June 26, 2006 PRECEPT GOLF’S GIRLS GOLF EQUIPMENT DONATION TALLY REACHES OVER $22K IN 3 MONTHS SINCE PROGRAM’S START Paula Creamer continues to make birdies with pink Precept ball to benefit Junior Girls Golf Programs Nationwide Covington, Ga. — This past spring at the Kraft Nabisco Championship, LPGA star and Precept Tour Team standout Paula Creamer kicked off a season long promotion in which birdies she makes with Precept’s new pink Tour SIII golf ball result in equipment donations for the LPGA-USGA Girls Golf program. Through nine official events played since the program’s inception in Palm Springs, Creamer has recorded 31 birdies and two eagles with the pink Precept Tour SIII during final round play. Year-to-date, through the 2006 Wegman’s LPGA, the Pink Panther has earned a whopping $24,500 in Precept golf balls for Girls Golf chapters nationwide. “We are very pleased with the success of the program thus far,” said Dan Murphy, Senior Director of Marketing – Bridgestone/Precept Golf. “LPGA-USGA Girls Golf is a program that will most certainly help to grow female participation in the game and provide new energy to our industry. We have already received a number of thank you notes from the girls and the program’s site directors. It is quite a treat to see the way the girls idolize Paula. This is truly one of the more rewarding initiatives we’ve undertaken at Bridgestone.” “Precept’s generosity in allowing these girls the opportunity to play the same brand of ball as their idol is phenomenal,” said Sherry Greene, Programs Manager - LPGA-USGA Girls Golf. “The donations earned by Paula have certainly helped to add to these young ladies’ enjoyment of the game.” Paula’s new Precept Pink Tour SIII is available to consumers in a limited edition “Paula Pack” containing 6 balls. The “Paula Pack” features a suggested retail price of $27 and is available now at green grass retailers and golf specialty shops nationwide.
