TowCaddy Launch Itinerary Set!

At long last, the dates, cities and shows have been determined for the Green to Green Tour. We're ready to add another definition of the word "green" to the golf world.

Click on the map and check the TowCaddy calendar (November 8th entry) for the schedule. Hotels and golf courses are still to be determined, but we hear there are some viaducts still available along the route.

Welcome Sporting News Photographer Jay Drowns

Jay Drowns, a photographer for the Sporting News will be joining us on the ride! Thanks go out to his wife for giving him permission! You can see some of his mad photography skills here!

Though he didn't do it for us, (don't sue us Jay) here is a great green to green photo that he took! check out his site! You Notre Dame fans will love it!

Add the PGA Merchandise Show to the list!

We have decided to go to add the PGA show in Orlando to our launch. So get ready to see us at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando Florida on the 29-31 of January then ride with us (Not the whole way. We have only three days and 400+ miles and we still need to golf!) to the Golf Industry Show at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans! Come by and see us, We'll post our booth numbers soon!

The Cloth Caddy

We just found the perfect golf towel and we are taking it on the road! The last thing we want is a towel flapping in the wind. Sure, traffic will see you better with a flapping towel, but you will stop traffic when it gets caught in one of your wheels and you go down.

Alpine Innovation's Cloth Caddy is a 12" towel that packs tightly into a neoprene pouch and attaches to your golf bag. We are getting it branded with the TowCaddy logo! We are also going to get a bunch of their "Spudz" to use and give away at the events we go to so look for us and get your hands on a Spudz. I am really digging the Spudz name too, having grown up in the heart of spud country in Ammon Idaho. (Did you get the whole "digging" reference? My friend Mark Trunnell would like that joke.)

Come along for the ride!

Here is the TowCaddy launch calendar (as opposed to the lunch calendar which is far more appetizing) Why not come along for the ride! Literally! Soon we will be publishing a detailed launch schedule. If you want to join in the riding, golfing, or both, email us at info@towcaddy.com.

Charlie Birney is going with us to GIS!

I have some catching up to do. Last week I traveled to Washington DC (Chad, Allison + the kids, thanks for giving me a bed to sleep in and letting me see Emril the chef.)

Anyway, while there, I met with Charlie Birney from The Brick Companies and President of the National Golf Course Owners Association. He is a real green guy and has been a big advocate of TowCaddy from nearly our beginning. He is also a pretty cool artist and creates each of his business cards by doing these great drawings on them. I framed his business card and have it on the wall next to illustrations by Richard Hull, Gary Baseman and Howard Fullmer. Here is the link to his blog! There are some great photos of the floating green he created for charity golf tournaments he gets involved with.

The NGCOA is one of the premier partners of the Golf Industry Show where we will be officially launching the TowCaddy. Charlie is going to be riding with us from Pensacola, Florida to New Orleans (we'll post an itinerary later). He is also trying to get a few others from the NGCOA of the GIS to join in too! The more the merrier!

First Launch Partner along for the Ride

As we get closer to the Golf Industry Show in New Orleans, the coolest bicycle in the world has joined us to contribute bikes for the launch. That isn't just hyperbole. The Delta 7 road bike, the Ascend was named 2008 product of the year at Interbike.

The bike we will be riding on the launch is the Arantix. Now while I am a roadie, this mountain bike is pretty spectacular. The carbon fiber/kevlar frame weighs in at just over 2 lbs. But even more, it's isotruss frame is amazing to look at. You can bet though that for the 200 plus mile launch ride, we will be using slicks and bar ends.

It is getting a lot of good press. We hope to as well!

golf green

We are off on the creation of the TowCaddy. The purpose is to make golf green. I know this is a bit vague but we can't actually tell anyone what is going on because it is, how do attorneys say it..."privileged".

Rest assured, we will reveal more and more as time goes on. Look for the TowCaddy launch calendar on google calendars.

Our mission is simple. We want people to go green to green.
