Imperial will become an official “Partner of the Carolinas Golf Association” under the new agreement, and provide headwear for contestants in the CGA’s top competitive events in 2017, including the Carolinas Amateur Championship, Carolinas Women’s Amateur Championship and Captain’s Putter Matches.

Imperial will also be offering limited edition CGA headwear on their website and a portion of the proceeds will be directed back to the Carolinas Golf Foundation, which supports a variety of Carolinas-based golf initiatives, including junior golf, player development, scholarships and turf grass research.

“I am very excited to work with the Carolinas Golf Association to raise money for the CGA Foundation,” said David Shaffer, director of marketing at Imperial Headwear. “The CGA is run by great people, who do wonderful things for the game of golf and specifically amateur golf in the Carolinas.”

The Limited Edition collection of hats offered online will include 14 styles in multiple colors with either a Carolinas Golf Association logo printed twill patch or a special military appreciation version of the CGA logo, featuring a camouflage and United States flag background. $10 from each cap sold online will go directly to the CGA Foundation and free ground shipping is available on these hats too. 

“The CGA is looking forward to a special partnership with Imperial Headwear,” said Lawrence Hicks, president of the Carolinas Golf Association. “They are the classic golf brand, make great products and proactively support projects that help grow the game.”
