Glenmuir supports SFG Challenge Final

Glenmuir, one of Europe's leading golf apparel brands, has become the official clothing sponsor for the 2009 SFG Challenge Cup Final.

Single Figure Golfer (SFG) is an exclusive community open to amateur golfers with a handicap of less than 10.

Every year members compete in qualifying tournaments to earn points which go towards winning a place on the SFG Team, captained by Peter McEvoy OBE, which plays annually for the SFG Challenge Cup against former Ryder Cup and Solheim Cup players.

This year's grand final will be played on the Celtic Manor 2010 Course on October 27-28 and both the amateurs and Pros will do battle wearing clothing from Glenmuir's acclaimed Autumn/Winter 09 collection.

"Glenmuir is a brand right at the heart of golf and we are delighted to be supporting this unique competition," said Glenmuir managing director, Colin Mee.

"The feedback from last year's final was that it was very professionally organised and extremely competitive.

“As we know from years of supporting the European Ryder Cup Team, in this type of pressurised environment it is essential to look good and feel comfortable on the course - so by wearing Glenmuir each team can be sure of getting the very best in style and performance from their clothing."

Glenmuir's involvement brings added credibility to SFG, which launched last year and is gaining a strong following.

A preferred supplier to the European Ryder Cup Team for 21 years, the Lanark-based company also enjoys partnerships with the PGAs of Europe, the PGA, the European Tour, The Open Championship, and the English Golf Union. Glenmuir is official clothing supplier to Ryder Cup Wales 2010, The Scottish Ladies’ Golf Association, and the Golf Union of Wales.

Paul Heming, Chief Executive of SFG, said: "Glenmuir is a renowned golf brand that is associated with the greatest matchplay golf competition in the world, so we are naturally delighted that they have become the clothing sponsors for the SFG Challenge Cup Final."
