Supplier News - Glenmuir
GLENMUIR, one of Europe’s leading golf apparel brands, has renewed its corporate partnership with the PGAs of Europe and will continue to support the organisation’s International Team Championship.
The Scotland-based company regards working with the PGAs of Europe as an excellent way to strengthen its relationship with many PGA professionals working outside of the UK and Ireland.
Glenmuir supports many initiatives and activities in golf, especially at grass roots level where PGA professionals are often at the forefront of projects designed to grow and develop the game.
Colin Mee, managing director of Glenmuir, said: “We are delighted to renew our status as a Corporate Partner of the PGAs of Europe.
“Particularly in countries where golf is just being developed, or where the game is still in its infancy, it is important for the golf industry to support PGA professionals and help them to deliver the game in the correct way.
“Being a Corporate Partner directly helps to support PGAs of Europe members while sponsoring the International Team Championship means those members have a high-profile championship in which they can be proud to play.”
From the Ryder Cup to the PGA Cup and the Glenmuir PGA Professional Championship, Glenmuir consistently demonstrates its love for the game of golf at all levels.
Said Ian Randell, PGAs of Europe chief executive
“Glenmuir continue to be great supporters of professional golf and providers of excellent service to PGA Professionals. Their team is a joy to work with and extremely professional in the manner in which they conduct their business.
2011 brings the sixth year that we have enjoyed their support for our International Team Championship which has also been instrumental in the forming of mutually beneficial relationships with a large number of our member PGAs. In fact it is testament to the strength of the partnership and quality of Glenmuir products that no less than 18 teams wore Glenmuir apparel for the 2010 Championship.”
In the News - Damian Mooney
9th Green Castlerock
Damian Mooney likes to keep it interesting by mixing his game as he showed at Castlerock in the PING PGA Ulster Golfers' Alliance outing.
The big man shot down three eagles but also three-putted three times and balanced a birdie three with a bogey five as he posted a winning three-under-par 70.
To get everyone a full round of golf, a two-tee start was organised and Mooney blasted off at the 10th hole but three-stabbed that green. He repeated the performance at the 12th and lost another shot at 16 where he put his second shot into bushes and had to take a penalty drop.
Then he turned on the player power for which he is famous. At the long 17th he was short with a drive and four iron but chipped in for eagle and birdied the next from nine feet to turn in level par 37.
He was back to one over after losing a ball off the first tee but was back to regulation when he drove the edge of the second green and chipped to three inches for birdie. His second eagle flew in at the third hole, carved out by a drive and seven iron to eight feet, with his third eagle landing at the fifth where he rifled a drive and eight iron to one foot.
On the eighth surface the winner again three-stabbed for bogey five and finished with a par for a homeward run of three-under-33.
Three amateurs shared 39 points with Brian Rossi (Belvoir Pk) best on the back nine with 22. Stephen Doran (Mourne) came home in 20 strokes for second spot while former professional Kenny Stevenson (Warrenpoint) took third spot with 18 back.
The gross prize was won by Johnny Hagan, a plus-one handicapper from Kirkistown Castle, with a one-over-74 while topping the team leaderboard was the Portadown combination of pro Paul Stevenson and his dad Kenny, Edgar McReynolds and Bill Nixon.
They posted 94 points.
