(BUFFALO, N.Y.) – Fore Athletes, connecting professional athletes to the game of golf, announces the selection of OnCore Golf (OnCore) as its official golf ball partner. Both OnCore and Fore Athletes boast professional athlete ownership, creating a synergistic golf industry partnership providing premium golf balls to the Fore Athletes community, and supporting our mission to connect professional athletes to golf.
“It’s exciting partnering with a golf company that shares our passion for connecting professional athletes to golf,” said Fore Athletes Cofounder Joshua Dobbs. “Being a professional athlete, I know that having the right equipment is crucial to sports. That’s why this partnership will help our athletes be prepared to take on the game of golf.”
Allen Chaney, Joshua’s partner and Cofounder added, “With OnCore and Fore Athletes both having professional athlete ownership makes this partnership extremely unique in the golf industry.”
OnCore will not only be the official ball of Fore Athletes but will aim to leverage its products with Fore Athletes’ mission and brand to create something unique including exclusive memberships and other offerings. The Buffalo-based brand has been a rapidly rising name in the world of golf, succeeding by focusing on disruptive innovation in the golf ball space. Partnering with several professional and amateur tours and organizations over the last several years, OnCore continues to increase its footprint with these collaborations.
“It started with meeting Allen and Joshua at a hotel bar in Orlando during the PGA Show and has led to an exciting partnership between our brands,” said OnCore Cofounder Bret Blakely. “After learning more about their vision, I knew it was something OnCore needed to be a part of. And once Allen experienced the performance of OnCore golf balls and raved about them in a text message, I knew this would be the beginning of a wonderful relationship.”
