Drummond Golf Secures Naming Rights For Two Go Golfing Tournaments

A partnership deal has been signed between Go Golfing and Drummond Golf that will see the Drummond Golf name at the forefront of two of Go Golfing's longest running tournaments for club golfers.

Known for 16 years as the Wrest Point Masters in Hobart, this annual week-long event in January for golfers over 35 will become the Drummond Golf World Masters from 2018 onward. The popular tournament includes 4 rounds of competition between the Royal Hobart and Tasmania golf clubs. Wrest Point Hotel and Casino will remain the host hotel and venue for the nightly social and entertainment events to ensure the Drummond Golf World Masters continues as a much-loved event for club golfers.

Drummond Golf will also be the title sponsor of the Sanctuary Cove 4 Ball Challenge on the Gold Coast each July.

The partnership with Drummond Golf will see more than $100,000 in Drummond Golf gift cards awarded at Go Golfing events.

On the back of Go Golfing's recent deal with Callaway to provide $200,000 in latest release golf equipment, the addition of $100,000 in Drummond Golf gift cards guarantees the biggest bounty of prizes offered at Go Golfing tournaments.

Golfers will again be the big winners from this deal with Drummond Golf. Peter McCarthy, Go Golfing's Managing Director says, "Golfers travel all over the world on Go Golfing hosted tours and tournaments. The Drummond Golf gift card prizes are much more convenient to carry home than traditional prizes and, better still, golfers can choose from Drummond's entire range in-store and online."

Ravi Abeyaratne, Drummond Golf's Marketing Director is delighted Drummond Golf is taking an active role in supporting amateur golf competition, "Drummond Golf is pleased to be headlining two of Australia's much-enjoyed tournaments for everyday golfers. Over the years Go Golfing has forged a reputation for running the best golf tournaments. Drummond Golf is committed to growing the game and supporting amateur golf tournaments. Everybody benefits: the golfers, Go Golfing and Drummond Golf."

Drummond Golf is Australia’s biggest golf retailer with 50 stores nationwide. Drummond Golf is a franchised business. All stores are owner operated and this guarantees quality service, expert knowledge and low pricing. On top of carrying all the leading brands in golf, Drummond Golf is also recognised for their expertise in fitting with the world first MiMatch fitting system.

The partnership will also be a boon for cancer research. In 2012 Drummond Golf launched Golf Fore A Cause to raise funds for Breast and Prostate Cancer Foundations. Go Golfing's Australian events will fundraise for Golf Fore A Cause. With raffle prizes to include golf holidays to luxury golf resorts worldwide, there's plenty of incentive for golfers to get behind this initiative.
