    I was lucky enough to be given this Leuk The Duck pin while in Australia a number of years ago by a Titleist ambassador. Most Australians know the story but for those that don't tour professional Jarrod Lyle passed away in 2018 from acute myeloid leukemia. He was a big supporter of Titleist and FJ, his trademark were his yellow hats! He was also a strong family man...it reminds me how fragile life is as well as how much Titleist supports these great causes. So if you see pros wearing yellow hats or yellow shirts they may be doing this in respect to Lyle.

    He was a great ambassador for Acushnet.

    Cheers

    I know they are around but in very small quantities...I will be back in Sydney in a few months so I will see what is around...probably there is one on the back of shelf buried somewhere!

    I volunteer every year for the Challenge Robert Allenby golf day and seeing Jarrod every year was a highlight.

    I once watched him have 3 hole in ones on one day with other peoples clubs. He was a great man, with a beautiful family.

    If people are looking for the yellow hat I can reach out to my challenge contacts (wide brim normally available for aus open in qld) or the peak version is available here www.challenge.org.au/.../
