to have the opportunity to partner with International Pairs USA to help support this exciting event.”
The International Pairs, which is now in it's seventh year, is rolling out across the Southeastern United States . Since its debut in 1998 in the UK , the International Pairs has grown to become the largest two-person team event on the planet. The competition is now open to every golf club in the Southeast. All clubs are invited to host qualifying events.
"We are delighted that International Pairs USA and Hippo Golf are engaging in a promotional sponsor relationship,” commented Bobby Parish, President, International Pairs USA, “Hippo is recognized as a leading golf equipment manufacturer. We are pleased to be offering these quality forged lob wedges to all of our competitors.”
A golfer pays $25 to enter the competition and receives a $70 Hippo lob wedge. “This is an exceptional golf value,” continued Parish. “Additionally, every competitor will have a chance to play in the USA National Final in St. Augustine, Florida and possibly represent their country at the World Final in Wales."
All competitors over the age of 16 can enter. There are separate categories for men, ladies, and mixed pairs. All events must have a minimum of 25 pairs to qualify for the 2005 USA National Championship to be held at the World Golf Village's famous "King and Bear" course in St. Augustine, Florida on May 24th. The USA National Championship pair will advance, expenses paid, to the World Finals in Wales. The World Finals will be held at the magnificent "Celtic Manor" June 5, 6, and 7, 2005. The Celtic Manor is also the location of the 2010 Ryder Cup.
The World Finals will be televised on Sky Sports Network.
Ian Woosnam, Captain of Europe’s 2006 Ryder Cup Team, is a Hippo staff player. Woosnam, a former Masters champion, 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.
The Hippo HWT Lob Wedge blends true feel with ultimate performance. The forged wedge features a traditional profile and peripheral weighting for superior playability, exacting feel and feedback. The club face is sand blasted with v-grooves for superb spin and shot control. System matched steel shafts designed specifically for the HWT Lob Wedge come standard along with the Hippo premium velvet grip. The HWT Lob Wedge has a suggested retail price of $69.99.
