Testimonials
Bank of America CEO & President Ken Lewis, on Sports Sponorship:
“I
was never inclined to pump big sums of money into sports marketing
until I saw the facts… for every dollar we spend on sports marketing,
we get $10 in revenue and $3 in earnings. This is not wasted money.”
CBS Broadcaster Jim Nantz, on the criticism of golf sponsorship:
"Golf is such an easy target. I wish all these politicians who invested their time to make all these scolding remarks about our sport would have sat down and realized what the sport does to support charities, to support local communities."
"I often feel like golf is defenseless. The mainstream media loves to attack it, loves to find fault with it."
Nantz noted the PGA Tour gives more money to charity each year than the NBA, NFL and MLB combined, and said, "Why isn't that something Barney Frank wanted to talk about? John Kerry? They really should spend a little more time digging into what the sport does."
LPGA Fan, on attending a tournament:
"I took my two little girls to the event on Friday and they had such a good time my wife and I took them back again on Sunday. It is great to have such a great women golf tournament in this area. My girls are only four and five and will probably remember this for a lifetime. The women of the LPGA were very gracious with my children, and I applaud them for that. For my children to see such great role models up close and personal is priceless. Thank you."
