McKennon Golf Bags to be Awarded to Oregon’s Major Champions
The McKennon Golf Bag Company of Lake Oswego, Ore. has enlisted the support of the Oregon Golf Association in marketing its premium hand-made golf bags.
Under terms of the relationship, winners of OGA administered championships including the Oregon Amateur, Oregon Senior Amateur and the OGA Players Championship will receive a McKennon Player’s Bag designed especially for each of the championship winners while Oregon Mid- Amateur champions will receive McKennon’s barrel head covers emblazed with the logo commemorating the championship winner in order to conform with the rules of amateur status. In return, digital banners will be included on applicable championship websites.
“We are thrilled about our relationship with The Oregon Golf Association” says Mike McKennon, founder and CEO of the company. “It is a privilege to be able to provide our product to the winners of Oregon’s most important and prestigious championships.”
Brent Whittaker, Director of Tournament Operations added, “the winners of these prestigious amateur championship earn a title and trophy commemorating their achievement, but the winners of the Oregon Amateur, Senior Amateur and Players Championship receive no prizes. To be able to provide them a unique and valuable prize such as this increases the significance of winning this Championship even that much more.”
