestly tell say it’s my putting that’s gone to the next level."
