Cizzle Brands will be providing sales support for Golf Town store personnel to help golfers of all ages and at all levels to elevate their hydration game. The placement of CWENCH Hydration™ with Golf Town adds to the brand's presence in Canadian golf, a footprint that Cizzle Brands has been actively building out through grassroots initiatives that include becoming the Official Hydration Drink of the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (where every junior golfer participating in the 90 events nationwide will be provided with CWENCH) and the title sponsor of the MJT CWENCH Classic in August, as well as becoming the Official Hydration Drink of the Durham Junior Golf Tour. The Company is also pleased to announce that CWENCH Hydration™ will be available at prestigious golf courses and country clubs across Canada, including the Toronto Golf Club, Piper's Heath Golf Club, Hamilton Golf and Country Club, and Magna Golf Club.

Being a game that's typically played outdoors in the sun, golfers know how important it is to stay hydrated as a key factor in both their enjoyment and overall performance. We're excited about building the CWENCH brand in the world of golf. Between launching the product in one of Canada's leading golf retailers, sponsoring two very well-known junior golf tours, and making the product available at prestigious courses and country clubs, we've taken a big step forward in doing so.'
