Kevin Gates, Vice President Asia/Pacific, Club Car Inc. said Club Car is proud to be aligned with the ALPG Tour, stating “We see the ALPG Tour as a great product and a perfect fit for our brand. The Club Car Series events are played throughout regional and metropolitan areas generating great exposure for us, together with the extensive media coverage the Tour generates. It is fantastic to have the calibre of players such as Stacey Keating, Katherine Hull and Sarah Kemp as past winners. Being able to support events that provide a tour for local female professional golfers is also a key driver behind our continuing this relationship.”
