(Markham, Ontario) – Trend-setting performance apparel designer Ralph Dunning and his company, Dunning Golf, have hired Sean Joyce as Sales Representative for the Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin territory to help service rapidly expanding demand.
A graduate of the University of Illinois, Joyce has worked in the Midwest the past 10 years and currently serves as an award-winning representative for such high-profile brands as ECCO, Marbus and Nickent. A proactive, results-oriented sales executive with strong ties to the area, he will be tasked with expanding Dunning Golf’s existing green grass account base and enhancing already strong customer service.
"Sean’s long-standing relationships with key accounts and PGA professionals, passion for the industry and wealth of experience with premium brands make him the ideal representative to this golf-rich area," says Ralph Dunning.
"Ralph Dunning has designed the next generation golf performance line, similar to the evolution in cotton from pima to mercerized," adds Joyce. "Dunning Golf has moved performance wear from basic performance to permanent performance."
Dunning Golf is worn in competition by the company’s elite PGA Tour staff that includes Zach Johnson, John Senden, Craig Barlow, Bob Estes, Brian Gay and Bob Burns, among others. All Dunning Golf pieces incorporate the company’s proprietary fabric technologies and feature golf-specific cuts for freedom of movement throughout all phases of the swing.
The only golf brand to exclusively use premium technical fabrics in each of its pieces, Dunning Golf’s Spring 2007 collection features compression undergarments, polos, mock necks, shorts, pants, pullovers, thermal tops, outerwear and rainwear. It includes performance characteristics such as increased airflow, moisture wicking, enhanced breath ability, UV protection and permanent moisture management.
Dunning Golf performance apparel is available at the finest on- and off-course shops throughout North America. The complete Spring 2007 collection retails from $35 for select undergarments to $199 for some outerwear. Shipping to retailers will commence January 2007 and conclude March 1.
