Paul LeVie wins Bionic® gloves dream trip to the 2014 PGA Championship
LOUISVILLE, KY (July 29, 2014) – Golf fan Paul LeVie of Hartford, Conn., now loves Bionic Gloves for more than his trusty StableGrip® golf glove. LeVie has won a trip to Louisville, Ky., where he will attend the 2014 PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club, complete with access to the Wanamaker Tent, on behalf of Bionic. LeVie was randomly drawn from Facebook and mail-in entries in Bionic’s “Dream Trip to the 2014 PGA Championship” giveaway.
“Bionic is excited to have the PGA Championship back in Louisville for the first time in 14 years, and we wanted to get our fans involved with this great event,” said Cheryl Fink, director of marketing for Bionic Gloves. “Kentucky is a huge golf state, with several past PGA champs and 282 PGA members. We’re so glad Paul gets to experience all of this on behalf of Bionic.”
Though he admits that life often gets in the way of his game, LeVie has played and loved golf for more than 30 years. He’s a consistent player at his local course and is a loyal user of Bionic Gloves.
“My StableGrip is different than any other glove I’ve used,” he said, “The pads give me a snug and comfortable grip. The club never shifts or slides around in my hand when I’m swinging, and I never have to adjust my glove between shots.”
Paul and his wife, Karen, will arrive in Louisville on Friday, Aug. 8, for their first trip to the Bluegrass State in more than 12 years. The couple is eager to see the city – as well as the tournament – and plans to tour many historical Louisville landmarks during the visit, including the Louisville Slugger® Museum and Factory.
