Sweet Spot Golf Wins First Award

Our first Pay It Forward Award goes to Sweet Spot Golf. This company has taken golf fitness to a whole new level. As we know, breast cancer is among the leading causes of death for women, however, the survival rate, if detected early is high, but detection is key. Monthly self-exams are a must, but sometimes forgotten.

However, what if you played golf once a week, once a month, or even once every other month with a "Pink Putter?" Don't you think your memory would be jogged? This is truly an excellent reminder for women to do their self-exams. However, not only is this a pink putter, but it is an exceptional golf tool-engineered for accuracy and enabling great putts.

The Think Pink putter is one of the most stylish and forgiving putters on the market and a possible lifesaver as well. However, it gets better, Sweet Spot Golf, maker of the Think Pink Putter and now the Think Pink Driver (which launched in December, 2007) are proud sponsors of the National Breast Cancer Foundation (www.nationalbreastcancer.org) A percentage of each sale from the Think Pink club line is donated to this organization.

In talking with Sweet Spot Golf President Brian Allman, it is clear how grounded he is. "Giving back and helping others is a priority in my life and in how we run our company, it's not a choice it's part of our company DNA," explains Allman. However, Sweet Spot Golf is not the first run Allman and his partner and friend, Dean Omatsu have had at helping others and saving lives.

As parents, Allman and Omatsu realized early on with teenagers the risk teens are at once they start to drive. "Car accidents are the #1 cause of death among teenagers, that is a very tough statistic to swallow when you are a parent, and one in which we had to try to make a difference in," replies Allman, a father of two teen age sons. Because safety is a priority for Toyota, Allman and Omatsu found a home for an idea. "Toyota is determined to help save one life at a time," says Omatsu. "They have put their heart into this program."

The program is called "Toyota Driving Expectations" and it is designed to give driving teens and their parents more experience through some real world driving conditions behind the wheel. "The program was designed to save lives, much like the pink putter," explains Dean Omatsu, co-founder of Sweet Spot Golf with their third partner and product designer Chuck Parise. Toyota Driving Expectations is now gearing up to tour around the country for a third year.

So as you can see, our first Pay It Forward award goes to a golf company that takes golf fitness one step further, educating, contributing and encouraging women to take breast cancer seriously. As they take time for themselves to play golf, stay healthy and enjoy life they are reminded how "sweet" it is. For more information, visit www.sweetspotgolf.net
