MILAN, Mich. (AP) — Kid Rock is lending a hand to a high school girls' golf team.
Six sets of golf clubs were stolen from coach Claire Neff's vehicle on Monday evening in Ypsilanti. Following reports of the theft, Neff said she got a call Wednesday from the country-rap-rock star offering to help.
"I was just stunned," Neff said.
Rock, a native of Romeo whose real name is Robert Ritchie, said he would get new custom golf clubs to replace those belonging to Neff and five players from Milan High School, about 35 miles southwest of Detroit.
Rock talked to pro golfer John Daly, who suggested calling TaylorMade Golf, the Detroit Free Press and The Ann Arbor News reported Thursday. TaylorMade agreed to send the clubs by the end of the week.
Neff said Rock told her to give TaylorMade and Daly all the credit.
Besides the gift from Rock, Neff said she's received about 40 calls from people offering donations.
