Full Swing Golf Teams up with The Tiger Woods Foundation for Global Challenge

Full Swing Golf has teamed up with The Tiger Woods Foundation for a global Closest to the Pin Challenge.

Full Swing Golf, a leading manufacturer of indoor golf simulators, and The Tiger Woods Foundation, dedicated to creating college-access programs for underserved children, have partnered for a global Closest to the Pin Challenge, a contest that will run from October 14 to November 17, 2013, with all proceeds going to the Foundation's programs to create opportunities for better education for children who would not otherwise have a clear path to college.

Contestants in the Closest to the Pin Challenge will use Full Swing Golf simulators to compete for the grand prize, which is a VIP Experience with a select PGA TOUR pro during the final round of the 2013 Northwestern Mutual World Challenge in Thousand Oaks, California. There will be five weekly contests in October and November and, for $5, contestants will hit three balls using the simulation of the par 3 7th hole at Pebble Beach Golf Links. The pin will be located in a position that will be hard to reach, and the wind will be set to strong. Ten contestants with shots closest to the hole in each weekly contest will advance to the playoffs, which will run from November 18 to 24. The winners of the weekly contests will also get a Nike VRS 56° Forged Wedge.

The Challenge is open to contestants with Full Swing Golf simulators around the world. For details, visit fullswinggolf.com/tiger.
