LOUISVILLE, KY (October 2014) – Bionic Gloves, maker of the most technologically advanced golf gloves on the market, announces its renewed agreement with the Locker Room Managers Association (LRMA). The organization named Bionic’s RelaxGrip™ glove – the Black Palm glove (for men) and Caramel Palm glove (for women) – as the LRMA’s official glove.
The LRMA was founded in 1999 by Todd Dufek, a locker room manager of 27 years. LRMA members are dedicated to providing top-notch customer and shoe service to guests of their locker rooms and to bringing in innovative amenities and services that other clubs don’t know about.
Dufek said, “I’ve worn and performance-tested different brands of gloves, and there’s no question in my mind that Bionic has the best line of golf gloves currently on the market. The LRMA is proud to call the RelaxGrip Bionic Golf Glove ‘The Official Golf Glove of the Locker Room Managers Association.'”
“We’re honored to be associated with the LRMA. Every day they are face-to-face helping their members with their golfing needs. Being endorsed by this organization makes a huge statement about the quality and performance of Bionic gloves,” said Cheryl Fink, Director of Marketing for Bionic.
Dufek stresses that in addition to LRMA’s commitment to premium customer experience, the organization remains dedicated to helping those in need. The LRMA has donated dozens of Bionic golf gloves to The First Tee organization, a top youth development program based in Phoenix which teaches life skills and leadership through golf. Also, a percentage of each member’s annual dues goes to veterans’ service organizations in order to meet the needs of veterans who have sustained severe injuries in conflicts around the world.
