PowerBilt Golf Brand Disappears from Market

Image
(Note: See update at bottom.) Golf brands change owners with regularity. Golf brands come and go. And it appears that one of the oldest golf brands in the United States - PowerBilt - is, for now anyway, dead and gone from the market. That doesn't mean we'll never hear from PowerBilt again. The "PowerBilt" brand is a licensee of Hillerich & Bradsby, and H&B might want to revive the brand some day. Or sell it to another owner that will. But for now, PowerBilt's most-recent line of golf clubs has been taken out on its own, as a wholly owned entity doing business under the brand name Air Force One. "Air Force One" was the name of a line of golf clubs, drivers in particular, that made up the last few years of product from PowerBilt. The Air Force One driver has a "nitrogen-injected" clubhead.

Big Break Nikki's New Girlfriend Is Surfing Hall of Famer Keala Kennelly

Remember Nikki DiSanto? The beautiful cast member of two different seasons of the Golf Channel's Big Break series - Big Break V and Big Break VII - has been (or is still) a golf pro, an athletic trainer, a model and actress. You might remember that in one of those seasons there either was a flirtation between Nikki and fellow cast mate (and future PGA Tour caddie) Edoardo Gardino, or at least that Golf Channel tried to make it look that way. But if you followed Nikki on social media over the years, as we have, you would probably have realized that she is bi or gay. We occassionally write about couples around here - which golfer has a new girlfriend or boyfriend. But we don't believe in outing anybody who isn't already out (not that Nikki wasn't, we just weren't sure). But when photos (and captions) like this are being posted and shared by you and your squeeze, well, you are out ! #NikkiKK #LivingTheVidaAloha #PipeMasters #Oahu #Hawaii #SexyGayCouple
