Jelly Belly Candy Company a Friend to Golf
Jelly Belly is the world's #1 gourmet jelly bean, the bean of choice for all those with the most discerning taste, and made in 50 amazing and tasty flavors. Jelly Belly was also the first jelly bean in outer space. Free floating, weightless Jelly Belly beans were sent on the space shuttle Challenger in 1983 as a presidential surprise for the astronauts. Coincidentally it was the same mission that boasted another bit of history — the first American female astronaut, Sally Ride.
This famous Jelly Belly candy maker cooked up a recipe for a new kind of jelly bean — intensely flavored throughout, with natural ingredients in 1976. The first eight Jelly Belly flavors were born…
- Very Cherry
- Lemon
- Cream Soda
- Tangerine
- Green Apple
- Root Beer
- Grape
- Licorice
Today the company still makes Candy Corn and more than 100 mouthwatering candies, including such delights as Jelly Belly® Confections – Gummy Bears, Chocolate, and Sour Candies for all the major seasons.
Jelly Belly Candy Company didn't stop at sending their famous products into outer space either. Today their popularity has allowed the company to participate in sponsoring multiple athletes within motor sports, team sports, cycling, rodeos and Golf. One particular LPGA Golfer we salute is Carin Koch, a tour professional since 1995 with 10 top 10 finishes so far to her credit.
Another golfer from the PGA, is Dennis Walters. A former aspiring PGA contestant, Dennis was in a golf cart accident in July of 1974; he was diagnosed as a T-12-level paraplegic and told that he would never walk again from that accident.
After five months of rehabilitation, Dennis went home immediately searching for ways to make playing golf practical. Working with his father and a couple of friends, Dennis fashioned a seat that would swing away 90 degrees from a golf cart. Thanks to his design, Dennis can now get around the golf course and swing a club about as well as the next guy.
He continued practicing his game, and before long, pros were asking him to conduct clinics at their local clubs. Those clinics evolved into "The Dennis Walters Golf Show". For more than 22 years, Dennis has entertained audiences across the U.S. and Canada with his unique blend of fun, instructional tips, trick shots and "can-do" philosophy.
Dennis averages 90-100 shows each year. He's done over 2,500 shows in his illustrious career, and has been the opening act for Tiger Woods at 30 of his Tiger Woods Foundation Clinics. Dennis was awarded an honorary lifetime membership in the PGA. Only the fifth person (of eight total) to receive this honor, Dennis joins such greats as former Presidents Gerald Ford and George H.W. Bush, Gary Player, Bob Hope and PGA legal counsel Lloyd Lambert. We salute you Dennis for all your hard work and the entertainment you provide. Special thanks to Jelly Belly for their support of Dennis Walters and others that with out their direct support, the world would miss some of these great talents.
