This year, Golf Fitness Magazine would like to begin to recognize those companies that go above and beyond in promoting golf fitness and nutrition, helping others, supporting their community or even being green and helping save Mother Earth.  From apparel companies to energy bars to putters, the golfing industry is "into" making a difference in our world and it is time to recognize this.
 
The GFM Pay It Forward Award will be awarded each issue to a company that has taken their golf specific or fitness product, or company and done something that we feel all golfers should know about. 
 
At the end of the year, we will put all six candidates on our website with "their story."  At that time we will ask our valued readers to vote on-line for their favorite company. The winner will be announced at the January 2009; PGA Show in Orlando, FL and GFM will present them with a check for $2500 to be given to a non-profit organization or scholarship fund of their choosing.

Award Winners

January 2008 - Sweet Spot Golf
Our first Pay It Forward Award goes to Sweet Spot Golf.  This company has taken golf fitness to a whole new level. As we know, breast cancer is among the leading causes of death for women, however, the survival rate, if detected early is high, but detection is key. Monthly self-exams are a must, but sometimes forgotten.

March 2008 - Swingdicator
When Steve Porter first developed his Swingdicator product more than a decade ago, he was simply looking for a cure for his golf swing.  After spending several years fine-tuning the product and its marketing, Porter unveiled his Swingdicator swing aid and instructional DVD at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando this past January.
