PeakVision Sports Contributes High-Performance Eyewear to George Lopez, David Feherty Foundation ‘Anti-Pro-Am’

November 11th, 2005

(OVERLAND PARK, Kansas) – PeakVision Sports today announces its patented Dual-Zone technology, 100-percent distortion-free golf sunglasses have been selected as the eyewear of the George Lopez, David Feherty Foundation Anti-Pro-Am held November 14 at Vaquero Golf Club in Dallas.

Hosted by comedian/actor George Lopez and author, on-air talent, and golf commentator David Feherty, the first annual Anti-Pro-Am will benefit the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, the SpiritHorse Therapeutic Riding Center and the Lopez-Feherty Initiative for educational and mentoring programs for Latino students in the United States.

Celebrity and professional commitments to date include: Justin Leonard, Lee Trevino, Andy Garcia, Oscar De La Hoya, Cheech Marin, Maury Povich, Barry Melrose, Kenny G, Peter Kostis, Lanny Wadkins, Peter Oosterhuis, Gary McCord, Todd Hamilton, Harrison Frazar, Brandt Jobe.

The field is limited to 12 teams comprised of two amateur players, one renowned tour pro-fessional and a celebrity from stage, screen or sports. “Special” promises from Lopez and Feherty include: no round lasting longer than four hours; for a change, dinner will be edible and the wine will be excellent; and participants will receive a ridiculously extravagant gift as a token of their appreciation.

Limousine service will be provided for participants to and from their locales. And for a grand finale, Lopez will deliver an up-close-and-personal stand-up routine that is sure to bring the house down.

“This feels like a dream come true for George and me. Maybe because it is,” says Feherty. “We are deeply grateful for all the assistance we’ve received in staging this first edition of the Lopez-Feherty Foundation Anti-Pro-Am, and we thank our generous participants and wonderful host, Vaquero Golf Club, many times over. Did we mention PeakVision?”

An assortment of PeakVision Sports’ amazing golf sunglasses will be donated as tee gifts to all participants, including the popular Chip, Classic, Neva, Cyber, Slam & Shot models. Gift bags will also contain Xikar cigar cutters – the world’s best – and select, top-shelf stogies.

In addition to Feherty and event participants, PeakVision’s competitive advantages are enjoyed by PGA TOUR players Billy Andrade and Scott McCarron, Champions Tour-great Bruce Fleisher, and professional players and caddies from a wide array of professional and amateur tours. These golfers have unequivocally embraced PeakVision Sports sunglasses as a valuable component in their equipment arsenal.

The Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children is one of the nation's leading pediatric centers for the treatment of orthopedic conditions, certain related neurological disorders and learning disorders, like dyslexia. It provides ongoing care for more than 14,000 children each year, and there is no charge for treatment. The SpiritHorse Therapeutic Riding Center in Corinth, Texas, improves the lives of disabled, abused and at-risk kids by interaction with horses. It is the only such free facility in the U.S.

The first major innovation in golfer-sunglass technology in more than 40 years, PeakVision Sports’ high-performance eyewear represents a radical step in optical design and manufacturing. The vast majority of sunglasses since the 1960s have had single-filter, polycarbonate lenses incapable of properly distinguishing between the bright hues of the horizon and sky and the dark hues of terrain and landscape.

A paradigm-shifting breakthrough in sunglass design, PeakVision’s innovative Dual-Zone lenses feature neutral-density gray tinting in the upper zone that reduces glare and allows for accurate distance perception.  The amber-tuned color in the lower zone highlights the contours of the green for better reads of putts than with the naked eye.  Incorporating these two filters into one lens allows golfers to clearly distinguish between the turf and the sky to create optimal visual acuity.

The material used in PeakVision Sports lenses is a revolutionary optical polymer that offers superior optical clarity and uniformity, scratch resistance, durability and ultra-light weight compared to polycarbonate.  This material is the latest technology, originally developed for the windscreens in military helicopters. PeakVision eyewear also provides 100 percent UV400 protection from the entire spectrum of dangerous UV radiation

PeakVision Sports eyewear recently was rated superior to other leading sunglass brands in a scientific study conducted by noted optometrist Dr. Craig Farnsworth. Farnsworth – a developmental optometrist known as the “Putt Doctor” for his work with over 60 PGA TOUR players – compared high performance eyewear manufacturers across nine key categories. PeakVision received the highest rating in eight of the nine areas of evaluation.
