PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., August 8, 2007 – ProQuip, one of the world’s leading golf weatherwear manufacturers, has teamed with the Executive Women’s Golf Association (EWGA) to become the EWGA official weatherwear provider, providing its members with EWGA logo wet-weather and wind clothing.
The company participated in the ‘EWGA at the U.S. Women’s Open’ charity event held in Pinehurst, N.C. in late June and will feature its complete line at the EWGA conference in Amelia Island, Fla. on October 31 through November 3. The first place winners in the EWGA Championship Finals, to be held in Old Hickory, Tennessee on September 7 and 8 and considered the world’s largest amateur women’s golf competition, each will receive a ProQuip rain suit as part of their prize.
ProQuip offers Ladies Ultralite waterproofs and Silk Touch wind jackets in an array of fashion colors. They are the only weatherwear company to offer rain suit pants in three different inseams for their men’s and women’s lines. The company was recently named the official weatherwear provider for The 2007 United States Solheim Cup Team.
"Providing both function and fashion, ProQuip’s weatherwear will certainly be a hit with EWGA members. So many of our women are avid golfers that play in all types of weather," says Pam Swensen, the chief executive officer of the EWGA. "ProQuip’s innovative lightweight breathable waterproofs will keep our members comfortable and on the golf course longer. The choice of pants length will appeal to women of all body styles."
Based in the historic golfing town of North Berwick in Scotland, ProQuip is synonymous with ultra-lightweight and supremely soft waterproof-breathable golf clothing. Since 1981 when the company was founded, they have been selected by 17 of the 26 Ryder Cup captains (both European and U.S. teams) to keep their players comfortable and dry. The company’s American operation, ProQuip USA, is based in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. See www.proquipusa.net
"We are pleased to provide EWGA logo weatherwear," says ProQuip USA President Randy Payne. "The association brings more women into the game and their members are very loyal consumers, supporting the brands that partner with the EWGA."
Founded in 1991, the EWGA provides opportunities for women to learn, play, and enjoy the game of golf for business and for life. There are currently over 120 chapters throughout the United States and Canada. A chapter in Paris France opened in June.
EWGA chapters offer a wide range of golf, social and networking activities for both new and experienced golfers. The EWGA is headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. For more information about the association and membership, visit www.ewga.com.
