"For golf courses, there is no risk. There is no investment and no extra labor. It is simply an new innovative revenue stream that they can surely use during the current economic decline, and all they have to do is sign up,"
Ad In The Hole will be a part of the first Outdoor New Product Preview and Demo area from 9am to 5pm in the vendor village of the 42-acre practice facility at Orange County National Golf Center.

About Ad In The Hole USA
Introduced in the U.S. in 2008, this successful worldwide program with more than 1,000 golf courses in nearly two dozen countries participating during the past 10 years has enabled many of the world's largest corporations, including Fortune 500 companies, to take advantage of its brand-building potential. Now spreading to golf courses coast-to-coast, advertisers are discovering AITH-USA, which at an average cost of $25 per thousand impressions (CPM) - is much less than traditional media. Comparatively, ad placements in the leading consumer lifestyle and business magazines average between $120 and $130 CPM.
Based on the simple principle of placing an ad at the bottom of the cup on each golf course hole, AITH-USA cannot be missed by golfers, who comprise an affluent, educated, decision-making market segment. According to Dr. Bruce Merrill, Director of Research for the Walter Cronkite Media Research Center at Arizona State University, AITH creates more than 50 ad impressions per round, per golfer, and a retention rate of the ad impression estimated at 91 percent. Important for American industries, it provides the means to remain very visibly in the marketplace, specifically targeted as a very cost efficient investment.
