LPGA star Paula Creamer will work with Jack Nicklaus for TEE IT FORWARD
The LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association) will be joining Jack Nicklaus to work as spokespersons for a programme dubbed TEE IT FORWARD.
TEE IT FORWARD is designed to give players an idea about how to play their tees in the most effective way.
In addition to Paula Creamer and the 18-time grand slam winner, Dustin Johnson, who is a PGA (Professional Golf Association) Tour Professional, will also be in the roster to run the promotional campaign for TEE IT FORWARD.
The three stars will be providing their meaningful advice and promotional messages to players.
According to a source familiar with the programme, there will be plenty of good options off the tee. Moreover, existing forward tees are given special emphasis in order to have more fun with their golf.
Sport followers said that TEE IT FORWARD is a viable strategy golf patrons have made for rising players.
They said that players will have a great opportunity to learn how to tee off the game in the most productive way.
Although the programme is a joint effort of the United States Golf Association (USGA) and PGA of America, the presence of Paula Creamer has given it an added excitement. Creamer has been a prominent figure in the women’s golf circuit.
Speaking to the media about the importance of the initiative, Jack Nicklaus said that he is pretty excited about helping rising players learn good techniques to play their tees.
He said that the TEE IT FORWARD will gain plenty of attraction once it gets under way. "We want golfers to know that they can TEE IT FORWARD anytime and anywhere," Nicklaus said.
"Average golfers, who are inspired and motivated to play like their favorite Tour players, should not look at where those players tee from but, instead, the results of those tee shots.
"If golfers, who often play too far back, would move to a more forward tee, they are going to be left with shorter irons into greens, which enhances their ability to score better, and, in the end, makes the game more fun…and that's what it's all about".
Analysts said that Paula Creamer has expanded her influence beyond the LPGA and women’s golf, which is commendable and will prove beneficial for the sport as a whole.
