The Future of Golf and New Media – Radio Interview

Saturday, August 7th, 2010

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of discussing the future of golf and new media on The Golf Club radio show. The clip below features host Danielle Tucker with Dennis Allen from the new Back 9 Network and myself. Duramed Futures Tour player, Stephanie Connelly, also has a nice interview following our roundtable.

Pilla Sport & Christina Kim Join The Fight Against Lyme Disease!

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

As you’ve probably noticed, lime green is a pretty popular color around here. It’s my favorite color. It’s also become a distinct part of my personal brand. However, it is more than just that. It also represents my little sister, Teri’s, ongoing battle with Lyme Disease.

LPGA Tour star, Christina Kim, and I recently linked up with Pilla Sport to create custom lime green sunglass frames to show our support for the millions of Lyme victims worldwide. Their shades are second to none. Initially designed for the best marksmen and archers in the world, Pilla Sport sunglasses make colors and nuances on the golf course come to life. I’ve never played with such visual clarity.

People are already starting to take notice. Christina and her Pilla sunglasses were featured in a “Style Watch” article that was recently published at LPGA.com. Fans continuously ask her about them and it gives her a chance to speak about the horrors of Lyme Disease. It’s awesome to see CK rocking her bright green shades out on tour because as she explained in her book, Swinging From My Heels, she has never before felt compelled to get behind a specific cause.

Christina has even taken her new role as Lyme Disease advocate a step further…

I am pleased to annouce that a portion of all proceeds from every sale of Pilla Sport’s new lime green sunglass frames will be donated to Turn The Corner Foundation to help find a cure for this horrible disease.

I can’t think of a more bold and vibrant spokesperson, who is anxious to speak her mind and fight for what’s right. Thanks to Christina and the folks at Pilla for taking action and making this happen!

CKJR Surprise Giveaway

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

If you’ve been keeping up with Twitter, you may have noticed what Christina Kim surprised me with after my 1up victory in the inaugural CKJR showdown. If not, well, that’s what I’m here to brag about. Christina was sweet enough to have the people over at Titleist build me a custom Scotty Cameron prototype putter! She even had Scotty Cameron, himself, stamp “Speed Raser” onto the back!! Plus, she went out of her way to overnight it so I would recieve it before I left town to head out on tour. Can you believe her?! I am so blessed to have made such an amazing new friend, all because of the power of social media! #twitterandfoursquareftw

In keeping with the spirit of giving, Christina and I would like to give away some stuff. We don’t want this to be all about us, we want YOU to have an active role! We are tapping into uncharted waters here, people. We need your input and feedback in this adventure.

Both Christina and I are passionate about showing the world a completely different side of golf. We want to do something hip, fresh, and different. We strive to be both innovative and unique. In the end, we hope to bring a totally new audience into the game.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your support and encouragement!

Check out the video below and give us some feedback in the comments!
