Times Square being converted to a TaylorMade driving range at 11pm the night before
To help kick off golf season, TaylorMade is turning Times Square into a driving range by hosting the TaylorMade Speed Pocket World Challenge. That’s right. On Tuesday March 11 from 11am to 2pm, consumers will be able to compare traditional irons to TaylorMade Speed Blade irons and track their distance gains.
FlightScope will track all results on a Global Leaderboard, allowing participants to compete against others in London, Toronto and San Francisco. Aside from local winners, one person will be crowned “Speed Pocket World Champion.” Participation is free and open to everyone.
Famed instructor Hank Haney and Golf Channel’s Charlie Rymer will also be on-hand for the NYC festivities. GolfWRX will be providing some live updates on the site and social media for you, so stay tuned.
GolfWRX will be covering San Francisco and New York events. With temperatures expected to climb north of 55 degrees on Tuesday, timing couldn’t be better.
