KISS guitarist Tommy Thayer was on hand last week to support his friend, PGA Champion golfer — and native Memphian — Shaun Micheel at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic in Palm Desert, California. They had a few photo-ops with fans and the BHCC girls.
Shaun officially unveiled the KISS logo on his new tour bag. Shaun told kissonline.com, “The KISS logo represents my deep appreciation for the band and the music that they have made over the years. I’ve been a fan for as long as I can remember and I wanted to be able to add something very special to my golf bag. I’m very fortunate to be able to call them friends and I look forward to seeing them out on the road in the near future.”
Shaun then added, “I’ve been asked by many players and fans about the logo. Most people know me as an avid KISS fan and the reactions have all been great. I’ve been amazed at how many fans are out there and interested in what the band is up to and whether or not they are going to be touring again. Of course everyone wants backstage passes, but I guess that’s the price you have to pay when you are representing a Hall of Fame band.”
