(OCEANSIDE, CA) – LINKSOUL and LINKSOUL CLUB by John Ashworth & Co. – a new golf-lifestyle apparel line and the custom-branded collection formerly known as Pima Direct – will exhibit at the 2012 PGA Merchandise Show in meeting rooms W209B and C, Jan. 26-28 in Orlando, FL.
Under the design direction of John Ashworth – acclaimed founder of the Ashworth and Fidra brands – LINKSOUL and LINKSOUL CLUB are crafted exclusively for discerning specialty golf merchandisers and their customers. In August 2011, Ashworth merged Linksoul with Pima Direct LLC.
“These are complimentary lines connected by a belief that specialty retailers need to offer superb products which can’t be found on discount racks or in the big box retailers on every corner,” says company CEO Mark Killeen. “A palpable excitement surrounds John’s latest creations and we know an even greater surge will occur once buyers meet with us at the Show.”
Crafted from the finest quality fabrics, LINKSOUL is a stylish collection ideal for men seeking an alternative to “golf uniform” technical pieces. Each relaxed-yet-sophisticated garment resists wrinkling, shrinking, fading and pilling while featuring precise detailing and subtle colors suitable for the golf club and everyday life.
“We want to help promote the game in a more eclectic, artful and unexpected way,” says Ashworth. “Golf is about recreation and camaraderie, and these clothes embody that spirit and philosophy.”
Operating since 2005 as Pima Direct, LINKSOUL CLUB provides premium apparel completely customized to a club or resort through course branding on hang tags and labels. This results in a unique look, unprecedented value and industry-best margins. With nearly 2,000 accounts worldwide – including scores of Ryder Cup, major championship and PGA Tour event sites – the company has experienced strong double-digit growth each of the past five years.
