June 3, 2025 | Aiken, South Carolina & New York, New York –Old Barnwell and B. Draddy are proud to announce a groundbreaking new partnership—one rooted in purpose, aligned values, and a shared belief in the power of golf to bring people together and create lasting impact.
B. Draddy has been named the Exclusive Apparel Mission Partner of Old Barnwell, marking the first official mission partnership in the club’s history. Together, the two organizations will collaborate to support youth and women’s golf, elevate charitable initiatives, and create curated experiences that extend far beyond the game.
B. Draddy is one of three industry-leading golf apparel brands under parent company Summit Golf Brands. B. Draddy’s sister brands Zero Restriction and Fairway & Greene will also play a role in this mission-driven alignment.
"Old Barnwell has built a world-class golf destination with a mission-first philosophy that is inspiring and authentic," said Jack Lessing, President of Summit Golf Brands. "It is one of the most forward-thinking clubs in the world, and their mission to use golf as a force for good resonates deeply with us. We’re honored to have B. Draddy be their first mission partner and to roll up our sleeves in support of the incredible work they’re doing."
The partnership will amplify several of Old Barnwell’s most impactful programs with a focus on ladies and junior golf. This includes the Old Barnwell Derby Match Play—a premier Division I women's collegiate event where B. Draddy will be the title sponsor, and the ANNIKA Development Program—a first-of-its-kind initiative designed to support young women transitioning from elite amateur golf to the professional ranks.
The collaboration will extend into custom B. Draddy apparel collections designed to celebrate Old Barnwell’s mission and culture.
"The focus of this partnership on youth and women's golf is what makes it so special for us," said Chad Delp, Chairman and CEO of Summit Golf Brands. “For more than 30 years, we have been developing leading golf apparel for women and juniors across our brands, and looking for ways to grow and support the game for these often-overlooked demographics. Together with Old Barnwell, we will make an impact on the game of golf that extends far beyond the boundaries of their property or our product collection."
As part of the partnership, B. Draddy will also participate in mentoring and network-building for Old Barnwell’s growing ambassador community, while contributing apparel and support to youth-focused experiences at the club’s acclaimed Kids’ Course. The relationship will also include the creation of a co-branded scholarship fund to support the next generation of players, leaders, and changemakers.
“From the start, Old Barnwell has been about more than golf—it’s about people, opportunity, and using this game to build something lasting,” said Nicholas Schreiber, Founder of Old Barnwell. “Partnering with B. Draddy is a natural extension of that mission. Their commitment to giving back, especially through youth and women’s golf, mirrors everything we believe in. Together, we’re creating a platform that welcomes new voices, supports emerging talent, and honors the responsibility we all have to leave the game better than we found it.”
This partnership marks the beginning of a new chapter in what it means to build meaningful corporate relationships in golf—focusing not just on brand alignment, but on real-world outcomes that matter.
“As a club, we are deeply committed to making golf more accessible and welcoming—and that’s exactly what this partnership with B. Draddy helps us do,” said Kitty Nicastro, Director of Golf at Old Barnwell. “Their support will not only help us expand programs for women and juniors, but it also sets a new standard for what it means to lead with purpose in this sport. It’s exciting to work with a brand that sees the bigger picture.”
For B. Draddy and Old Barnwell, this is just the beginning.
