On the back of their sponsorship of the Ladies Masters, Volvik wanted to be more involved in women’s professional golf in Australia, as explained by John Craig, Managing Director, Volvik Australia Volvik Korea has made a serious commitment to supporting Australian golf via their sponsorship of the Volvik RACV Australian Ladies Masters and to drill this down further to the domestic level through a Partnership with ALPG is really exciting. We are thrilled to be involved with the Club Car Pro Am Series and to helping talented Australian girls to reach for the next level. The partnership will see Volvik involved in all areas of the ALPG operations, not only will they be known as the official ball of the organisation, they will also be providing product (caps and balls) to all amateurs and professionals participating in the ALPG Club Car Series, as well being involved in the Next Generation Club and have put forward a number player incentives. The player incentives have been split into three categories and they all relate to player performances during the Club Car Series. The categories are: the leading ALPG rookie, the leading ALPG member who is not on either the LPGA, Ladies European Tour (LET), or Symetra tours in 2014 and leading ALPG member who has playing status on either the LPGA, Symetra or LET tours. Volvik already enjoys a strong presence in women’s professional golf with their involvement in the LPGA and Symetra Tours, along with sponsoring several top players including Australians Lindsey Wright and Courtney Massey. Karen Lunn, Executive Director, ALPG, was thrilled to announce Volvik as the official ball of the ALPG and can see the benefits to both parties during and outside of tournament season. “I am thrilled to announce this exciting new partnership with Volvik. I would like to say a huge thank you to Chairman Moon and also to John Craig of Volvik Australia for their support, their vision and their belief in the ALPG and Women’s professional golf in Australia. Volvik is quickly becoming one of the most significant and trusted golf ball manufacturers in the world and its image which brings colour and vibrancy to the game aligns perfectly with the ALPG brand. The success that women professionals are having using the Volvik golf ball worldwide certainly makes the ALPG proud to endorse it. This agreement will see Volvik support not only our playing professionals, but also our teaching professionals which make up a large percentage of the ALPG membership. We look forward to a long and successful partnership.
