Las Vegas (October 18, 2010) – Dawgs Golf (www.dawgsgolf.com), a superior line of advanced-technology super-lightweight golf footwear, is a participating sponsor of the New England Intercollegiate Golf Association (NEIGA) 2010 Fall Tournament. The event, now in its 76th year, is being competed Oct. 17-19 at the Captains Golf Course in Brewster, Mass., and includes 37 participating men’s college golf teams.
“Dawgs Golf is pleased to help sponsor this exciting event that has such a proud history,” said Steve Mann, founder, president and CEO of Dawgs Golf.
Each coach of a competing team will receive a pair of Dawgs shoes of his choice, from a selection including Dawgs Golf footwear and Dawgs casual footwear. Dawgs Golf Spirit and Dawgs Golf Ultralite shoes are known as ‘The World’s Lightest Golf Shoes’.
“It is a pleasure to welcome Dawgs Golf footwear to our tournament,” said George Jacobson, executive director of the NEIGA. “We appreciate the company’s support and the beginning of such a worthwhile partnership.”

About Dawgs Golf
Dawgs Golf (www.dawgsgolf.com) , a division of USA Dawgs, Inc., was formed last year to extend its premium footwear lines into the golf arena, to meet the needs of players for lightweight shoes that offer all the comfort, style and affordability for which Dawgs are known. Dawgs footwear collections are available in select pro shops, green-grass retailers, sporting-goods stores and other golf retail outlets around the country.
In addition to its Golf Spirit and Ultralite Golf Spirit shoes, Dawgs Golf offers its entire line of high-comfort ultra-soft men’s and women’s Firestone-licensed work shoes for grounds- and greenskeepers. For kitchen, restaurant and clubhouse workers, Dawgs Golf offers its line of extreme-comfort slip-resistant Tracker series of work shoes, including the Tracker Pro and the Ultralite Tracker.
Dawgs Golf Spirit Shoes combine style and function with EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate, or closed cell resin), creating “The World’s Lightest Golf Shoe”, weighing in at 7 ounces for men’s size 9 Spirits and 5 ounces for women’s size 7 Spirits. Yet the Spirit does not sacrifice weight for comfort. Rather, the built-in properties of high-quality EVA act as a shock absorber for the feet. The Golf Spirit has nine strategically-placed molded rubber spikes embedded in a rubber/EVA outsole for surefooted play, confidence and performance. The handsome Spirit shoe is available in six color combinations. Additional features of the Spirit include an adjustable Velcro strap and ventilation holes for cool comfort. The lightweight Spirit is a convenient golf shoe for travel. Due to the success of the men’s and women’s Golf Spirit, Dawgs Golf also offers the boys’ and girls’ Golf Spirit in popular colors.
Dawgs Ultralite Golf Shoes offer features including: extremely light-weight construction; rubber outsole with molded rubber spikes; non-marking; extra-comfort antimicrobial insole; low heel impact; adjustable Velcro strap; arch support; will work with orthotics; ultra soft; super lightweight; easy to clean; and individually boxed with carry handle. Dawgs Ultralite Golf Shoes are available in a variety of colors and sizes for both men and women.
In addition to the Dawgs Golf Spirit Shoes and the Dawgs Ultralite Golf Shoes, the comprehensive lines offered by Dawgs include casual footwear for golfers to wear before and after their rounds. Men’s and women’s Spirits (without spikes), men’s and women’s Flip Flops, men’s and women’s slides, women’s “Z” sandals and women’s 3-straps comprise the variety of selections. All feature great comfort and style.
The original Dawgs company, Double Diamond Distribution, Ltd., was formed in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, in 2005 by Steve Mann and, in 2006, USA Dawgs, Inc. was formed. The concept was then and remains today to provide comfortable, lightweight, affordable performance-based shoes to suit a wide variety of needs. Dawgs Golf shoes carry this tradition to the golf course.
As always, Dawgs are a ‘foot’s best friend’ and Dawgs Golf shoes are a ‘golfer’s best friend.’
