Farmingdale, NY – GustBuster®, the World’s Smartest UmbrellaTM, announced today that it has been selected to provide umbrellas for The 2011 Solheim Cup and will produce special, Team USA and Team Europe umbrellas for the competition, taking place September 23rd-25th at Killeen Castle, in Ireland.
“Ireland is well known for its wind and rain,” said Steve Asman, President of GustBuster Umbrellas. “But inclement weather won’t stop the Solheim Cup, so it’s important that these ladies be protected from the elements as they represent their countries in this prestigious international competition. The only way to do that is with a GustBuster.”
“We’re also excited that these are the first umbrellas coming out of our new manufacturing facility overseas,” continued Asman. “This new facility will allow us to increase production and catch up on our back orders so we can get back to the high level of customer service that GustBuster has always been known for.”
About The Solheim Cup
The Solheim Cup is named in honor of Karsten Solheim, the founder of Karsten Manufacturing Corporation, which makes PING golf equipment. In 1990, the Solheim family, in conjunction with the LPGA and the LET, developed the concept and became the title sponsor for The Solheim Cup, professional golf’s international match-play competition for women.
Held every two years, the event has grown into the most prestigious international women’s professional golf team event. The Solheim Cup is the most highly coveted trophy in women’s professional golf team competition; some of the most memorable moments in women’s golf have happened during one of The Solheim Cups. It is a biennial, trans-Atlantic team match-play competition featuring the best U.S.-born players from the LPGA Tour and the best European-born players from the Ladies European Tour. The U.S. Team leads the competition, 8-3; all three losses have taken place on European soil. In addition to founding sponsor PING, Global Partners of The Solheim Cup include Golf Ireland and Rolex.
