Fire At The Flag Announces Three New Winners
Vancouver, CANADA: September 6, 2007 GPS Industries, Inc. (GPSI) (OTC BB: GPSN.OB), the world’s leading provider of WiFi-enabled golf management systems and targeted on-course media, is pleased to announce the names of three scholarship recipients as part of the Company’s Fire At The Flag? hole-in-one program.
Fire At The Flag? is the world’s richest hole-in-one program offering amateur golfers a shot at a Grand Prize Jackpot of 10-Million Dollars. The turn-key program, which is quickly being adopted globally by courses looking to increase the excitement of daily fee play and distinguish their golf experience, provides a $1,000 scholarship award to each Junior player scoring a hole-in-on in tournament competition.
At the end of the season the names of all Junior players who have won a scholarship will be entered in a special draw and one lucky recipient will win a trip for two to Naples, Florida in December to meet legendary golfer Greg Norman during the week of the Merrill-Lynch Shootout in December. Together with Greg, the young golfer will take a shot at the Grand Prize of $10,000,000.
"We are very excited about the positive feedback we’ve been getting from the Junior players, the professionals and the courses," said Robert Silzer, Jr., Director of Fire At The Flag for GPS Industries.
The first Junior Tour hole-in-one scholarship winners include 15-year-old Will Shenstone, 14 year old Myles Sullivan, and 16-year-old Edward (Teddy) Markham.
"Everyone knows how tough it is to get a hole-in-one, and how tough it is to save up for a post-secondary education, so this sponsorship by GPS Industries is just great." said Murray Poje, Executive Director of the Maple Leaf Junior Tour. "This generous educational assistance from the Fire At The Flag program will certainly go a long way to helping these junior golfers achieve their long-term goals."
"World-wide, there are already more than 100 courses utilizing our turnkey Fire At The Flag? program." Silzer concluded. "The program very quickly generates bottom-line revenues for golf course operators and demonstrates our commitment to building their business."
