But before that, he took part in several meetings with the PGA of America to work on growing the game, which has seen a decline in participation and new players in recent years, due in large part to the economic downturn.

DESIGNED TO ADAPT TO ANY SURFACE, LIE OR ANGLE
(reprint from pgamagazine.com)
Elevating the highly successful TOUR360 franchise, adidas Golf has introduced the TOUR360 ATV (All-Terrain Versatility), the company’s most technologically-advanced shoe to date.
Engineered with a revolutionary, patent pending construction to give golfers the ability to attack every shot, no matter how challenging their position, TOUR360 ATV utilizes innovative forefoot flexibility and zonal traction elements to deliver maximum grip, comfort and stability throughout the swing. The ATV’s multiple flex points in the forefoot allow the foot to move and flex in the way it was inherently meant to, and adapt to any surface.
