Longtime PGA TOUR Star to Share Expertise, Enhance Company?s Products and Services
(CHANDLER, Ariz.) – ProLink Solutions – a wholly-owned subsidiary of ProLink Holdings Corp. (OTC BB: PLKH.OB) and the world’s leading provider of Global Positioning Satellite ("GPS") golf course management systems and digital out-of-home on-course advertising – announced today that longtime PGA TOUR standout Brad Faxon is the first member of its new Strategic Advisory Board.
Faxon, a 25-year TOUR veteran with eight career victories, will use his playing experience, knowledge of golf, and extensive network of associates and contacts to help ProLink enhance its products and services while expanding its base of installed courses. A former member of the PGA TOUR Policy Board, the Payne Stewart award winner in 2005 and an active participant in charity organizations, Faxon is one of the golf community’s most respected figures.
Once finalized, ProLink’s Advisory Board will have up to six members from a variety of professional backgrounds. The board will meet regularly and provide the company expert advice on a range of topics to bolster ProLink’s industry-leading technology, golfer-friendly platform, customer support and internal operations. The Advisory Board will operate independently from ProLink’s seven-member Board of Directors.
“It’s my pleasure to join ProLink Solutions and its Strategic Advisory Board, and I look forward to helping the company further develop its products to improve the golf experience and aid course operators,” Faxon says. “GPS systems have become an integral part of the game, especially since they’ve been legalized for tournament play. By making the game more enjoyable for players and more profitable for course owners, ProLink benefits everyone involved in golf.”
Adds Lawrence D. Bain, CEO of ProLink Solutions: “We’re thrilled to welcome Brad to our Advisory Board. Brad is well-known throughout golf for his accomplishments on and off the course. He’ll bring a unique professional insight to ProLink and our management. We anticipate Brad offering a wealth of knowledge and great ideas to further strengthen ProLink’s status as the GPS category leader.”
Faxon boasts a long list of achievements over the past 25 years. He turned professional in 1983 after a successful career at Furman University. Faxon’s first official PGA TOUR win came in the 1991 Buick Open, and he ranked among the world’s top 20 players throughout much of the decade. Faxon represented the United States in the Ryder Cup in 1995 and 1997 and led the TOUR in putting average in 1996, 1999 and 2000. Faxon, whose most recent victory came at the 2005 Buick Championship, counts more than $17.6 million in career earnings.
Faxon is also one of the game’s most generous figures. In 1991, Faxon and fellow TOUR pro Billy Andrade formed Billy Andrade/Brad Faxon Charities for Children, Inc., a non-profit organization that has raised more than $7.5 million for needy children in Rhode Island and southern Massachusetts. For their charity work, Faxon and Andrade were awarded the 1999 Golf Writers Association of America’s Charlie Bartlett Award, given to professional golfers for unselfish contributions to society.
Faxon lives in Barrington, R.I., with his wife, Dory, and four daughters.
