FRANKLIN, PA. – October 15, 2007- The Sizemore Collection, a boutique putter company developed to support the inspirations of master craftsman and Chief Designer Bruce Sizemore Jr., announced today that the company will have a noteworthy presence at the upcoming Hana Bank KOLON Championship in South Korea.
According to Sizemore, Korea is becoming a major influence in the golf market and a burgeoning region for the distribution of The Sizemore Collection. The Hana Bank KOLON Championship provides the executive team at the Sizemore Collection an opportunity to work directly with the Korean golfing professionals playing the Sizemore Putters as well as the chance to interact with key Korean retailers.
The Hana KOLON Bank Championship is held from October 19th through October 21st at the Mauna Ocean Golf & Resort. It is comprised of 69 of the top LPGA players which 21 are directly from South Korea. It is an event that is co-sanctioned by the KLPGA (LPGA of Korea) and the LPGA. Total earnings or purse provided is $1.5 million dollars — $220,000 is slated for the winner. This event is the first of three LPGA tournaments in Asia.
"Collectively the Korean golf market with its consistent growth can be contributed largely in part to their professional women golfers. Their worldwide presence is seen internationally every week on both the KLPGA and LPGA. This media attention is driving the Korean golfing public," stated Sizemore.
Understanding the importance of this region, The Sizemore Collection entered a distribution deal with Crospete Sports, a company that has represented and serviced the retailers of Korea for generations. The family continues to be one of the most influential distributors in Korea. The company prides itself on its own original designs and manufacturing capabilities but discovering new and innovative products that Korean golfers will enjoy is their essential intention.
"We’re confident this venture will be successful. Scott Kim President of Crospete Sports has vested time, money, and staff to ensure it," adds Sizemore.
The Sizemore Collection was launched to support Sizemore’s inspirations, to allow him the creative freedom to design putters that demonstratively outperform any other putter on the market and Sizemore’s visions became a reality. Within two years, he designed a patented cross-milled IND-Xâ?¢ face finish, an alignment and weighting management technology AIMâ?¢, and four exceptional putters; the XM-1, XM-2, XB-1 and the
XB-2.
Modern golf has evolved into a fascinating sport, where subtle nuances in materials and construction can dramatically fine-tune a player’s game. Scientific research has introduced exciting, cutting-edge technologies into the game. And, when infused with the rich experience of a professional like Bruce Sizemore, Jr., its designs become a truly exceptional force, case in point, the Sizemore XM-2 fully customizable putter.
Domestically, the entire putter line of the Sizemore Collection is available at discriminating retailers; Edwin Watts, Roger Dunn, PGA Superstores, and more. Their two flagship putters the Sizemore XM-2 with its fully interchangeable options and the traditionally redesigned Sizemore XB-1 will be a driving force behind the entire line. Each is a categorical leader that will appeal to a specific golfer.
