adidas Golf equipment tested in world’s most extreme conditions
Published: Last updated:
adidas Golf have decided to test their apparel in some of the world’s most extreme conditions – by sending two golfers on a round-the-world trip.
They will play on some of the most inhospitable golf courses on the planet in searing heat and chilling cold.
Their challenge is to test adidas Golf apparel and see how it stands up to the conditions.
The two golfers are adidas employees and have been chosen after extensive interviews to determine who could best cope with the extremities they will face.
Canadian Lindsay Knowlton and American Josh Sullivan will play courses in Death Valley – United States, Bolivia, Argentina, South Africa and Australia taking in the world’s lowest and highest-elevation golf courses as well as the world’s hottest and southern-most courses.
“Our intent with this program is to prove that adidas Golf ClimaCool® and ClimaProof® apparel stands up against the world’s most extreme golf conditions and allows golfers to perform at their best regardless of what Mother Nature throws at them,”said John Kawaja, executive vice president of adidas Golf.
They will visit:
Furnace Creek, CA. USA – The world’s lowest-elevation golf course at 214 ft below sea level, where they will wear ClimaCool® apparel
LaPaz Golf Club, Bolivia – The world’s highest-elevation golf course at 10,800 ft above sea level, where they will wear ClimaCool®, ClimaLite® and FORMOTION apparel
Ushuaia, Argentina – The world’s southern-most 18-hole golf course, where they will be wearing ClimaCool®, ClimaLite® and FORMOTION
Walker Bay Golf Resort, South Africa – Africa’s southern-most golf course, where they will be wearing ClimaCool®, ClimaLite®
Alice Springs, Australia – The world’s hottest golf course with temperatures in excess of 122 degrees Fahrenheit (50 degrees Celsius), where they will be wearing ClimaCool® and FORMOTION
Each day of their adventure will be documented with video and blog entries that’ll be promoted on adidasgolf.com, as well as daily tweets and Facebook updates.
