3d Ball of Fame NLJM 2001 Erik Tiekstra... Who doesn't have it and who doesn't play with it. :D :P. I actually still get questions from people if that ball is still available or completely sold out. I keep telling people that it was sold out just 2 months after the ball was finished. And boy, What glad I was when I first saw it and how proud that I, just a small minigolf player, was to have my own ball...
Almost 8 years later, time flies, and thousands of balls further the pride to have a ball with your name on it is gone, as it looks like almost all people have one now. I have had a period I didn't want anything to do with new balls because it is almost impossible to make a different ball each time then one that is already at the market. I bought maybe 10 balls in those 4 years. Also I thought it would be the one and only time a ball with my name would come on the market (except the Minigolfpics balls)...
BUT, last year I was thinking a bit about how nice it would be for Tantogården to have a series of balls coming out with the club's name and a name of a player in the club. Would be nice to build this to a successful series until the World Championships 2011 in Stockholm.
So I talked it over with Janne, and made some designs what the balls would look like and talked it over again.
Now, a few months after that, I can tell you that it won't be long before this series will get to the market with the first ball.... Of course these ball will be made by Reisinger (sponsor of Tantogårdens BGK). A ball with my name on it, I must say, I am pretty proud of that again because I think this is something special. I am really looking forward to see how the ball looks like in real life.
I have no exact date yet when the ball would be available, but I am hoping at the beginning of march. Of course I will let you know the exact date and the data of the ball when it comes out, pre-order can be done by sending me an e-mail.
TANTO-TIME!
