SUGAR LAND, TX
(January 8, 2007) — PG Professional Golf, formerly Professional Golf
Ball Services, Ltd. (PGSI), the world’s largest golf ball retrieval
company and leading green grass supplier, announced a two-year
partnership agreement with The First Tee.
As a partner, PG
Professional Golf becomes a preferred supplier of The First Tee. An
industry leader for over 14 years, PG Professional Golf will supply
Chapters of The First Tee with a full line of new range balls and
green grass products that provide superior quality at a tremendous
value.
“We are very
excited about being able to create revenue streams for The First
Tee,” said Michael Hutchins, PG Professional Golf sales manager. “We
all have heroes in golf. However, it is the person who put the club
in our hands and taught us the principles and values that come with
the great game of golf that has made the difference in our lives.
The First Tee exemplifies the lessons of life through golf and we
are ecstatic to partner with an organization that makes a difference
for so many.”
PG Professional
Golf will assist Chapters with fund-raising by asking customers to
donate a portion of their retrieval credit to their local Chapter.

to be partnering with PG Professional Golf and are excited about
their enthusiasm for The First Tee,” said Joe Louis Barrow, Jr., The
