Feb. 20, 2006 -- It’s functional, durable, lightweight, easy-to-use, and best of all it’s crafted specifically to help improve every golfers’ game. Introducing Umbrella Plus™, a revolutionary golf umbrella that features a unique three-dimensional targeting area for chipping and pitching practice, launched for first time ever in November 2005.

Umbrella Plus™ is distributed in the U.S. by Southern Umbrella (www.southernplus.com) and other authorized distributors of Suntek Global Group Limited (www.umbrellaplus.com), creators of the new golfing umbrella.

“Umbrella Plus appeals to all golfers regardless of their skill level,” said Tim Fries, PGA professional and 1998 WNY Section Player of the Year. “If you love to play golf, a good umbrella is a ‘must have’ in your golf bag. When you add putting/chipping targets as a feature, you have much more than an ordinary umbrella – you have a tool that helps lower your scores.”

There is no other product on the market like Umbrella Plus. While low golf scores are often attributed to a good short game, many players don’t like to practice their short game. The portability of Umbrella Plus™ allows users to practice their short game virtually anywhere and anytime - indoors or outdoors. What's more, Umbrella Plus™ is a great practice tool to have when waiting to tee-off or to use when the pace of play is not to a golfer’s liking. To hit a few chip/pitch shots, players need only to set it up and start working on their short game. It's that easy!

Once adjusted to the inverted position and placed on its side, the roomy 62-inch canopy features flexible, nylon pockets (pitching/chipping baskets) that act as targets and collects the ball. The Umbrella Plus™ chipping basket is sized just right, making it an attainable challenge for all skill levels. And for those occasions when the targets are missed, the canopy collects the shots at the base of the umbrella.

Because Umbrella Plus™ is constructed of the same high-quality material and workmanship as the top-of-the-line umbrellas on the market today; it retains all of the functionality of a premium golf umbrella. Yet, it is significantly lighter than other golf umbrellas so it is convenient to have at all times. And, it slips nicely into the umbrella sleeve of any golf bag because it’s an umbrella first.

Umbrella Plus™ is made of ultra-high density P.C. parts, coated nylon fabric that always maintains its original shape as well as fiberglass components that heighten its beauty, functionality and durability. Additionally, small, yet strong, stabilizing loops help the umbrella withstand wind and absorb the golf ball’s impact during practice.
