Power Tee announce that Paul Lawrie has agreed to act as their Ambassador at Large, promoting them internationally.

Paul is a consummate professional whose many European Tour victories, Ryder Cup performances, along with his success in The Open Championship bear testimony to his talent, hard work and dedication to the game.

Paul Lawrie said: “Power Tee is the most productive and enjoyable practice aid a golfer can find in today’s driving range. This is why it is found at the best practice facilities in the world such as St Andrews, The Belfry, Wentworth Club and the superb DromolandCastle in Ireland.

“In fact, you’ll find them in 98% of the UK’s automated driving ranges as well as in facilities in 15 other countries. For this reason, if you enter a Power Tee driving range you are far more likely to find a quality practice experience than if you use a lesser range. The types of business that invest in your leisure time are more likely to hold quality range balls, a good selection of targets, friendly well managed facility and a comfortable practice and leisure environment. Why settle for less? If your driving range does not value your custom highly enough to give you the latest and best facilities, why not find a driving range that does.”

Richard Baggarley MD said: “We recognise in Paul the values we share as market leader in automation. He’s a wonderful Professional and family man with a passion for the game and its future development. He has demonstrated his commitment through the personal investment of time and money in his various foundations.

“The 5 million balls played worldwide every day from our machines bear witness to the continuing success of our innovative and award winning technology. Our devotion, shared with Paul, for growing the game of golf is clearly demonstrated by the product itself and by the consistent support of our team.

“We have received some impressive accolades: The Queen’s Award for Innovation, EGCOA Supplier of the Year award 2012/13, acknowledgement by the PGA of UK and Europe as being the only form of teeing automation recognised by them. These are wonderful honours, but our greatest pride is in seeing new people coming to the game of golf and enjoying their practice from our Power Tees. That’s what it’s all about.

For driving range operators our technology & support adds value to their facilities, enabling them to increase revenues throughout, and it’s often the clincher as more golf courses utilise their ranges to retain members. Power Tee leads the charge in introducing new people to the game of golf and helping sites retain them. Paul Lawrie and Power Tee have a great synergy, both are professional, both work tirelessly to get to where they want to be and both want to help grow the game we love.”

The Paul Lawrie Golf Centre in Aberdeen has a fully automated driving range, a great academy course and is the home of the Paul Lawrie foundation.

Power Tee looks forward to working with their Ambassador for many years to come
