Bushnell Golf Extends Relationship with Rickie Fowler
Fowler Re-Signs As Global Bushnell Golf Brand Ambassador Through 2014 Season
Overland Park, KS, March 5, 2013 – Bushnell Golf, makers of the #1 Laser Rangefinder on the PGA Tour for more than a decade, announced today a two-year sponsorship extension with PGA Tour player Rickie Fowler. One of the most dynamic young players in professional golf, Fowler will highlight the full range of Bushnell Golf products in print and broadcast advertising worldwide.
Fowler claimed his first tournament win as a professional, the Kolon Korea Open on the OneAsia Tour, rolling to a six-stroke win at Woo Jeong Hills CC in October 2011. He captured his first PGA Tour victory in May 2012 in dramatic style, carding a birdie on the first extra hole to defeat Rory McIlroy and D.A. Points at the Wells Fargo Championship for his first TOUR win.
“We’re delighted to continue our relationship with Rickie as he works toward his goal of winning a Major Championship,” said Phil Gyori, Executive Vice President of Marketing for Bushnell. “Rickie has been a great representative of the Bushnell brand, showcasing precision shots and accuracy week in and week out. He has accomplished great things in just a few short years on Tour, and we know that he’s going to continue to be successful for years to come.”
In addition to using Bushnell’s laser rangefinders during practice rounds while preparing for tournaments, Fowler will also represent Bushnell in various marketing, advertising and promotional efforts. Additionally, Fowler’s caddy Joe Skovron will wear the Bushnell Golf logo on his sleeve during tournament play at all Tour stops.
“I use a Bushnell laser rangefinder to prepare for every tournament, and my Bushnell has helped me prepare for some of the toughest tests in golf,” said Fowler. “I’m thrilled to extend this relationship, and I look forward to continuing to use the best laser rangefinder in golf.”
Bushnell, the #1 choice of professional golfers, offers a full range of rangefinders, which continue to change and improve the way golfers assess distances, ultimately improving performance.

Bushnell Contributes $145,000 to Folds of Honor Foundation
In an effort to continue its support of the Folds of Honor Foundation (FHF), Bushnell will make two new Patriot Packs available in 2013 featuring the Tour v3 and Tour v3 Slope. A percentage of every 2013 sale of the Bushnell Patriot Packs will be provided to the foundation’s fundraising efforts. The all-new Patriot Packs come equipped with a Tour v3 or Tour v3 Slope, Bushnell and FHF bag tag, new Bushnell productive carrying case and exclusive Bushnell Golf and FHF branded golf tees at a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $299 (Tour v3) and $399 (Tour v3 Slope).
“Bushnell continues to be an incredible partner that is willing to put its money and marketing support behind ensuring that no family gets left behind when it comes to education," said Major Dan Rooney, the Folds of Honor Foundation president and founder. "Thanks to the generosity from partners like Bushnell, we have now awarded more than 3,800 scholarships to deserving families," added Rooney.
Founded by Major Dan Rooney in 2007, the Folds of Honor Foundation provides educational scholarships to the spouses and children of service members disabled or killed during U.S. military service. Major Rooney, a former F-16 pilot who served three tours in Iraq, founded Folds of Honor Foundation to ensure that families of fallen service are never left behind on the field of battle.
In addition to the contribution, Bushnell has partnered with country music star Craig Morgan on a donation download program benefitting the Folds of Honor Foundation. A 10-year veteran of the U.S. Army, Morgan wrote and dedicated a song titled “What Matters Most” to the heroes Folds of Honor Foundation supports. The track, a tribute to the millions of service men and women who defend America’s freedom, parallels the stories of so many who have lost loved ones on the field of battle. For each download of “What Matters Most,” Bushnell will donate $1 (up to $10,000) to the Folds of Honor Foundation.

Jimenez, 48, Sets Record with Hong Kong Title
As much as I love seeing the next generation of golfers moving up the rankings, I have to admit, I like it even more when a guy like Miguel Angel Jimenez at age 48 takes down a tournament!
The Most Interesting Man in Golf is now also the European Tour’s oldest winner.Forty-eight-year-old Miguel Angel Jimenez continued his love affair with the UBS Hong Kong Open on Sunday by closing with a 5-under 65 to win by one. It was his third career title at that event.
At 48 years and 318 days, Jimenez became the oldest winner of a European Tour event, surpassing Des Smyth’s record (48 years, 34 days) from 2001.
“It’s an honor to set this record,” Jimenez told reporters afterward, “and I hope it’s not the last one.”
Twelve of his 19 career European Tour titles have come after turning 40. His third Hong Kong title – the Spaniard also won in 2005 and ’08 – didn’t come easily, as he had to hold off a hard-charging Fredrik Andersson Hed (64) to win by one.
Michael Campbell, mired in a miserable slump since his last victory in 2005, held a share of the 54-hole lead. But a 2-over 72 in the final round dropped him into joint eighth, seven shots behind. American Matt Kuchar finished solo seventh.

