Louisville, KY (September 4, 2012) – Several golfers who love Bionic Gloves have become even bigger Bionic fans after visiting Louisville and playing on Fuzzy Zoeller’s Covered Bridge Golf Course in Sellersburg, Ind.
Two store customers and two Edwin Watts Golf store employees were the lucky winners of Bionic’s “Get the Grip” contest, held earlier this summer from May 1 through June 16. The prize was a weekend getaway to Louisville, which included round-trip airfare, a two-night’s stay at Louisville’s renowned Galt House Hotel, a round of golf each at Covered Bridge and a V.I.P. tour of Bionic’s headquarters and the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory.
“I had a great time these past couple days with Bionic Gloves in Louisville. They took great care of us, and I had a blast playing a round of golf on one of Fuzzy Zoeller’s courses,” said Nate Boggs, an Edwin Watts Golf employee and one of the contest winners. “Bionic really is the best glove for your golf game.”
Earl Mayo, another contest winner, agreed with Nate: “I definitely noticed a more relaxed grip during our round at Covered Bridge, due to my high-tech Bionic Glove. We had a great time playing on Fuzzy’s course!”
“It was great to host the four winners here in Louisville this past weekend,” said John Ballback, Bionic’s National Sales Manager. “Being able to educate golf enthusiasts from around the country about our gloves and their patented technology was a unique experience. Plus, hearing feedback from guys like Nate, who sell our products every day in their stores, is always helpful.”
Recently, an independent research study was conducted with avid golfers at the renowned Pinehurst Golf Academy to test their durability and grip. The result showed that Bionic gloves are 2X as durable and also retain gripping power for a far longer time period.
Bionic gloves are available online at bionicgloves.com and at select retailers.
