(MONTREAL) – Fila Golf – the internationally recognized sportswear brand for men and women exclusively licensed in North America by Fersten Worldwide (FW) – announces that Golf4Her Brand ambassador Mallory Blackwelder will be outfitted in Fila Golf apparel while competing on the Symetra Tour.
Known for her starring turn on Golf Channel’s “Big Break Ireland,” Blackwelder was selected to be outfitted in Fila Golf by Golf4Her Founder Christina Thompson. A standout collegian at the University of Florida and the University of Kentucky,Blackwelder already has been spotted wearing the heritage brand’s pieces available on Golf4Her.com, like the best-sellingAthena Polo.
“I’m excited to be wearing Fila Golf this season because I believe the better you feel the better you play,” says Blackwelder. “The styles are feminine yet athletic and I really like that the fabrics don’t wrinkle. While traveling on Tour the last thing you want to do is iron your golf clothes!”

Fila Golf’s 2012 collection presents a range of tops, bottoms and outerwear all inspired by the iconic looks of ’50s prep school sport. The brand’s signature athletic-enhancing designs boast vintage touches like sweetheart necklines for women featured on the Savannah Polo, one of the styles Blackwelder will be sporting this season.
“Golf4Her has a devoted customer base of passionate golfers who have truly embraced Fila Golf’s comfortable materials and classic looks within a modern twist,” says Nancy Robitaille, principal designer. “Mallory’s on-course look perfectly reflects our smart, athletic and stylish brand image.”
