FootJoy proudly announces the selection of Jim Buelow as its 2011 Sales Representative of the Year, his third time receiving the honor. The official presentation to recognize Buelow for this distinguished award took place recently at the FootJoy National Sales Meeting in Orlando.

Jim has been a valuable contributor to the FootJoy brand for 29 years. Following his graduation from Depauw University, Jim began his illustrious career in sales in the San Francisco Bay area. He quickly caught the attention of a sporting goods company where he remained for seven years, obtaining a regional sales management position in the golf division. From there, Jim joined the FootJoy team as the sales representative in the Detroit area.

Jim's tenure in the Eastern Michigan/Detroit region has been successful from the very beginning. He has been recognized with eight FootJoy Gold Circle Awards in addition to his three Sales Representative of the Year honors.

“Jim Buelow is the consummate Sales Professional and a leader among his peers in the FootJoy sales organization,” commented Jim Morrison, Vice President, FootJoy U.S. Sales.  “In addition to driving sales growth, Jim commits himself to the highest level of service and support to our valued customers.  Throughout his career, Jim has mentored several fine Sales Representatives within FootJoy, including some that flourished to earn this same, distinguished honor.  A man of great humility, Jim takes most pride in his relationship with the brand, and, in particular, the success of his fellow associates.”

Jim and his wife of 35 years, Carol, currently reside in Oakland, MI. They are the proud parents of Jim, Jeff and Audrey and also grandparents to Jake, Adam, Addie and Max.
