PGA of BC PARTNER SPOTLIGHT
2UNDR
|
|
The vision of 2UNDR was simple. Inspired by the kangaroo pouch, 2UNDR set out to create a high-performance men’s athletic underwear with the versatility of everyday use. Using the most advanced construction techniques and materials, 2UNDR separates your equipment from your body to reduce unwanted skin-on-skin contact. With more support than a standard brief and improved airflow to keep you cool. 2UNDR also has an excellent assortment of golf polos, shorts, socks, hats and towels rounding out this underwear brand into an all in one golf apparel brand!
2UNDR was designed in Vancouver but is worn everywhere. Brand ambassadors include PGA Tour stars Rickie Fowler and Matt Every, plus many other major and action-sport athletes throughout North America.
Part of the Rampion Enterprises Ltd. brand family, 2UNDR is a Bronze-level Preferred Partner of the Association and presenting sponsor of the PGA of BC’s Golf Shop of the Year Award.

After a two-year hiatus, Canucks Junior Golf Week made a successful return in 2022. Did you know that last year the Association saw a record number of courses hold camps across the Province? Over 30 facilities helped introduce or grow the game with young golfers ages 5-17. The Association is working with the Canucks and our presenting sponsors to maintain the momentum gained last year and grow the initiative further in 2023.
Any facility interested in participating in Canucks Junior Golf Week and helping the PGA of BC celebrate and grow junior golf across our province is asked to contact Dan Czerwenka, Programs Manager at dan@pgabc.org. Hosting camps is a great opportunity to give back to the game, while also providing opportunities for members to recruit new students. Canucks merchandise will continue to be provided to all attending kids and FIN is expected to continue to appear at multiple camps, with plans in 2023 to travel outside of the Lower Mainland. A sign-up reminder and more details will be made available closer to the event’s kick-off this summer. |
