LA GOLF AND BRYSON DECHAMBEAU LAUNCH NEW DRIVER

LA GOLF

LA GOLF, the industry leader in cutting-edge golf innovation, is proud to announce the launch of its first-ever driver with Face ID technology. Co-designed by two-time U.S. Open Champion Bryson DeChambeau and LA GOLF Chief Design Officer Jeff Meyer, this groundbreaking driver introduces a patented fitting system that matches both the face and shaft to your swing speed, significantly cutting side spin and making even your misses go straighter. “Bryson’s big idea to make the curve of the face proportionate to swing speed is cutting side spin off the toe and heel almost in half, essentially turning your slice into a fade and hook into a draw,” said Reed Dickens, Founder and CEO of LA GOLF, “and the exciting part is that is works for all swing speeds.” DeChambeau summed up his partnership with LA GOLF by saying, “I have been on a decade long journey to solve for every possible variable with my equipment. Jeff Meyer is the most creative engineer I have ever worked with, and Reed is a proven disruptor and risk taker. That is a rare combination in the golf space, and the driver is the result of that dynamic.” The LA GOLF Driver is the first to pair the curvature of the face (bulge and roll) and shaft to match your swing speed. The revolutionary Face ID technology significantly reduces side spin off the heel and toe by nearly 50%, transforming slices into fades and hooks into draws, giving golfers confidence on the course. LA GOLF’s driver comes standard with their premium A series shafts, optimized for your swing straight out of the box. Bryson’s Design, Your Swing. The LA GOLF Driver is now available for purchase, visit LAGOLF.com to learn more and secure your custom-fit driver today. About LA GOLF LA GOLF’s pro player, anti-establishment DNA has made it the most provocative brand in golf by partnering with the world’s greatest players, using unique performance-enhancing materials, and taking a playful brand position. The governing bodies have made golf virtually unplayable for the average player due to the complex rules and equipment. LA GOLF is the only company with the technology and brand to make golf fun again for everyday players. In just a few years, LA GOLF has partnered with Bryson DeChambeau to develop the most innovative club face and shaft technology that cures the slice and the hook— something other companies have been promising for decades but have yet to deliver. LA GOLF was founded by Reed Dickens with a pro player, anti-establishment philosophy — the same playbook he used to make Marucci the most disruptive brand in baseball. “LA GOLF is ultimately a middle finger to the establishment who constantly tries to make golf more difficult and less fun. Simultaneously building a manufacturing company with innovative designs AND a global lifestyle brand with social currency is difficult, but damn are we having fun.” -Reed Dickens, LA GOLF Founder & CEO For more information on LA GOLF products, visit LAGOLF.com.

"EDGE Boost is revolutionizing responsible gaming, giving players the power to take full control of their betting finances like never before. Our innovative card and platform provide the tools needed to engage with gaming safely and sustainably. Operators can only see part of the picture when it comes to a bettor’s financial habits — EDGE Boost changes that by acting as an independent, all-encompassing solution to bridge this critical gap," said Seni Thomas, Founder and CEO of EDGE Boost. "With our team’s deep expertise across the betting industry and beyond, we're excited to deliver a responsible gaming solution that is already making an impact with bettors everywhere." Key features of EDGE Boost include the following: Personalized Spending Limit Suggestions – EDGE Boost will assess users’ cash flow and recommend tailored betting limits for each user to put into place for themselves.

No Minimum Balances or Maintenance Costs – EDGE Boost has no usage costs and only generates revenue when customers use the card. FDIC-Insured, Secure Platform – Accounts are FDIC-insured up to $250,000*, the first betting-only bank account to provide this level of security.

Kulp, Executive Director of the Sea Tow Foundation. “Mike Iaconelli’s message highlights how being a Sober Skipper allows him to go out and be successful at catching fish while ensuring the safety of everyone else on the water.” The Sea Tow Foundation has also created an Industry Toolkit to help businesses and organizations share the video series with their customers and members.

LOVER® Cosmetics founder Ashley Maurin Rodden demos the makeup line’s 5-step, simple-beauty makeup regime and magnetic palettes on NewBeauty Magazine’s TalkShop Live channel Tuesday, March 4 at 6:00 p.m. eastern. “After doing hundreds of makeovers, women kept repeating the same two complaints, ‘I don’t know how to do my makeup’, and ‘I don’t have time’. Our 5-step makeup regime and guide show women HOW to do their makeup and our 5-step palettes help women do their makeup fast,” said Rodden. LOVER Cosmetics placed first runner-up in Sept. at MakeupIn’s New York Beauty Tank Competition for its best-selling 5-step palettes and makeup classes. The line also serves as the makeup provider for the New York City Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, producing more than 1300 makeup kits for dancers and cheerleaders nationwide. The everyday woman can learn how to simplify her makeup routine, travel and touch ups from the safety of her own powder room on Tuesday. Paris-trained makeup artist Ashley Maurin Rodden is offering a quick, 5-step demo on TalkShopLive. Each palette also has a QR code on the bottom that takes women to a 5-step video. Palettes range from the smokey palette, to a very wearable nude shimmer palette, and the line’s best-selling matte palette that caters to a more mature client. “The four palettes are the colors that are most purchased and put together year after year in my studio. And, they are multifunctional! The taupe color in each is a double for a brow filler, the light shadow services as a highlighter. The wearer can actually use this one palette for a full face,” said Rodden. “Plus, the rectangular space can be used to store lashes, extra lipstick or foundation for a busy woman on the go or for travels.” Each of the palettes are made in the USA, vegan, paraben free, gluten free, EU complaint and cruelty free. The cosmetic line was started by Kansas City’s Ashley Maurin Rodden in 2006 and gained notoriety as the National Sponsor of Miss Teen USA. Rodden spent a summer interning at Chanel, Inc., in New York City and Rodden studied makeup artistry in Paris, France, at the renowned Christian Chauveau makeup school.

Mya was a typical 4-year-old who loved pink, princesses, and all things Disney. Mya’s (and her family’s) life changed on January 11, 2011, when they heard the words “Mya has cancer.” Mya was diagnosed with stage IV Neuroblastoma and was high-risk from the beginning. As scary as cancer was, nothing was going to change who this kid was. She was always known for her smile, kindness, generosity, and bravery. Mya fought long and hard over the next 6 years, never once believing that she couldn’t conquer cancer. Throughout her years, Mya left a lasting impression on all whom she encountered.
