Thanks for the post. That was another follow the bouncing-golf-company ordeal for me. TearDrop Golf was actually publicly traded at one point under the symbol TDRP. The relevant history... 11/1997: TearDrop acquired Tommy Armour for $10 million cash, $10 million in preferred stock and 1 million shares of TDRP common stock 12/1997: TearDrop acquired Ram for $2.7 million cash and 83,000 shares of TDRP stock. I believe the Zebra brand putter was developed by Ram. 12/2000: TearDrop files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. 3/2001: TearDrop sells all of its assets to Gen-X Sports for $18 million 6/2002: Huffy buys Gen-X Sports for $19 million cash and 5 million shares of Huffy stock. 11/2005: Huffy files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Then finally... 9/2007: Hilco Trading Company buys the golf unit from Huffy for an undisclosed amount.
