Naples,
FL. - November 12, 2003 - With a year-round golf
season and plenty of travel, PGA Tour professionals
know how good it feels to see family, friends and loved
ones.
As
a special gift from Franklin Templeton Shootout tournament
hosts Laura and Greg Norman, each member of the 24-man
field received a set of Beamers -- the award-winning
videophone that instantly adds live, color motion video
to your phone calls.
Beamer works with your home phone, over any regular
phone line, so seeing friends and family is as easy
as calling them. There is no special equipment or wiring;
no service fees, contracts or subscriptions -- and no
additional charge to the call. Plus, the Start/Views
button gives you complete control of when the video
feature is on or off, ensuring your privacy.
So even if you're a high handicapper, you still can
see friends and family just like the pros with Beamer
Videophone from Vialta. To learn more about Vialta's
entire videophone line, visit www.vialta.com.
The Franklin Templeton Shootout was founded in 1989
as a result of Laura and Greg Norman's desire to raise
money and awareness for children's charities and create
a unique experience for PGA Tour players. The 15th annual
event again will donate a significant portion of the
proceeds to the National Childhood Cancer Foundation
to assist its battle against this terrible disease.
