Mike and I are heading off to see the 2010 US Open Championship in Pebble Beach. We'll start off by watching the practice rounds on Wednesday as well as the morning tee times for Thursday and Friday. I have had the good fortune to attend some great golf events, but this will be my first Major. I was lucky enough to attend the Ryder Cup at Valhalla in 2008, but a US Open at Pebble might go to the top of the list for me.

Pure Grips was featured in an article yesterday by Golf.com's Gary Van Sickle. After seeing our product at the 2010 PGA Merchandise Show, he kindly wrote in his article, "Grip it and play it: Pure grips," that they were the biggest innovation he's seen thus far. He is quite impressed with our innovative Tapeless Installation, boasting about its speed and no muss-no-fuss installation of our golf grips.  Our line of grips were praised as being "excellent and tacky".

Gary pointed out that "It's going to be a great incentive for club pros to stock Pure grips because they'll be able to change them so quickly." Well, we have to agree! If you're interested in finding out more information on becoming a dealer of our golf grips, please visit our Become a Dealer page. Thanks again to Golf.com for the great article!

Yes, Pure Grips is international, but did you know that we're entering the Asian market as well? We were very excited- and a little abashed to learn that Pure has penetrated the Thai golf community.

2ndShaft, the #1 golf club fitting center in Thailand has become a fan of our products and was kind enough to feature our grips on their website. According to our translation team, they said "you look good with Pure grip full set." We tend to agree. We're glad that they're excited about our grips and can't wait to hear their feedback about our easy golf grip installation. Arm yourself with a Thai dictionary and check out the their reviews/ nice photos of our clubs!

As golf season ends in Colorado and begins in Phoenix, I am feeling reflective about the Summer that has passed. This was an amazing first few months of a new job, and I can honestly say that I am having an amazing time. Being in the golf industry and having golf for a backdrop for a job is amazing, and it certainly makes all of the long hours and relentless hard work much easier to endure. What really makes it all worth whole is hearing someone say how much they like our all-weather golf grips. Or how much they appreciate our golf grip installation tools. After a frenetic 5 months of Summer and Fall I am really pleased with how impressive I have found our products to be. I realize that I have not really done much to explain our products in this blog, so I thought I would take a moment to explain what PURE Grips all-weather golf grips and golf grip installation tools are all about.

We are excited to announce the release of our PURE Midsize Wrap and PURE Soft Wrap.
