A few days ago I mentioned that an item
arrived which got a reaction from me I’ve never experienced before. I
had goose bumps. That item was a hand drawn commemorative scoreboard
from my new pal Casey Jones at Casey Jones Golf.
Casey Jones scoreboard
A while back I sent in the details for my personal proudest moment
in golf to Casey. That moment was my club championship in 2005. The
club champ was a year long match play competition, single elimination.
Lose one match and you are done for the year. Talk about pressure.
Casey took my data and created a beautiful commemorative scoreboard
by hand. The scoreboard shows my hole by hole score, the status of the
match and some other great info. That round of 70 under pressure is
without a doubt my best round of golf, though I’ve shot lower scores.
The scoreboard is framed up in a great looking frame.
This is one I’m happy to see up on my
wall. I liked my scoreboard so much, it even bumped my favorite image
of Bobby Jones to a different location. If something bumps Bobby Jones,
that is a big deal.
A club championship is just one example of a possible candidate for
a Casey Jones creation. Many other events would be great for having
Casey work his magic:
• Hole in one round
• Lowest round
• First time you break 100, 90, 80, 70…
• A round at a famous course, like St. Andrews or Pebble Beach
Famous clients
I have several things in common with Padraig Harringon. We both have
great golf swings (Padraig’s is perhaps slightly better than mine),
we’re both damn handsome (I may have the advantage on that one), and
we’ve both had Casey create commemorative scoreboards for us. Casey
made a scoreboard for Padraig’s four winning rounds at the 2008 British
Open Championship (image right). …and what a win that was.
Other famous clients for Casey include Adam Scott, Stewart Cink and Charles Howell III.
Conclusion
Casey has some serious talent. Casey has a gift. Man, even the
address on the shipping label, written by Casey, is super cool looking.
I’ve received hundreds of golf products to evaluate over the last
four years I’ve been golf blogging, and this may be THE coolest one
yet. You can get a trophy at any old trophy shop, but you can only get
something this cool from one guy, Casey Jones.
