2016 - A Good Year For Kentwool

It's apparently that many of us here are big fans of Kentwool socks (count me among you!).  Found this in the InBox this morning -- the family owned company from South Carolina has had a very good 2016 so far...

 

 


KENTWOOL EXPLODED ONTO THE PGA TOUR IN 2016 WITH PLAYERS AND CADDIES WALKING MORE THAN 100 MILLION BLISTER-FREE STEPS

 

GREENVILLE, S.C. — KENTWOOL, makers of the “World's Best Sock,” partnered with the Association of Professional Tour Caddies (APTC) in 2016 to put its socks through a rigorous quality, comfort and durability test.  In doing so, KENTWOOL spread like wildfire among the world's best players as well, with more than 100 caddies and 94 PGA TOUR players wearing its popular Men's Tour Profile and Men's Tour Standard socks in competition by the end of the 2016 season. KENTWOOL passed the test as caddies and players combined to take more than 100 million steps without a blister.

 

KENTWOOL's Men's Tour Profile and Men's Tour Standard socks are constructed from a proprietary blend of Super Fine Merino Wool and other natural and high-tech performance fibers.  Each pair is infused with an innovative WINDspun technology to deliver unparalleled comfort, and is designed to reduce friction, abrasion and muscle fatigue. 

 

“We had a great deal of confidence in our products at the outset, but we also knew that 100 million steps without a blister was an ambitious undertaking for sure,” said Dan Murphy, president at KENTWOOL. “After having just 6 players and a handful of caddies wearing KENTWOOL in 2015, we experienced unparalleled growth this season, with 94 PGA TOUR players and more than 100 caddies realizing the clear performance and comfort benefits of our socks.  We are proud to be one of the fastest growing brands on the PGA TOUR, as a result.”

 

FUN FACTS ABOUT KENTWOOL'S 100 MILLION BLISTER-FREE STEPS

 

·       KENTWOOL players and caddies walked over 50,0000 miles during the 2016 PGA TOUR Season.

 

·       KENTWOOL players and caddies could have walked back-and-forth between Pebble Beach and Bethpage Black 8 times in 2016, and still had enough steps left over to play both courses.

  

·       KENTWOOL players and caddies walked approximately 88,800,000 yards during this season.  With that many yards, they could have walked the PGA TOUR's longest course (7,698 yards) Torrey Pines South a total of 11,430 times.  

 

·      KENTWOOL players and caddies could have walked more than 1/5th of the way from Earth to the Moon blister-free in 2016.

 

“2016 was a big year for me,” said Ryan Moore, KENTWOOL Tour Team member.  “I achieved a lot of career milestones this season and KENTWOOL was with me every step of the way.  After all of my PGA TOUR success, helping to bring the Ryder Cup back to the United States with the clinching point was the perfect way to cap-off my year.”

 

Since 2008, KENTWOOL has been manufacturing the “World's Best Sock,” just outside of Greenville, SC.  Drawing on over 150 years of mastery in wool manufacturing, KENTWOOL leverages the attributes of wool, nature's performance fiber, for unmatched comfort and performance in the sock category.

You won't be disappointed!  I did have a blister wearing them one day walking, but Kentwool honored the no-blister guarantee and sent me a free pair.  I haven't had problems since.

 

I have a bunch of old socks in the drawer that I only wear when mowing the lawn because I only wear Kentwool socks... all the time.  I think today is the last day to wear my Tour Profile socks; time to go to the Tour Standard this weekend because shorts are probably gone until spring.  I also bought the Kentwool 19th Hole argyle socks for every day wear when not golfing.  

 

Yes, they are a little pricey, but you can get good deals on them, and I have yet to wear any of them out.

I have always been a packer fan, but I can't bring myself to buy these.  They look too "ducky".  Sorry Mmmmmbuddy.

These are the only socks I wear anymore.  I have a bunch of others, but they are tucked away in a drawer.  All summer I only wore the Tour Profile.  Now that it's colder I bought several pair of Tour Standard when I play in long pants (I hate wearing short socks with long pants!).  I also bought some 19th Hole socks to wear on days that I don't play golf.

I bought 2 pr of low profiles last year, but can't wear them with my ankle brace so I bought 2 pr crew socks. Amazing comfort! When my Footjoy socks wear out they will be replaced with more Kentwools.

Well deserved. Been wearing their socks from when they first came to market. I still have them, look and wear fantastic. Bought many since, Now that the cool/winter weather has arrived, I have now transitioned over to their Tour Standard. Incredible value in their products.
