Imperial will become the “Official Headwear of the Georgia State Golf Association” under the new agreement, and provide headwear for contestants in some of the GSGA’s most competitive events in 2017, including the Georgia Amateur Championship, Georgia Junior Championship, and all Georgia Challenge Match and State Teams.

Imperial will also be offering limited edition GSGA headwear on their website – ImperialSports.com – and a portion of the proceeds will be directed back to the GSGA for junior golf initiatives.
