Top-Flite(R) and Golf´s First Superhero Announce Campaign to Combat Cowardice



    Top-Flite announced today that it is tired of golfers being swept
    under by a wave of play-it-safe "wimptitude." To combat this
    cowardice, Top-Flite is insisting that all players who value
    opportunity over consequence tee up the balls to go for it and NEVER
    LAY UP! Leading the charge and saving the world from the evils of wuss
    golf is Top-Flite superhero and YouTube sensation, D2 Man.

    As golf´s first Superhero, D2 Man has been taking the internet by
    storm, rapping and mercilessly calling out golfers who choose to lay
    up and lag putts. While Top-Flite´s D2 golf balls are armed with
    cutting-edge Dimple in Dimple(TM) aerodynamics, D2 Man is equipped
    with superior trash talking skills and is spreading the word that a
    shot worthy of a story is worth far more than playing it safe. With
    more than one million YouTube views and counting, the "Never Lay Up"
    mantra is catching on like wild fire (D2 Man Rap Video -- YouTube).

    "Top-Flite has a special bond with golfers who throw caution to
    the wind, have a great time playing, and above all, Never Lay Up!"
    said Paul English, Director of Brand Management for Top-Flite. "In our
    opinion, a shot not worthy of a story at the 19th hole, just isn´t
    worth playing."

    television commercials starring ESPN´s Kenny Mayne, visit

    balls including D2, Gamer and Freak are also available.
