Alberta, Canada. Longball Athletics is pleased to announce that Jeff Flagg, 2014 RE/MAX World Long Drive Champion will be making a guest appearance at Longball’s booth #4080 on January 27th & 28th at this year’s PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando.
Jeff Flagg who joined the Longball Team in 2015 will be spending his time at the PGA Merchandise Show with Longball to support the brand’s United States launch for the brand.
Jared Wood, one of the co-owners of Longball, said Flagg’s values and goals are in tune with Longball, and is excited to see the energy and exposure Flagg can bring Longball.
“This is a very exciting time for Longball, having Flagg apart of the brand and to support the launch this coming week couldn’t be better timing,” Wood said.
Outside of golf, Flagg lives the Longball lifestyle, dedicating himself to the sport but still enjoying life and getting the most out of his experiences.
About Jeff Flagg
Flagg is a tremendous athlete who was a star baseball player at Mississippi State University before being drafted by the New York Mets in the 27th round in the 2008 MLB Draft. He found success, being named an all-star twice as well as the 2009 Mets Minor League Player of the Year, then was a two-time all-star while playing Independent ball. However, he decided to pursue something in another sport.
After retiring from baseball, Flagg picked up golf, and more specifically, Long Driving. By 2013, he was competing in the World Long Drive Competitions. Golf was always a passion of his, but a baseball career doesn’t allow much time for practicing other sports. He knew he wanted to pick another where he could mash, and the Long Drive competitions were the perfect target.
About Longball Athletics
Longball was created by three Canadian golfers passionate about the game of golf and the lifestyle that goes along with it. They were out of university, working full time and looking for a way to stay connected with the sport while supporting one of their long times friends who was turning professional. With the baby boomers retiring, the Longball founders noticed a gap in the industry where there was a strong need for a young, fun brand that was developed by the player for the player.
