THE BEGINNING

He stood at the 18^th tee. A glance at the Leader Board told him all he needed to know. Eagle on the challenging closing hole would guarantee a spot in the final round of the BMW Nationwide Tour Pro-AM. A monster drive split the fairway giving him a chance and leaving him the last to play.

Standing in the fairway awaiting the group ahead to clear, he rolled his neck to release the stress building and dropped to a squat to allow the muscles in his back and legs to stretch. After three days of walking the challenging mountain courses, his body had taken a beating. His feet were sore, blistered, and bleeding in spots. He turned to his caddy and asked, "Why doesn't anyone make a great golf sock?"

The second shot failed to reach. It was a shot he could have made. Fatigue had set in. "With a little more gas in the tank maybe things would have been different," he thought. Birdie on 18th sealed his fate. As he limped off the green, his caddy turned to him and said, "I do not know, but why don't you make one!"

The player was Mark Kent, CEO of KENTWOOL, and like most accomplished players, he took his caddy’s advice!

What happened next is the "rest of the story!"

MAKING THE WORLD'S BEST GOLF SOCK

Mark Kent grew up under the wings of a quality-driven father who also was a mentor to his son. Now it was the son's turn to show his father the lessons he'd learned.

Combing his knowledge of the game and years of experience with innovative manufacturing, Mark took his initial design ideas and laid them out on a table. Around the table sat a group of people whom the CEO felt could make his ideas a reality. He told the group assembled, "We are here to make 'The World's Best Golf Sock!'"

The first question from the table was, "OK, what price points do we need to meet?" After a short pause, Mark replied, "You don't seem to understand. We are not here to make the world's best golf sock that can sell for ten dollars. We are here to make the World's Best Golf Sock first and foremost! Now let's get started!"

And start, they did!

The initial KENTWOOL sock was finished in late 2008. While the members of the team were pleased with what they had achieved, nothing would prove them right unless the professionals whose livelihood depended on golf took them out for a test.

CEO, Mark Kent wanted someone with ties to South Carolina since KENTWOOL is a Palmetto State company. Born in Conway, SC, University of South Carolina and LPGA star, Kristy McPherson fit the bill and answered the call in early January 2009. Flying to Tampa, Mark met with Kristy and she agreed to wear test the product. Playing with them for the first time in the Kraft-Nabisco Tournament (the first major of the year), Kristy finished second, losing by one shot to an eagle on 18. After the tournament, Kristy called and asked, "Mark can I have some more socks?" The beginning of the KENTWOOL sock legend was born! Kristy would go on to have her best year on the LPGA Tour with a list of accomplishments including top ten finishes in all four majors and a victorious Solheim Cup for the United States!
