ReplyDeleteFollowing Emily 'Coach' Gottfried's pummelling of 'Squire' Richard Gottfried and co in the New Years Luton Invitational, it has been revealed that Outdoor Leisure Attire company 'Safari' are seeking a sponsorship deal with the new course record holder.
Safari claim to have been 'scouting' Emily for some time. Spokes-person and Store Manager, Laraine Willis, revealed in a recent interview that "after noticing she was sporting a recent purchase of our Wellington Boots from the store, we are keen to up our interest in a 2011 season endorsement."
Emily has yet to comment whether the Wellington Boots (modelled in several pictures) made a significant effect to her stroke play, however the impressive beating of 'Squire & co' has opened the door for more fashion sponsorship deals.
CEuk, The Outdoor Professional Product Specialist, is rumoured to be interested in a kit endorsement deal with 'Squire' Richard Gottfried. More to follow....
What a victory! (even if I do say so myself!) A great start to 2011. I plan to beat Squire Richard Gottfried at every competition that we both take part in throughout 2011.
ReplyDeleteThe sponsorship offers have already been rolling in, so I'm going to take a look at them carefully to protect my carefully nutured image... :)
