Camp Pendleton, CA (October 26, 2023) – For the 12th consecutive year, Semper Fi & America’s Fund (The Fund) is partnering with The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation (The Foundation) and PXG (Parsons Xtreme Golf) for the Double Down for Veterans match campaign. Through the end of the year, The Foundation, with support from PXG, will generously match up to $10 million in donations made to The Fund. If met, this match will bring support of The Fund from The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation and PXG to $100 million!

The Fund will celebrate its 20th anniversary this Spring. Since its inception in 2004, it has given more than $320 million in grants to support 31,000 combat-wounded, ill, and injured service members, veterans, and military families.

One service member, Marine Sergeant Gabe Martinez, lost both his legs when struck by an IED in Afghanistan. When Gabe returned home to be reunited with his wife of three months, Semper Fi & America’s Fund stepped in to help him overcome the challenges of returning to civilian life and managing his injury. With support from The Fund, Gabe was provided adaptive equipment that enabled him to embrace an active lifestyle, rock climbing and running marathons. Today, The Fund still stands by Gabe’s side, offering lifetime support for him and his family.

“Serving our service members, veterans, and military families for the past 19 years has been such an honor,” said Karen Guenther, President, CEO, and Founder of Semper Fi & America’s Fund. “I am so grateful to Bob and Renee Parsons for their unwavering support of our Nation’s heroes. Their generosity, through the Double Down for Veterans match campaign and beyond, has helped countless veterans achieve their highest level of independence and well-being.”

As many service members battle lifelong effects — physical, mental, and emotional — of combat-related injuries or illnesses, one of the critical characteristics of The Fund is lifelong support. The Fund accompanies service members and veterans through the highs and lows, with case managers to check in regularly and other support for as long as needed.

 “Transitioning away from military service, whether planned or unplanned due to injury, is never easy,” said Bob Parsons, Marine Corps Vietnam War Veteran, Co-Founder of The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation and Founder and CEO of PXG. “Often times these service men, women, and families are carrying both visible and invisible wounds that they’re unprepared to deal with. That’s where The Fund comes in, providing a unique level of support during their time of need.”

Parsons issued the Double Down for Veterans challenge via a moving video address in which he discusses his own personal challenge with PTSD.

Since it began in 2012, the Double Down for Veterans match campaign has raised $193 million thanks to the thousands of donors who, year after year, have looked forward to participating in the annual match from The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation and PXG. These funds have helped support 31,000 service members, veterans, and military families in The Fund’s care.

“Bob and I have a deep commitment to our military families – those who safeguard and preserve our Nation’s freedom,” said Renee Parsons, Co-founder of The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation and President and Executive Creative Director of PXG Apparel. “The Fund’s unique model of lifetime assistance ensures they always have the care and support they need.  And we are honored to partner, personally and through PXG, to provide the hope and unparalleled care they deserve.”

All donations can be made at thefund.org/donate.

About Semper Fi & America’s Fund:

Semper Fi & America’s Fund was started by military spouses, who immediately jumped in to provide bedside support to early wounded and injured service members from Iraq and Afghanistan. Those same military spouses run The Fund today and now include a patriotic staff of veterans, community members, and volunteers dedicated to providing hope, healing, and quality-of-life solutions through needs-based financial assistance, tailored support, and innovative programming.

Short game, short game, short game! Have you ever heard the saying, “drive for show, putt for dough”? Although hitting 300-yard drives down the fairway is part of the game we would all like to master, the real score-decipher happens on the green. We asked former PGA tour winner, Mike Nicolette, to share a couple of drills using alignment aids that can better your putting consistency and distance control.

WHY USE ALIGNMENT AIDS FOR PRACTICE?

Using alignment aids is a helpful and easy way to help your golf game improve in all aspects of the game. From full swing to putting, alignment sticks are universally used during practice sessions to better their alignment, swing technique, ball flight, etc. PXG will be the first to express the importance of golf-game improvement using alignment aids. Who wouldn’t want to improve on their golf game this summer?

Pick up a set of PXG alignment sticks on the PXG website or at a retail location near you.

WHY PRACTICE PUTTING?

