BENROSS
UK
In 1997, our CEO Jon Everitt set out with one thing in mind, to launch a brand that would produce top quality golfing equipment, without the prohibitive price tag. It was this commitment to work harder and think smarter, that meant Benross only used the very best components and the most intelligent engineering, to design golf equipment with the everyday golfer in mind.
Today, the philosophy behind Benross remains as true as it did back then. We have a passion and commitment to deliver outstanding performance at an affordable price and to help everyday golfers, like you, to hone and improve their game. At Benross we put our customers’ needs at the heart of everything we do. Why? Because you’re our tour pro.
‘I Play Benross’ brand campaign
To further demonstrate our commitment to the everyday golfer, we have put our customers at the heart of our brand campaign, ‘I Play Benross’. These are the players who love the game, the challenge, the social, the early starts and the catch-up time with friends and family. We hope you like it and would welcome your feedback.
Thanks

OSCAR JACOBSON
Style is one thing, but you can never have style until you are totally comfortable with whom you are. Our clothes have that magic thing; they let you be you. How is that possible? This is a secret, but we’ll let you know: it’s about fit and tailoring. The better a garment suits you, the better it fits, the better it falls over your shoulders, the better it feels on your back, the more comfortable you become. That’s why Oscar Jacobson is very meticulous about details, fitting and tailoring the old way (with stitches rather than glue). When you feel what you are wearing, it seldom feels good. But when you don’t think about it, when you can walk, sit and move without having “something in the way”, that’s when you can relax. That’s when you can... “not give a damn”. And that’s how it feels wearing Oscar Jacobson – your invisible friend that lets you be you.

WILSON STAFF
Wilson Staff is the professional and advanced amateur golf products division of Wilson Sporting Goods. Wilson designs and manufactures a full range of golf equipment, accessories, and apparel using the Wilson Staff, Wilson, ProStaff, Profile, and Hope brands. Wilson's other lines are generally considered to be "big box," "value," or "economy" brands, while the Wilson Staffline provides higher quality equipment used on all major professional golf tours.
In 1932 Wilson Advisory staff member Gene Sarazen was inspired by the aerodynamics of an airplane's wing to create a club head that would glide smoothly through sand. Sarazen welded a piece of steel to the sole of the club and ground it producing ‘bounce’. This marked the introduction of the sand wedge and in 1933 alone, Wilson sold 50,000 of these clubs, marketed as the R-90, which went on to be the most popular sand wedge in golf
