Bridgestone Golf Teams Up with Michelob ULTRA for Exciting Father's Day Promotion
Award-Winning e6 Golf Balls and Michelob ULTRA Combine to Create the 'Golfer's Ultimate 6-Pack'
COVINGTON, GA — Bridgestone Golf, the No. 1 ball-fitter in golf,
announced today that it is partnering with Michelob ULTRA for the "Golfer's
Ultimate 6-Pack" promotion. Just in time for Father's Day, the Golfer's Ultimate
6-Pack is a limited-edition package featuring five Michelob ULTRA Slimline cans
and a three-ball sleeve of Bridgestone's award-winning
e6 golf balls (where legal).
"Working together with Michelob ULTRA, we have created a fun promotion that is sure
to be a winner this Father's Day season," said Dan Murphy, Bridgestone Golf's Vice
President of Marketing.
"Michelob ULTRA's partnership with Bridgestone is one of many ways we continue to
show our commitment to increasing adult players' experience on and off the course,"
said Ryan Moore, Director, Michelob ULTRA. "The Golfer's Ultimate 6-Pack represents
the best of both worlds for adult golfers: the perfect ball for the first 18 holes,
and the right beer for the 19th."
The Golfer's Ultimate 6-Pack will be released on May 23 and is the first retail
package to combine Michelob ULTRA with Bridgestone e6 golf balls at the point of
purchase. The promotion includes nearly 500,000 sleeves of e6 balls, making this
one of the largest golf ball samplings in recent history.
Bridgestone's e6 golf ball is once again a
gold medal winner in Golf Digest's "2011 Hot List,"
having earned the honor five of the last six years. The e6's three-piece
Surlyn cover construction provides the incredible ability to reduce sidespin for
increased accuracy and longer distance. The new e6 remains the lowest compression
multi-layer ball on the market - perfect for moderate swing speed players looking
to limit slices and hooks - and features Bridgestone's new
Dual Dimple Technology
for improved distance performance.
With only 95 calories, 2.6g carbs per serving and one exceptionally smooth taste,
Michelob ULTRA is the smart choice for adults who live active lifestyles. Michelob
ULTRA supports multiple golf events in the U.S., and is the official beer sponsor
of the PGA TOUR and the LPGA. For more information on how to "Live Life to the ULTRA,"
