OnCore Golf Signs Celebrity Artist Brian Kirhagis to Exclusive Deal. Your Swing, Our Ball...It‟s a Work of Art!

OnCore Golf is excited to announce the collaboration and signing of New York City‟s celebrity artist Brian Kirhagis. For over a year, Kirhagis has been integrating his talent with the OnCore team to make an impact in the golf industry.
OnCore Golf is producing and promoting the world‟s first hollow-metal core golf ball; entering a competitive golf ball industry as something of a David against Goliaths.

To differentiate themselves, a part of OnCore‟s marketing strategy is to infuse art and golf. “Your swing, our ball…It‟s a work of art”, states President Bret Blakely, “We‟re trying to highlight the unique, cutting-edge technology that OnCore integrates into a golf ball by applying a completely novel, fresh marketing approach in attracting and exciting golfers about our product. We‟re definitely doing something new and different using Brian and his artwork to showcase our company, just like our product.”

OnCore Golf has sponsored major PGA tournaments in 2012; BMW Charity Pro-Am (Greenville, SC) and the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open (Las Vegas, NV). Gearing up for the tournaments, the OnCore team and Kirhagis wanted to create a memorable experience for the fans. The conjoined parties thought of bringing their marketing concept to life while exhibiting fan interactive paintings and live paintings by Kirhagis.
Fans had the chance to leave their „swing‟ on canvas. OnCore has encouraged fans to directly participate in one-of-a-kind ideas; (1) putting painted OnCore golf balls across canvas leaving lines of symmetry and (2) to collectively leave their personal strokes on canvas where Kirhagis would turn it into one of his works of art. The company was able to incorporate the fan based paintings into their new packing design for 2013.

Kirhagis and OnCore Golf became the pioneers of successfully attempting to paint portraits using only a golf ball as his paint brush. No bristles, just dimples. Below one can see beginning to end masterpieces that were inspired by golf legends and fans alike and finished by Brian Kirhagis himself.
