Leemhuis, who becomes the brand’s first full time sales representative in the U.S., brings more than 13 years of sales experience to the role.

“I’m honored to represent such an iconic golf brand as Galvin Green, renowned for its award-winning heritage of innovation and its market-leading commitment to sustainability,” Leemhuis said. “I look forward to strengthening my relationships with top venues across the Met Section and Mid-Atlantic regions, while continuing to showcase why Galvin Green stands as the premier choice for retailers—offering the highest-performing golf apparel crafted from the most responsibly sourced materials.”
Commenting on Leemhuis’s hiring, Lou Delfino, General Manager of Galvin Green in North America said: “We’re delighted to appoint Matt as our first full-time sales representative in the U.S. at a very exciting time of growth for the brand in North America. He brings a high level of experience to our team and is eager to showcase the best golf apparel that money can buy to some of the most premium venues that align with our brand.”