Putting is the part of everyone’s golf game that can change their bogeys to pars and their pars to birdies. Strangely enough, putting is one of golf’s least practiced skill sets. Putting doesn’t have the excitement that driving or hitting irons bring, but it is one of the most sufficient ways to shave off strokes gained during a round. Former PGA Tour Pro and PXG Troop, Mike Nicolette, broke down a useful drill to help your putting game become more consistent.

PUTTING DRILL FOR CONSISTENCY

• This drill requires 3-5 balls
• Find a flat surface on the putting green (you can use this drill with right-to-left and left-to-right putts)
• Set up your station about 3-10ft from the hole
• Set two alignment aids parallel to each other facing the hole for alignment purposes about an inch wider than your putter head width apart
• Place your putter and ball in between the alignment sticks
• Align your feet and putter-head perpendicular to the alignment aids
• Keep the putter head “in the trough” as you practice these short putts
• Begin the putting drill and repeat to gain better putting consistency

PUTTING DRILL FOR DISTANCE CONTROL

• This drill requires 3-5 balls per station
• Find a flat surface on the putting green (you can use this drill with right-to-left and left-to-right putts)
• Place 3-5 balls at 10ft, 15ft, and 20ft
• Place alignment aids 2ft behind the hole
• Practice putting from each distance without going past the alignment aids
• Repeat the drill for better distance control

PXG is no stranger to perfecting the best custom golf equipment that money can buy. Not only is that at the forefront of the company’s priority list but creating helpful drills and practices that better a player’s game is an important focus within PXG. Head to the PXG website or a local PXG store near to pick up a set of alignment sticks to help with your game.

With the drop of the new PXG X Nick Jonas capsule collection, Nick Jonas fulfilled his dream of bringing together his passion for golf with his love of fashion. PXG was a natural fit for Nick to express his style. Together with his friend Renee Parsons, President and Executive Creative Director of PXG Apparel, Nick worked diligently alongside PXG’s design team to create a collection that truly expressed both his style and his devotion to the sport of golf. 

“I think one of the things I’m hoping to accomplish with this collaboration is just combining my love of golf and love of fashion in a really authentic way to me. The knit with this new kind of collar that we put together has a real Bond vibe to me, which I always love. It’s classic, but it feels edgy and kind of just fresh, something you can wear on the course, but obviously out for a night out as well.” – Nick Jonas 

A LOOK INTO THE PXG X NJ COLLABORATION 

Renee Parsons and Nick Jonas have known each other for the past several years and it only made sense that they combine their love for golf and fashion together and make a capsule collection that showcases both worlds. The PXG x NJ Collection features 15 apparel styles and nine accessories that will be available on PXG.com and in PXG stores. The first-ever PXG collaboration combines Nick and President and Executive Creative Director of PXG Apparel Renee Parsons’ vision to deliver a modern aesthetic with performance-driven material. The result is an assortment of bags, hats, socks, and slides, that have you covered from the first tee through last call.

PXG continuously works to innovate and engineer the best golf clubs on the market for players of all skill levels. Introducing new PXG 0317 ST Milled Blades. Inspired by our tour pros, these super tour blades are made for advanced amateurs and professional golfers who crave greater workability, enhanced control, and an exceptional feel. Available in both a chrome and Xtreme Dark finish, the new blade irons look stunning at address and sharpen your game with every shot.  

We teamed up with LPGA Tour Pro, Austin Ernst, to get an inside review on the new 0317 ST Milled Blade Irons and why she will be putting them in the bag. 

A Conventional Blade with So Much More 

PXG’s 0317 ST Milled Blade Irons are designed for highly skilled players looking to keep the unmatched feel of a blade while adding greater distance and more workability to control shot shaping.  

Blended Set Design 

The new set of irons is a blended set design, meaning the longer irons have a larger cavity back design. This typically makes the difficult long irons more forgiving, while the short irons deliver max control.  

Precision Milled Grooves 

Engineered for high spin rates that allow soft landing in fairways or on greens. 

3X Forged Body  

The forging process is made with 8260 Soft Carbon Steel that when developed, creates a tight grain structure that lengthens the life of the grooves, feel, and club-head.

