HIRZL Returns as Official Glove of the 2011 RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship

(Granbury, TX) - HIRZL announced today that their line of high performance golf gloves has been chosen for the second straight year as the official golf glove of the 2011 RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship presented by Dick's Sporting Goods.

"We are very pleased and excited to have HIRZL return as our official golf glove for this year's event," said Art Sellinger, chief executive officer of Long Drivers of America, owners of the Championship. "At last year's RE/MAX World Championship Finals, HIRZL was a huge hit with the players and I expect many more players to be wearing HIRZL gloves at this year's Championship," added Sellinger. "With the contestants generating swing speeds in excess of 150 miles per hour, having a properly fit glove that can withstand extreme wear and tear and provide superior grip is paramount to success,"

HIRZL will custom fit the competitors from 15 countries for size and style. The event is taking place from October 26- November 4 in Mesquite, Nevada with the finals shown live Nov. 4th on ESPN3 at 1 P.M. PST. HIRZL is also the official glove of the Aldila Long Drive Team and members of the team will be in Mesquite for the competition.

"We are thrilled to once again be associated with this outstanding event," said Gary Sheppard, President and CEO of HIRZL North America. "The long drive hitters are known to exert tremendous pressure on the golf club and the glove is the only equipment that connects their hands to the club," added Sheppard. "Our unique GRIPPP technology helps these players have confidence in their glove to be able to perform at their highest level."

HIRZL is a global pioneer in high performance sports gloves where innovation and precision engineering is at the heart of the HIRZL philosophy and is supported by a focus on design excellence and top quality production.
