Shared vision for a new breed of leadership in golf will inspire innovative apparel line to be developed with Faldo Series Asia players
January 28, 2010, Hong Kong: The Faldo Series Asia announced today that Alpine Creations, Ltd. has been appointed as its official golf wear partner. During the three-year partnership, to commence with the Faldo Series Asia Grand Final at Mission Hills Golf Club in Shenzhen, China on March 10-12, 2010, Alpine Creations will be the sole apparel provider for all players and officials.
The manufacturer, which has a 30-year legacy of investing in the region, will be developing a new line of golf apparel in 2010 based largely on feedback from Faldo Series Asia competitors, including over 80 of the region’s leading male and female golfers aged 12 to 21 who have qualified for the Grand Final in March.
“I am delighted that Alpine Creations has elected to join us in supporting these gifted young athletes,” stated six-time Major winner Nick Faldo. “And, in keeping with our goal to educate and involve golfers of all means across Asia, Alpine is affording them a unique opportunity to help develop the clothes that they and their peers will wear in the future.”
“We admire what Sir Nick and the Faldo Series have done for youth worldwide, so it is truly an honour to support their efforts to nurture future generations of golfers in Asia,” said Ashok Mahtani, co-Founder of Alpine Creations. “What we find particularly rewarding is the opportunity to interact with and learn from the next generation of golf legends, and to grow as a business right alongside them.”
Alpine Creations joins major partners Mission Hills Golf Club, UBS and The R&A in supporting Faldo’s golf development programme across Asia and the Middle East. Launched in 2006, the Faldo Series Asia is also endorsed by the Asian Tour and the Asia Pacific Golf Confederation.
