Jimmy Rourke
A work of art. Elite. Crazy cool. Game changer. These are all phrases Jim Rourke set out to define his vision: A golf tool that inspires a “wow” literally every time someone sees it or hears you use it. Jim Rourke, President of Stiletto Golf, began this journey more than ten years ago. Finally, late last year, he succeeded with an heirloom-quality Stiletto-switchblade action ball mark repair tool that looks and feels like nothing else.
Jim Rourke spent a great deal of his adult life in the Air Force as a ROMAD – a Special Ops operative functioning as a Liaison to the Army. He coordinated and controlled close-air support and was part of the Rapid Deployment Force on call for any problems throughout the world. After retirement, he caught the inventor/ entrepreneurial bug. Jim comments, “One day I was watching a movie with my son, and the bad guy about to start a gang fight fires a switchblade knife with that intimidating distinctive sound, and I just couldn’t get this idea out of my head. I thought if I could actually make this work in a golf repair tool, it would be a product that could bring a paradigm shift to a very standard golf product.” In 2008 Mr. Rourke patented the action in the Stiletto Green Tool and started a company in December 2008.
