MONTREAL, QC. – Sunice®-which showcases golfwear that embodies the perfect fusion of science and fashion-forward style-announced today that 2011 U.S. Solheim Cup Team captain Rosie Jones will make an appearance at the company’s booth at the upcoming PGA Merchandise Show, January 27-29, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando.
