AUSTIN, Texas. — The Golf Foundation of Texas has selected Meng & Associates Inc. of Georgetown, Texas, for public relations support in building awareness for the organization and its upcoming 2007 Golf Expo. Driving education from the tee box, the Golf Foundation of Texas awards financial scholarships to high school seniors who are planning to attend Texas-accredited institutions.
"Meng & Associates has a strong track record in the golf and outdoor industries, and we’re confident that their service and expertise will give us a good opportunity to introduce the GFT to golfers and golf-based businesses throughout the industry," says Nick Spiropoulos, executive director of the Golf Foundation of Texas.

As a part of that service, Meng also offers the ClubmakingWIRE.com, the industry’s only on-line news service solely dedicated to golf equipment and custom fitting.
One of the main events in 2007 for the GFT to fund scholarships for young Texans will be the new Golf Expo which has already been described as the premier event for the golfing lifestyle in Central Texas.
