Apparel Review:
Abacus Golf Apparel
by Jeffrey Reed, Editor, LondonOntarioGolf.com
Rain. Wind. Warm. Whatever Mother Nature presents a golfer from tee to green, Swedish golf-clothing brand Abacus has the apparel for the job. What's more, Abacus golf apparel carries a contemporary look while protecting us from the elements. It's part of the reason why Abacus has been commissioned to dress The 2011 European Solheim Cup Team.

"We are very pleased to get the enquiry to dress the team once again. We appreciate the collaboration with the players and the captains. It helps us to develop the Abacus Collection to the front edge for the best golfers", said Sven-Olof Karlsson, MD Abacus Sportswear AB.

Abacus sponsored The 2009 European Solheim Cup team in Chicago. "My strongest memory was the atmosphere from the first tee. Most important was to see how pleased all the players were with their outfits and the good response Abacus got from the American spectators", says Sven-Olof.

The contract for continued cooperation between Abacus and The European Solheim Cup team means that Abacus will dress the players, their caddies, members of the board, the players' guests and the team's dignitaries during the competition week at Killeen Castle Golf Club in Ireland, September 2011.

"I am delighted that Abacus will be the official clothing supplier for The European Solheim Cup Team in 2011. The Abacus clothing range is stylish, comfortable and functional. The quality of the fabrics, the advanced technological materials and design gives us the confidence to perform in all weather conditions, come rain or shine," said Alison Nicholas, The 2011 European Solheim Cup Captain.

We at London Ontario Golf particularly like the argyle pullover sweaters, and patterned rain trousers - both stylish enough for food and beverages in the swankiest of 19th holes, yet fun enough for the course.
