May 11, 2021

WINDHAM, N.H., —SQAIRZ, the fastest growing golf shoe company, announced today a new long-term partnership with iconic golf instructor Rick Smith.

Rick Smith has built a long career as a golf instructor for many legendary professional golfers as clients including major champions such as Golfer of the Century Jack Nicklaus, Phil Mickelson (5-time Major Champion) and Lee Janzen (2-time US Open Champion). Additionally, Rick has assisted PGA Tour winners Vijay Singh, David Duval, Paul Azinger, John Daly, Greg Norman, Rory Sabbatini, Chris DiMarco, Rocco Mediate, Jerry Kelly, and Billy Andrade, among others.

Rick is also a renowned golf course designer, communicator, author, television host, brand ambassador, and entrepreneur. Rick Smith is considered one of the foremost experts on the golf swing in the world.

“Rick Smith is one of the most respected instructors in the history of the game of golf,” said Robert Winskowicz, SQAIRZ founder and CEO. “His clientele is a who’s who of the greatest champions of all time. Being able to partner with Rick is one of the biggest honors of my professional career. Rick truly understands the mechanics behind a great golf swing and the importance that golf shoes and ground force connection make in creating consistent shots. We are honored to have him represent the SQAIRZ brand and welcome him to our family with open arms.”

When asked why he partnered with SQAIRZ Rick Smith replied, “I first heard about SQAIRZ last year when a friend of mine sent me a pair. I have developed foot issues over the years as a result of golf shoes that lacked stability and allowed my feet to move within the shoe. With SQAIRZ, I instantly noticed the comfort, structure and quality of these shoes. After hitting only a few balls, I immediately felt the balance, stability, and ground connection. I have taught my entire career that your feet facilitate the key fundamentals of the swing and power in a golf swing comes from the ground, hence the term ‘use the ground’. The science behind SQAIRZ is solid; the balance, stability and ground surface area coverage facilitates more energy exchange with the ground which is how we generate more swing speed and distance. I chose to partner with SQAIRZ and represent the brand simply because I believe that the shoe does what it says it does. I think everyone should give SQAIRZ a try because it really does make a difference.”
