COME RAIN OR SHINE!
Aqua Greens is proud to play a small part in this year’s Travelers Championship "15-1/2 Hole Challenge." The floating umbrella green pictured here was custom built by Aqua Greens for a social media content shoot promoting the Challenge. The 10’ x 10’ replica of the iconic Travelers red umbrella logo is about one-quarter the size of the actual green used in the competition.
"I get asked all of the time if we built the floating umbrella for the Travelers Championship," said Aqua Greens owner Matt Gault. "We didn't, so to get a call from them and get asked to do a replica of the green, it was pretty cool. It's a unique, very recognizable brand and was a fun design to build."
The canopy of the replica umbrella is 4' x 10' and the length of the handle and stem is 6 feet. Gault notes that this is perfect size for a short shot of 20 to 30 yards, not the 85-yard shot that will be the distance at the Travelers.
Aqua Greens also built a smaller 4’ x 4’ replica green for former New England Patriots' star wide receiver Julian Edelman and social media influencers Tisha Alyn Abrea, roger_steele and Josh Kelley to practice on for next week’s Challenge.
Tune in next Tuesday, June 23, at 2 p.m., on the PGA TOUR's YouTube channel to see the four compete in a closest-to-the-pin challenge with the winner receiving a $10,000 donation for the charity of their choice. Today co-host Carson Daly will be hosting the event. Current PGA TOUR stars Rickie Fowler, Chris Gotterup, Tony Finau, Viktor Hovland, Xander Schauffele and J.J. Spaun all took part in the March content shoot, offering tips and advice to Alyn, Steele and Kelley. This weekend, Spaun is attempting to become the first player to go back to back at the U.S. Open Championship since Brooks Koepka in 2017-'18.
