Did You Know That “Stimpmeter” is a Registered Trademark? Who Do You Think Owns It?

I would never have guessed that the word “Stimpmeter” is a registered trademark. The Stimpmeter registration describes the goods associated with the mark as an “apparatus for measuring the relative speed of a golf putting green.”

So, who owns the trademark? Perhaps a long-time putter manufacturer such as PING (Karsten)… maybe a ball manufacturer such as Titleist…  

And the owner is… the USGA! Who would have guessed?
