DENVER, CO – April 28, 2008 – Golf Life, the nation’s leading independent golf lifestyle television series, has kicked off its 2008 series of 12 bi-monthly episodes this April. The national television series presented by Golf Tips Magazine features in depth equipment reviews, high-level instruction and enjoyable travel segments. A schedule of airtimes is available online at www.golflifetv.com (click schedule tab).
The new Golf Life series features editorial content from the leading golf manufacturers including Titleist, Taylormade, Fujikura Shafts, Graphite Design Shafts, Cleveland, Ping, MacGregor and others. In addition, the producers have taken extra lengths to produce very detailed instructional segments with heavy graphic animation support to help viewers understand key concepts for game improvement. Informative travel features top off the show, with segments shot in high definition by the one of the most experienced teams in golf course production.
The series is supported by Fujikura Shafts (www.fujikuragolf.com), the number one wood shaft on the PGA, LPGA and Champions Tours. Additional support comes from Graphite Design (www.gdintl.com), Q-Link Golf (www.qlinkgolf.com), Perfect Connextion (www.perfectconnextion.com), Brush Tee (www.brushtee.com), Spot On Golf (www.spotongolfusa.com) and Golf Logix GPS (www.golflogix.com). Highly produced in-program features and advertising opportunities are available in limited supply with the television and online distribution.
The future is bright, as Golf Life Television is once again the national golf series on Fox Sports Net (FSN) during the 2008 season. As such, Golf Life will reach over 100 million homes in the United States with a total reach of over 325 million duplicated households for each episode. In 2007 Golf Life was able to generate over 8 million viewers on FSN. In addition, Golf Life’s online video distribution (http://www.golflifetv.com and http://golf.blip.com) has reached over 40,000 views since April 1st with 2,500 views per day.
“While we continue to be the leading golf series in terms of viewership across sports television in the US, the online viewership is very exciting. Our Golf Life feed on I-Tunes alone is averaging 2,000 views daily and we are finding top search engine listings for segments we have done for leading golf companies. These online viewers are searching for our content, which means they are targeted golf consumers. When you put this together with the number of airings on TV and the print penetration of Golf Tips magazine we are very happy that a lot of golfers are getting to see our informative content,” said Michael Billingsley, executive producer of the series.
Golf Life producers are working with Golf Tips Magazine to create features within the 2008 television series that are in line with articles you see in Golf Tips issues. The idea is provide the first completely integrated and affordable media campaign for equipment manufacturers and other groups looking to target their audience. For example, the first episodes of Golf Life Television and online at golflifetv.com feature video on new irons from leading golf manufacturers including Titleist, Taylormade and Cleveland Golf along with video tips and advice on iron play. Print based articles will be featured in Golf Tips Magazine and online articles will appear at golftipsmag.com.
