Proceeds From Sales Of USA-Themed Softspikes Golf Cleats, Powder Coasted Divot Repair Tools And EZ See Ball Markers Will Continue To Support The Folds of Honor Foundation
Brentwood, Tennessee, June 12, 2009 … PrideSports, maker of Softspikes® golf cleats – the world’s best selling golf cleat brand, Pride Golf Tees – the world’s best selling wooden golf tee brand, and Fast-Twist® – the #1 insert system on the PGA TOUR, is excited to announce its continued partnership with the prestigious Folds of Honor Foundation until the end of 2010.
As part of the alliance, PrideSports will continue to sell its specially-made USA-themed products, including red, white & blue Softspikes golf cleats, EZ See Ball Markers printed with the American Flag, and red powder-coated divot repair tools, also printed with the American Flag. A portion of these proceeds will be donated back to the Folds of Honor Foundation.
Founded by Captain Dan Rooney, an F-16 pilot in the Air National Guard and a PGA Golf Professional, the Folds of Honor Foundation (www.foldsofhonor.org) is a legacy foundation designed to provide educational scholarships for dependents and spouses of soldiers who are either killed or disabled while serving and defending the nation. The Foundation’s trademark fundraising and public awareness initiative is Patriot Golf Day, a program that generated nearly $2 million to support military families in 2008, and which will take place over the Labor Day weekend of Sept. 4 through Sept. 7, in 2009.
“The feedback from our patriotic products has been remarkable, and we are truly honored to help support the families of the men and women who have defended our country and freedom,” said John Hohman, VP of Marketing, PrideSports. “Softspikes and PrideSports look forward to continuing our dedicated support for these brave individuals over the next year and a half.”

This acquisition essentially formed the world’s premier golf accessories company, as Pride and Softspikes are the world’s leading golf tee and golf cleat lines, respectively. Today, PrideSports is the world leader in the design and manufacture of cleats, spikes and receptacles for the entire golf footwear industry.