Hawaii Ironman
If you're in the area, I highly recommend checking it out. Here's a little more history on this epic event...
The inaugural “Hawaiian IRON MAN Triathlon” was conceptualized in 1977 as a way to challenge athletes who had seen success at a local biathlon. San Diego-based John Collins proposed combining the three toughest endurance races in Hawai’i – the 2.4-mile Waikiki Roughwater Swim, 112 miles of the Around-O’ahu Bike Race and the 26.2-mile Honolulu Marathon – into one event.
On Feb. 18, 1978, 15 people came to Waikiki to take on the IRONMAN challenge. Prior to racing, each received three sheets of paper with a few rules and a course description. The last page read: “Swim 2.4 miles! Bike 112 miles! Run 26.2 miles! Brag for the rest of your life!”
In 1981, the race moved from the tranquil shores of Waikiki to the barren lava fields of Kona on the Big Island of Hawai’i. Along the Kona Coast, black lava rock dominates the panorama, and athletes battle the “ho’omumuku” crosswinds of 45 mph, 95 degree temperatures and a scorching sun.
Now in its 34th year, the IRONMAN World Championship centers on the dedication and courage exhibited by participants who demonstrate the Ironman mantra that “ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. ®” On Oct. 13, nearly 1,800 athletes will embark on a 140.6-mile journey that presents the ultimate test of body, mind and spirit to earn the title of “IRONMAN.”
Team Furuichi & Aoshima finished 5-Under
As I get older and my golf game starts to decline, it's encouraging to see the next generation of golfers starting to take shape. Last weekend the Hawaii State Junior Golf Association (HSJGA) conducted the final round of the 2012 Mixed Team Championship at Poipu Bay Golf Course. The team of Hana Furuichi and Kengo Aoshima finished in first place with a total score of 139. Second went to Aiko Leong and Shawn Lu (142) and third, Ciera Min and Tyler Munetake (146)
The Mixed Team Championship consisted of two-person teams–one boy and one girl from the 13 – 18 age division. The first round was played using Four-Ball Stroke Play and the second was played using Foursome Stroke Play. The challenging Poipu Bay Course played 6,117 yards for the Girls 13-18 and 6,499 yards for the Boys 13-18.
The Mixed Team Championship helps prepare Hawaii Team members compete in the similar Ryder Cup format Asia Pacific Junior Cup being played against the top junior golfers from Japan during the 6th annual Asia Pacific Junior Cup, happening November 1-3 at the Waikoloa Kings’ Course on the Big Island.
Keep it on the short grass, but more importantly, have fun out there!

Within the course are about 200 natural Monkey Pod Trees, which is an important factor to consider when mastering the course. Since every hole is so rich in variety, playing at this challenging course will surely be an event to remember for a long time.
Accuracy and calmness are the keys to successful scoring, rather than long-range driving, since the overall distances are not very long. Although the greens may not be very fast, please do watch out for the slopes. If you only look at the grass without judging the slopes correctly, you can very easily putt 3 or 4 times.
As long as you watch out for the above points, this course can be enjoyed by a wide variety of players, beginners as well as advanced players, junior as well as senior players. If you know the basics of golf, you can expect to get good scores.

Kauai - The Garden Island
It's no secret to those who have been to the island of Kaua'i that it truly is a tropical paradise. I came across this article published in 'Nevada Fairways 18' magazine introducing Kaua'i to their readers...
The island of Kaua'i has long been known for its tranquility and rejuvenation. But after a two-year span that has seen many of its golf course resorts undergo substantial enhancement projects, the Garden Isle is beginning to draw more and more travelers with golf clubs in tow. GOLF Magazine's biennial 2012 Best Courses You Can Play list was released earlier this month and Kaua'i courses held four of the top eight spots in the state rankings for Hawaii. The newly renovated Prince Course at Princeville Golf Club is the No. 1-ranked course in Hawaii and also landed at No. 16 on the magazine's "Top-100 Courses You Can Play list. Following the Prince Course in the state rankings are Makai Golf Club at Princeville at No. 5, Kaua'i Lagoons Golf Club at No. 7, Poipu Bay Golf Club at No. 8 and Puakea Golf Course at No. 17.
The Prince Course at Princeville rose from No. 22 in 2010 to its current No. 16 raking in the Top-100 after completing a 15-month renovation program in March. In addition, Kaua'i Lagoons Golf Club, located next to the Kaua'i Marriott Resort & Beach Club, soared from No. 18 in the 2010 "Best-Of" state rankings to No. 7 this year, after opening the new Kiele Moana (Ocean) Course in May, a course that offers the longest stretch of continuous ocean holes in all of Hawaii. Makai Golf Club at Princeville - which completed a multi-million dollar renovation in 2010 - improved three spots.
Poipu Bay Golf Club, the former home of the PGA Grand Slam and an amenity of the Grand Hyatt Kaua'i Resort & Spa, re-opened in December 2010 to rave reviews after installing the eco-friendly Seashore Paspalum turf on all greens. Puakea Golf Course is annually included among Hawaii's best courses in national rankings and is situated at the base of towering Mount Haupu, providing striking views of the land where the blockbuster motion picture Jurassic Park was filmed.

Old School Golfer - New School Golf Balls
I'm not shy about admitting that I don't have the prettiest of golf swings, but I've learned to live with it. I hit the ball relatively straight, just not as long as some guys. So, I do my best to keep it between the ditches on the short grass and play a percentage game. I've given lessons a try a few times, but over time, I always seem to slowly steer back to my old style. I suppose there's a reason for the saying 'You can't teach an old dog new tricks'. Although I may be stuck in my ways in a sense, I still like to try the 'new and improved' golf products that hit the market.
I took them out for a test run last week, and was pleased with the way the felt. I typically like to play a softer ball, and the Vision ball seemed to be right on par with what I usually look for. But wait, the best is yet to come! By far, the coolest of the Vision balls was the 808 prototype ball. It performed really well, and as you can see from the picture below, it has a UV retaining cover which makes it glow in the dark!! I've seen other glow in the dark golf balls, where the golf ball has a hole through it and you insert a little glow stick. The flaw in that system is obvious, throwing off the balance of the ball. But the Vision ball, is by far the highest performing glow ball I've ever seen.
As many of you know, living in Hawaii, the sun sets early in the evening, making this ball fantastic for those twilight rounds of golf! Find out more information about Vision golf balls at: www.visiongolfball.com
