LEWES, Del. (July 31, 2003) - Cyclonic Inc., makers of high performance
golf shoes for twenty-first century golfers with a modern sense of style,
announced today that Kevin Gessino-Kraft won today's Legends Group Classic
wearing the new Cyclonic Tour Series golf shoes.
During the four days of play, Gessino-Kraft wore each of the four new Tour Series styles, which include the highly popular slip-on Finley, the sporty white Logan, the classic broque style Lennox and the contemporary Niels. Gessino-Kraft was one of the first professional golfers to select Cyclonics to wear on tour when the company launched four years ago.
"I feel confident and play better when I know I look good on the course," said Gessino-Kraft. "Ironically, I ended up wearing all four Tour Series styles, since they just each happened to coordinate well with each day's clothing. I'd say my style's more progressive and modern than the typical golfer -- both on and off the course. Cyclonic fits that look. "
This is Gessino-Kraft's second win in the Gateway Beach Series, the first being the Intel Classic in June. In today's day of play, Gessino-Kraft was seven ahead with seven holes to go. He ended five under today, winning the tournament at fifteen under par. Prior to the Gateway Tour, Gessino-Kraft had three wins and was the leading money winner in the 2002/2003 NGA/Hooters Winter Tour.
Cyclonic's sponsorship strategy has been to select young golfers in the tours that serve as springboards to the PGA Tour who demonstrate promise and who need sponsorship support to remain active tour professionals. Sponsored players are selected for their talent and their spirit.
To help aspiring golfers learn the ins and outs of a career in golf and the life of a touring pro, Gessino-Kraft will be keeping a journal on the www.cyclonicgolf.com website. The journal will include his thoughts of life on the tour, challenges he faces and successes to share. Visitors can post questions which Gessino-Kraft will randomly answer.
"We knew from the start we had a winner with Kevin. Obviously, not just for his sense of style, but his playing ability, too," said Tom Mandel, president, Cyclonic, Inc. "Kevin is what we're all about - a passion for golf and a drive to create a personal style that gives confidence on the course. He has that hungry, independent spirit that's reflective of our core customers."
