SOUTHLAKE, TX – Gorilla Gold has renewed its sponsorship of the RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship, Long Drivers of America (LDA) announced today.
This marks the fifth consecutive year of Gorilla Gold’s affiliation with the premier event in power golf.
"We appreciate Gorilla Gold’s ongoing commitment to long drive and its support as the official grip enhancer of LDA-sanctioned events," said Art Sellinger, chief executive officer. "It’s imperative in our sport, where elite competitors are swinging their drivers in excess of 140mph, to maintain complete control of the club.
"Gorilla Gold’s litte towel eliminates slippage and maximizes feel," added Sellinger. "Those two factors are imperative for posting huge numbers."
"Of all our promotional involvements, no one takes better care of us than Art Sellinger and the LDA," said Pat Dugan, president of Gorilla Gold. "We’re in our fifth year with the RE/MAX Championship, and each year is more productive than the last in establishing our product as an important tool in the game."
The $500,000 RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship takes place on October 24-28 at The Palms GC in Mesquite, Nevada. An international field of 270-plus long drive specialists will compete for world titles in four divisions – open, women, senior and super senior.
Information on the tournament, including qualifying dates and sites, is available at www.longdrivers.com
