AHEAD and Golfoholics™ Kick Off Partnership with New Headwear Collection
A Badge of Honor for the Golf-Obsessed
AHEAD and Golfoholics have formed an exclusive partnership to launch a line of headwear, apparel and other branded merchandise featuring Golfoholics’ distinctive tee and olive logo. Together, they will cater to Golfoholics rapidly growing following of golf addicts.
The initial headwear collection includes Golfoholics Xtra-Dry performance caps in navy, khaki and red, and Golfoholics Light-Cotton caps in white and sky. Each hat retails for $28 at www.golfoholics.com and www.aheadusashop.com/collections/golfoholics.
AHEAD caps are renowned for their fit and style, and are worn exclusively by golf legends Jack Nicklaus and Annika Sorenstam, PGA Tour player Jim Furyk and the LPGA’s Brittany Lincicome.
With a following of more than 70,000 already, Golfoholics plans to build the world’s largest golf community by serving up irreverent content, memorable experiences, exclusive offers and branded merchandise, including the new AHEAD caps. 80% of golfers don’t belong to a club, and Golfoholics hopes to attract those 21 million who yearn for that experience, camaraderie and entertainment.
“We are excited to partner with Golfoholics and love the look of our initial cap collection,” says Anne Broholm, CEO of AHEAD. “We’re already fulfilling orders, and are looking forward to expanding the collection to include golf shirts and accessories.”
“AHEAD is the ideal partner to manage Golfoholics-branded merchandise,” says Bill Replogle, founder and Chief Addict at Golfoholics. “Anne and her team are great people to work with, and will be wonderful partners to have as we grow and serve our Golfoholics community.”
