Four-Time Major Champion Ernie Els Signs on as Spokesperson for Stable 26 Footwear

(MAY 2014) – Known as “The Big Easy” for his stance and smooth swing, South African professional golfer Ernie Els is no stranger to success. Inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2011 and the South African Golf Hall of Fame in 2009, Els knows the value of comfort and stability on the green.

Specialty sock company, Stable 26, announced Els - a four-time major champion - as their newest supporter.

“As a professional golfer I would say I take over a million steps a year in competitive play, so it’s impossible to over-estimate the importance of your feet being comfortable and well supported,” commented Ernie. “That’s why I choose Stable 26 socks. The in-built silicone pads provide extra padding where you need it most. Together with my ECCO golf shoes they help give my swing a secure foundation and ensure maximum comfort and support, literally every step of the way.”

Founded by chiropractor Daryl Sherman, Stable 26 golf socks are designed to bridge the gap between athletes and their equipment. The contoured elastic arch support and a hand-linked seamless toe to reduce friction, Stable 26 technology eliminates negative space between a golfer's foot and his footgear, allowing for increased comfort, fit, and stability.

Stable 26 specialty socks can be found at Dicks Sporting Goods, Golf Galaxy and major golf retailers.
