MEMPHIS, Tenn. — True Temper®, the world's No. 1 shaft manufacturer, announces its sponsorship of the American Junior Golf Association. True Temper signed a multi-year partnership agreement through the 2011 season, which creates a unique ambassador program that will bring True Temper’s expertise to the AJGA members with a direct focus on equipment education and player/sponsor interaction.
“True Temper is happy to work with and sponsor the AJGA and its mission,” says Ray Lucas, vice president of sales and marketing for True Temper Sports. “We believe in supporting the best players at all levels of the game and feel this partnership allows us to do just that at the junior level.”
In addition to the ambassador program, True Temper will be featured in the AJGA's online magazine, The AJGA Insider and will work with the AJGA to provide players with educational content about custom fitting.
“We appreciate True Temper's support of the AJGA,” said Jason Etzen, AJGA chief business officer. “True Temper has been a leader in the golf industry for over 70 years and we are excited for the opportunities this partnership will create.”
