LEWES, DE (June 5, 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 the Myrtle Beach Gateway Tournament at Pressick
Country Club
wearing Cyclonic golf shoes.
During the three days of play, Gessino-Kraft wore the Cyclonic
2003 Tour Series Neils
and the Classic Series Ewans. Gessino-Kraft finished the tournament,
played on one of
Myrtle Beach's most challenging courses, at 8 under par. Prior to
the Gateway Tour, he
was the leading money winner of last winter's Hooters Tour, having
won three tournaments.
Gessino-Kraft was one of the first professional golfers to select
Cyclonics to wear on tour
when the company launched four years ago.
"I wanted to wear Cyclonics because of the cool, hipper styles.
Especially four years ago,
they were breaking new ground in golf shoes. I finally found some
shoes that didn't look
like my Dad's," said Gessino-Kraft. "But what kept me
wearing them was the performance
during tournaments. I've come to count on the reliability as much
as the style."
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.
"As a niche golf shoe company that has developed a progressive
brand image that we
feel separates us from the crowd, we relate to players like Kevin
who epitomize the drive
needed to 'fight' your way up the tour ranks," said Tom Mandel,
president, Cyclonic Inc.
"It's golfers like Kevin, who are young, hungry and passionate
about the game that
reflect the independent spirits of Cyclonic and our customers. We're
happy for him
and expect his career to continue to climb."
