Hippo Golf Congratulates Staff Player Ian Woosnam on His Appointment as Captain of Europe’s 2006 Ryder Cup Team

(Vista, CA) – March 7, 2005 — Hippo Golf Company, manufacturer of premium golf products at affordable prices, congratulates staff player Ian Woosnam on his appointment as Captain of Europe’s 2006 Ryder Cup Team.

“We were thrilled to learn that Ian had been named Captain of Europe’s Ryder Cup Team for 2006,” said David Dixon, President, Hippo Golf. “He is one of the world’s truly great

players and we would like to add our congratulations to all the others he has received.”

Woosnam, who has played on nine European Ryder Cup Teams since 1983, has been a key figure in Hippo’s staff player roster since 1994. He was re-signed as a Hippo staff player in February of 2004, and continues to work closely with the company to promote its products and to help with future technical innovations. Additionally, the lead up to the 2006 Ryder Cup with Woosnam as captain will provide lots of visibility and recognition for Hippo Golf, Europe’s number one golf brand.

“Having a world class professional like Ian Woosnam on board is very exciting for us,” continued Dixon. “We are looking forward to having him work closely with our design team on some exciting new product lines going forward”

According to Woosnam, “It’s great to team up with Hippo again and I am confident that my new Hippo equipment will help me return to the top of the leader boards in the very near future.”

As a Hippo staff player, Woosnam will work with Hippo over the next few years to develop and use Hippo irons, carry a Hippo bag and wear Hippo headwear. He will also be used in advertising and endorsements.
