SUGAR LAND, TX (March 12, 2007) — PG Professional Golf, formerly Professional Golf Ball Services, Ltd. (PGSI), the world’s largest recycled golf ball company and leading green grass supplier, announced a two-year partnership agreement with The First Tee.
As a partner, PG Professional Golf becomes a preferred supplier of The First Tee. An industry leader for over 14 years, PG Professional Golf will supply Chapters of The First Tee with a full line of new range balls and green grass products that provide superior quality at a tremendous value.
"We are very excited about being able to create revenue streams for The First Tee," said Michael Hutchins, PG Professional Golf sales manager. "We all have heroes in golf. However, it is the person who put the club in our hands and taught us the principles and values that come with the great game of golf that has made the difference in our lives. The First Tee exemplifies the lessons of life through golf and we are ecstatic to partner with an organization that makes a difference for so many."
PG Professional Golf will assist Chapters with fund-raising by asking customers to donate a portion of their retrieval credit to their local Chapter.
