Boston, Massachusetts, November 10, 2006, – PUMA introduces the perfect companion for the golfer on-the-go: the PUMA Travel Golf Collection. Consisting of the lightest, most-versatile products, the collection is designed to offer unique and convenient travel solutions for carrying all the necessary essentials for a day on the links and beyond. Your favorite set of clubs, golf shoes and apparel – and anything else needed for a trip – are all packed together in one stream-lined, ready-to-go bag.
"It needed to be done," said Antonio Bertone, Global Director of Brand Management, PUMA AG. "PUMA’s Travel Golf concept is about making people’s lives easier. We wanted to target areas of the golf world that PUMA consumers are interested in. These products are designed help them fulfill their ‘play the world’ approach to the sport."
Whether traveling for business or pleasure, struggling with heavy golf gear on the road is par for the course. The PUMA Travel Golf collection ensures that bulky, cumbersome clubs and bags overflowing with golf attire are now a thing of the past.
The PUMA Travel Golf Collection
The Golf Travel Bag fits a full set of clubs – safely protecting them during travel. A removable garment bag zips easily in and out of the bag, spacious enough to hold a full range of golf clothing and golf shoes. This clever and convenient item holds everything you need to make your mark on and off the course.
The men and women’s clothing, accessories, and footwear in the Travel Golf collection are a match born of style and function. Whether a scratch golfer or a Sunday hacker, all eyes will be on you at the airport, on the course and at the club after the game. Lightweight apparel made from state-of-the art fabrics are wrinkle-resistant, breathable and quick to dry, yet stylish – allowing for easy transition on and off the course. The performance based, but stylish collection, is versatile enough to be worn from the first tee to dinner after the round.
