Imperial to outfit the Palmer Cup teams with uniform headwear
DENVER, April 2009 – Imperial Headwear (www.ImperialHeadwear.com), the leading global manufacturer of premium quality, active lifestyle headwear, is partnering with the Golf Coaches Association of America (“GCAA”) as the official headwear provider for the upcoming Palmer Cup to be held at Cherry Hills Country Club in Denver, Colorado.
Imperial will outfit both the American and European playing squads and their coaches with uniform headwear coordinated with their apparel. To celebrate the event, Imperial has created a limited edition replica of the visor Arnold Palmer wore during his thrilling victory at the 1960 U.S. Open, also held at Cherry Hills. Members of the Palmer Cup teams will be presented with an exact replica visor, autographed by Mr. Palmer, at the event.
“Our relationship with the GCAA and Cherry Hills Country Club make this a unique opportunity to support the game here in our own backyard,” said Rick White, President and CEO of Imperial Headwear. “We anticipate a bright future for the student athletes participating in the event.”
“The GCAA and Palmer Cup are very pleased to partner with Imperial Headwear as its official headwear provider,” said Gregg Grost, CEO of the GCAA. “Imperial is a perfect fit with Arnold Palmer, Cherry Hills Country Club and the best players in college golf.”
The annual Ryder Cup-style event will pit the finest American collegiate players against their European counterparts, June 3-5, 2009. To date, the United States leads the all-time Palmer Cup series 6-5-1.
