Top-Flite Will Provide One Lucky Consumer the Chance to Make a Putt Worth $1 Million
Top-Flite announced today the start of an online promotion that
will provide one lucky winner with the chance to sink a putt worth $1
million. Since the introduction of their new D2 golf ball earlier this
year, Top-Flite has been waging a war against "wuss golf" and calling
everyone who lays-up or plays it safe. From June 1 through July 15,
consumers can visit www.theballstogoforit.com and/or
www.youvsvegas.com to try and earn their shot at the $1 million putt.
The putt itself will take place at the Treasure Island Hotel and
Casino in Las Vegas. Since a putt for $1 million doesn't pack enough
pressure for the average D2 golfer, Top-Flite has upped the ante by
adding every distraction Las Vegas has to offer during the actual putt
-- including show girls, circus performers, magicians and, of course,
a rowdy cast of Pirates and Sirens from Treasure Island.
On-site to coach the lucky winner through all the pressure and
distractions will be former Pro Baseball All-Star and clutch
performer, John Kruk. A past star on one of baseball's most hard-nosed
teams, Kruk will be able to offer the winner tips on how to deal with
rowdy fans and focus on the task at hand.
"This promotion fits the personality of the D2 golfer perfectly,"
said Paul English, Top-Flite Brand Manager. "The Top-Flite D2 golfer
is the guy everyone wants in their foursome, the guy who won't, under
any circumstances lay-up or play it safe. The person who wins the
opportunity to putt for $1 million will have bragging rights for the
rest of their life!"
The new D2 golf ball lets golfers attack the fairways and seize
the greens. The D2 is the longest and softest ball in the Top-Flite
arsenal featuring the unique proprietary DimpleinDimple(TM)
Aerodynamic pattern. By reducing drag and improving lift, these golf
balls maximize control and distance for a wide range of swing speeds.
