Nike Golf Sponsors The EWGA 2010 Member-Get-A-Member Program And
Renews As Supporting Partner
PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL, - Nike Golf continues its
sponsorship of the EWGA (Executive Women's Golf Association)
Member-Get-A-Member program for 2010 and has renewed as a supporting
partner for the nationwide organization. The company will be participating
in the "Try Test & Buy Fest" held in conjunction with the EWGA 2010 annual
conference, now called the EWGA Golfpalooza, on April 7-10 in Pinehurst,
N.C.
"Each year over 4,000 women are introduced to the
game and the EWGA through the Member Get-A-Member program,"" says Pam
Swensen, CEO of the EWGA. "We thank Nike Golf for their continuing support
and sponsorship of this vital program that enables us to introduce and keep
more women involved in the game of golf and having fun doing it!"
The annual Member-Get-A-Member program encourages and
rewards EWGA members who recruit others to join the association. The
"Recruiter of the Year", determined by a drawing of the top winners who
have recruited 12 or more members, includes a custom fitting for new Nike
Golf Clubs, a golf bag and a trip to the Nike World Headquarters in
Beaverton, Oregon. Each chapter's top recruiter, having recruited a
"foursome" or more to qualify, will receive a Nike prize package and a
chance to win one of 10 Nike drivers. Additional prize drawings will be
held for every member who recruits a "twosome" or more.
Located in Beaverton, Oregon, Nike Golf designs and
markets golf equipment, apparel, balls, footwear, bags and accessories
worldwide. Nike Golf is passionately dedicated to ushering in the future of

About EWGA Geared toward the schedules of busy women, the EWGA
welcomes every woman interested in getting involved and connected through
golf. EWGA offers all members organized play and clinics for all levels of
golfers, personal and professional development, learning and mentoring
programs and coast-to-coast networking opportunities to develop
friendships, business connections and lifelong relationships.
Since its founding in 1991, the EWGA has touched the
lives of more than 100,000 women connecting them to learn, play, and enjoy
golf for business and fun. This tax-exempt association delivers a wide
range of golf, social and networking activities for both new and
experienced golfers.
A 2008 survey of EWGA members conducted by the PGA of
America found that the average EWGA member plays 32 rounds per year. EWGA
members spent an average of $4296 on golf activities, merchandise and golf
related travel, with each local EWGA chapter annually generating $602,900
in golf related spending. With over 125 chapters throughout the United
States, as well as international chapters in Canada, the EWGA represents
nearly $75 million to the golf industry.
A survey of former EWGA members found that 84% of
these women continued to play golf. While the former EWGA member survey did
not include golf-related travel, this group's golf spending accounted for
an additional $98 million, totaling over $173 million and 1.7 million
rounds of golf per year.
The EWGA is headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens,
Florida. For more information about the association and its membership,
