RICHMOND, Va., AUG. 15, 2012 – Bag Boy has been named the presenting sponsor of Symetra Tour’s Eagle Classic at Richmond Country Club in Richmond, Va. The 54-hole event will be contested Aug. 17-19. The Symetra Tour is the development tour of the LPGA. Bag Boy will use its sponsorship this week to promote its popular product line of push carts, golf bags and travel covers.
“It is very exciting to have women’s professional golf played in our backyard,” said Craig Ramsbottom, President of Dynamic Brands. “The community has really rallied behind the tournament and I expect attendance to be strong again this year. We are proud to be part of the tournament and to help a wonderful charity such as Food More, which will benefit from the tournament’s proceeds. Food More does an outstanding job in providing relief for the hungry in Central Virginia.”
As presenting sponsor Bag Boy along with Symetra Tour players will do in-store appearances at local retail stores this week, promoting its product line and the Eagle Classic. Golf Digest recently awarded Bag Boy two Gold Medals on its Push Cart Hot List for the Quad, a lightweight four-wheeled push cart, and the TriSwivel, a three-wheeled push cart with a front wheel that swivels 360 degrees. Bag Boy’s Revolver cart bag has also received recognition on the Golf Bag Hot List receiving a silver medal.
“Bag Boy has a deep history in golf, their location in Richmond and their passion for creating innovative, quality golf products makes them a perfect partner for the Eagle Classic,” shared Zayra Calderon, CEO of the LPGA Futures Tour. “We are pleased to have them as a presenting sponsor and thank them for helping us continue to provide an outstanding experience for all the fans attending the Eagle Classic.”
The Eagle Classic is part of the home stretch of the SymetraTour’s “Race for the Card,” which spotlights the movement on the Tour’s 2012 season money list as players jockey for position among the top-10 money winners. Players finishing in the top 10 at the conclusion of the tournament season will earn membership on the 2013 LPGA Tour.
