Holly Geoghegan of Golf Marketing Services and The Golf Insiders radio show is the committee chair.
Nearly two dozen nominations in this category came to ING from all across the golf industry. A sub-committee vote narrowed the list to the final three. Winners in this and 11 other categories will be decided by a vote of the ING membership next month, and announced at the Industry Honors Presentation Press Conference January 25 at 12:30 p.m. at Orlando’s PGA Merchandise Show in ClubING, Room 309.

Membership is open to anyone in the golf industry, related industries and media. “ING is where media and the golf industry connect.”
The three finalists in this category all had creative programs to gain exposure for their products or services. Here are descriptions:
Adams Idea Tech V4 Hybrids – These are the most technically advanced, easiest-to-hit hybrids that Adams has ever engineered. The advancements of velocity slots, now featuring Cut-Thru Technology, achieves the same CT of a driver, which delivers higher ball speeds, more forgiveness and more distance. With innovation like this, the Idea Tech V4 Hybrid is as hot as your driver.
TaylorMade Golf RocketBallz Tour Fairway Woods – The advanced Speed Pocket is the ultimate launching pad. Engineered to dramatically increase ball speed and distance. Matte-white finish and larger head is easy to align and launch. Speed Pocket in the sole boosts ball speed dramatically for more distance. Thick-Thin Crown design creates lower CG to promote higher launch for more distance. Low/forward CG for high launch and low spin.
Titleist AP2 (712 Series) Irons – These are advanced performance, multi-material irons that offer playability, the traditional solid feel of a forged iron and contemporary yet classic looks for the skilled to highly skilled golfer. AP2 irons are technically advanced blades that provide increased forgiveness without sacrificing shot workability while combining traditional blade length and sole width with a more efficient multi-material weight distribution.
