Pinnacle’s Tuesdays on Tour Kicks Off at The Honda Classic

(FROM ART SELLINGER)
Brian Pavlet and I kicked off the Pinnacle Tuesdays on Tour promotion on February 26th at The Honda Classic. I have been looking forward to the day since we put the event together at the end of last year.

Be sure to check out the photo gallery below.

The set-up on the range at PGA National was great. There was a nice buzz
with all the attendees taking a few swings at our Pavillion driving cage set-up.
All visitors were treated to samples of the new Platinum Feel and Distance balls.
Big hitters walked away with a dozen, all in all more than 500 fans had some
new ammo for their next round of golf.

Well the day progressed and it was nice visiting with several of the tour
players. I was glad to run into Jerry Kelly who was on that amazing trip to
Iraq last year with Brian Pavlet and me. The connection we all had from
that journey will last a lifetime. All the pros were very receptive to us
being at the Classic – we make no claims to play their game. They know we are
going to hit it hard and have fun with the kids that attend the clinic.

The clinic began after the regular afternoon thunder shower. Unfortunately,
the rain took some crowd from us, but a large group from the First Tee program
still attended.  I always enjoy entertaining young people and these kids were so
appreciative of the shots Brian and I were hitting.

After an hour of hitting our job was done. We signed the last Pinnacle golf
balls for the kids, took a group photo and we were off to the airport.

I look forward to a great year of “Tuesday’s on Tour” with Pinnacle. Next
stop for us is my home town of Dallas and the EDS Byron Nelson Classic. I
have been associated with the junior clinic there for more than 10 years and it
should be a wonderful event. I’ll keep you posted!
