Pinfire Golf, of Anaheim, California was selected this week as the "Official Putter" of the CEO Golf Challenge World Championship to be played at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort in Naples, Florida on October 12 – 15th, 2006.

"We’re very excited that we have entered into an agreement with Pinfire Golf. Having Pinfire on board definitely adds value to our program said Joanne Noble, President of the CEO Golf Challenge. Noble continued by saying that "putting is arguably the most important part of the game. Pinfire Golf has proven that they are an industry leader when it comes to putters. I’m certain we’ll see the CEO’s take strokes off their game by making those key putts." Barry Burke, newly appointed CEO of Pinfire said; "This is a great opportunity to be associated with a high visibility event, and we are proud of the selection by the CEO Golf Challenge. It goes to our company’s commitment to performance and design which has led to our success on Tour."
