(Markham, Ontario) – Trend-setting performance apparel designer Ralph Dunning and his company, Dunning Golf, announce that Bob Estes finished second at the Reno-Tahoe Open this past weekend at Montrêux Golf and Country Club in Reno, Nevada. He was joined on the leaderboard by fellow staff players Craig Barlow and Brian Gay, who both finished tied for 21st.
The 40-year-old Estes wore Dunning Golf’s Coolmax Channel Tone Stripe Polo to protect him from the sun, increase airflow and wick moisture away from his body to help keep his core temperature stable in the 90 degree heat.