When purchasing new clubs, many golfers know to get fitted for their driver, fairway woods and irons, but there’s a reason that golfing legend, Gary Player says that finding the putter that suits your eye, combined with a professional putter fitting is critical for your game. And it all begins with feel and confidence.  

Why a Putter Fitting Is So Important 

A custom fitted putter makes all the difference in your game. If you’re looking for the best new putter, or even just some golf swing tips, a fitting with PXG is a great place to start. Our experts will help you find the perfect club for your game, and your budget.

What Putter Does Gary Player Use?

Originally introduced in PXG’s earliest putter lineup, Dagger+ has been remastered to deliver complete control, featuring tungsten weighting, a refined alignment system, and our most advanced technology to-date. Named after a sword-like military weapon, Dagger+ is available in two fixed hosel options – heel shafted and center shafted. Its unique design presents a minimalist approach to the art of putting. 

What Putter Does Rachel Drummond Play? 

Rachel Drummond has the Battle Ready Closer Putter in the bag. This wide blade-style putter design features a sleek, MOI boosting body construction that delivers exceptional stability. A fully optimized face and defined bevels in the heel and toe help you lock in and close out on the green. The sole of the Closer features PXG’s iconic Darkness Insignia – a skull with the number 26. The insignia commemorates Bob Parsons’ service as a rifleman (0311) with the 26th Regiment of the United States Marine Corps during the Vietnam War.

PLAY WHAT THE PROS PLAY

The GEN5 Irons have made their way into each of our PGA and LPGA Tour Pros’ bags this year. Not only are the GEN5 Irons the sexiest-looking irons on the market, they also have outperformed the competitor models year-to-date.

The 5x forged GEN5 Irons are engineered with PXG’s latest and greatest technology. Starting with the behind-the-scenes advancements, PXG has created an all-new polymer core that is featured in all GEN5 Iron models. The XCOR2 technology helps reduce the mass of the core which enables more weight to be positioned low and to the perimeter of the club head, creating unmatched forgiveness, increased face deflection, and maximum ball speed.

PXG also introduces a new Power Channel Technology that consists of a u-shaped corridor built into the inside face of the club to help increase deflection and bend while simultaneously creating better launch angles, trajectory, and ball speed. The Power Channel Technology is paired with the thinnest face in golf, which helps overall feel and mishits off the face. The GEN5 Irons include 5 tungsten weights with one adjustable large weight placed in the center of the club head to achieve the best weight for your swing.

WANT TO EXPERIENCE THE GEN5 MOVEMENT FOR YOURSELF?

Head to a PXG location near you and book a one-on-one fitting with a PXG professional and get firsthand experience with the GEN5 irons.Additionally, if you would prefer to be fitted over the phone or would like help finding the best fitting location for you, simply call the PXG Fitting Department at 1.844.FIT.4PXG.

TAKE A LOOK AT EACH NEW PUTTER MODEL

DAGGER+

Our Dagger+ is a remastered blade-style putter with zero offset. This model is suited for players who are looking for a traditional blade putter with complete control. Our Dagger+ is equipped with high-density tungsten weights that allow the center of gravity (CG) to be moved away from the shaft axis, causing greater face stability and higher moment of inertia (MOI). This model is designed with two centered dots with parallel sight lines to help frame the golf ball at set-up. The face of the putter uses PXG’s Pyramid Face Pattern technology which helps the overall roll and performance of the Dagger+

Dagger+ is available in two fixed hosel options: Center-shaft and Heel-shaft

HERCULES

Our Hercules is a traditional mid-sized mallet putter for players who want the best of both worlds of a blade and mallet-style model. Our Hercules is designed with high-density tungsten which helps shift the weight away from the shaft axis, creating a stable putting stroke through impact. For better alignment,  Hercules comes with a long flange sightline which will help position the ball at its address. Like all Battle Ready Putters, Hercules comes with PXG’s Pyramid Face Pattern design that helps the overall performance and roll with each putter stroke.

Hercules is available in all Battle Ready hosel models

RAPTOR

Our Raptor is PXG’s 100% milled mallet-style putter that is designed with high-density tungsten located in the rear of the putter head to maximize stability and center of gravity. This model is geared with a contrasting front-to-back alignment stripe that helps place the ball at the center of the clubface through impact.
