Precept’s Girls Golf Donations Get a Major Boost in Toledo
COVINGTON, GA. — As a way of paying tribute to the official mascot of the Jaime Farr Owens Corning Classic – the Pink Panther, the LPGA’s own Pink Panther put into play her Pink Precept Tour SIII golf ball for all four official tournament rounds this past week. Usually reserved for Sunday play only, Creamer opted to rely on the power of pink the entire week. The move paid off, with the 2005 Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year recording 20 birdies for the tournament.
Paula’s weeklong total 20 birdies included a final round 7-birdie barrage that led to a tournament low round of 65. The impressive 4-day performance brought her total number of birdies made with the Pink Precept Tour SIII to 52, in 2006. As a result, through the Owens Corning Classic presented by Kroger, just over $35,000 worth of golf balls have been donated by Precept to LPGA-USGA Girls Golf chapters nationwide this year.
"Paula really surprised us by putting the ball in play for all four rounds," said Dan Murphy, Senior Director of Marketing – Bridgestone/Precept Golf. "Not only did Paula earn a ton of golf balls for junior girls programs throughout the U.S., she also had her best finish of the season. Maybe there is something to the ‘power of pink’."
Paula’s new Precept Pink Tour SIII is available to consumers in a limited edition "Paula Pack" containing 6 balls. The "Paula Pack" features a suggested retail price of $27 and is available now at green grass retailers and golf specialty shops nationwide.
