Industry-leading custom club fitter supports fundraising Ì¢?å¬for military families, educating American youth
(SCOTTSDALE, AZ) – Hot Stix Golf – the leading custom club fitter for Tour professionals and recreational players serious about improving their games – announces its sponsorship of the 2011 Joe Foss Institute Golf Classic, taking place Monday, November 21 at TPC Scottsdale’s Stadium Course, host of the PGA Tour’s Waste Management Open.
Certified Hot Stix club fitters will be on-site to educate participants about the benefits of matching properly-fit equipment to a player’s swing characteristics. The company will also donate a Platinum Fitting ($5,000 value), autographed merchandise from some of the scores of Tour stars who rely on Hot Stix services and a hole-in-one prize at the course’s famed par-3 16th hole.
“The Joe Foss Institute is committed to instilling our nation’s youth with positive core values like honesty, hard work and perseverance,” says Mark Flynn, CEO of Hot Stix. “These align perfectly with the lessons golf teaches us all and we’re looking forward to helping tournament participants learn more about fine-tuning their games through our industry-leading custom club fitting.”
Featuring a clinic hosted by Tour star Tom Lehman and former Vice President Dan Quayle followed by a round of golf at TPC Scottsdale and an awards ceremony, the event is limited to 80 spots ($750/individual or $3,000/foursome). Players may register by calling 480.348.0316 or at www.joefoss.com/events.
Proceeds benefit the Joe Foss Institute, which annually awards $1 million in scholarships to encourage patriotism and public service, and Operation Homefront, a provider of emergency financial and other resources to families of service members and wounded soldiers. Foss was a U.S. Marine Corps Major, Congressional Medal of Honor recipient and the first American Football League Commissioner.
The Hot Stix team of highly-experienced fitters helps players through a sophisticated process analyzing how specific club components – head, shaft, ball and grip – affect individual performance. By precisely measuring loft, lie, shaft frequency, swing and ball speed, launch angle, spin rates, smash factor and other variables, Hot Stix helps maximize distance, accuracy and consistency.
A variety of Hot Stix packages are available for golfers and gift-givers, including full-bag evaluations, or ala carte driver, fairway wood, hybrid, iron and wedge fittings. The company also offers a gap analysis program, measuring the average carry and rollout for each club in the bag, ensuring players no longer have to guess when it comes to yardages.
