Starting out in 1976 with one of the earliest versions of a synthetic golf glove, they specialize in gloves, but sold several other lines, including putters, umbrellas, bags, and other accessories.

As synthetic gloves slowly gained market acceptance through the late seventies, Valley Forge gained a regional foothold for glove sales in the Mid-Atlantic area. In the mid-1980’s the original owners decided to sell the business to Richard Greene and a small group of backers who started marketing and developing the line on a more national scale, focusing on golf glove sales to pro shops.

Since the early 1990’s Valley Forge has adopted a niche marketing concept that compliments their aggressive product innovation philosophy. Since 1991, they have launched well over a half dozen new “target market golf gloves” and revamped their packaging, making it more retail oriented.

With the growth through the late 1980’s, Valley Forge realized that their brand, as a small market shareholder, would have better success positioning itself in unique product areas that the much larger national brands weren’t interested in. Hence, they reached out to women golfers, youth golfers, older golfers, price conscious buyers, as well as winter players, with a varied array of products.

Heading this parade of unique products is Valley Forge’s unique “WINDSTOPPER® Winter Gloves”. These gloves combine two breathable materials – WINDSTOPPER® fleece backing and Pittards® leather palm – for the ultimate in winter glove breathability, performance and comfort.

The Cabretta-Flex™ Golf Glove is made of top-of-the-line cabretta leather utilizing a vented style design using CoolMax® to add more flexibility and stretch, improving the fit.

Currently, Valley Forge Sports, Inc. has nearly a dozen gloves in its Valley Forge Golf Gloves line. A cresting program is also available. While many of the smaller size glove manufacturers continue to imitate the large market share holders like Foot-Joy, Wilson and Titleist, Valley Forge is actively pursuing the niche marketing philosophy with innovative products targeted to specific customer profiles. As retailers and golf shops feed back positive results regarding sales and ease-of-merchandising, Valley Forge is confident that they are pursuing the right market strategy.

Valley Forge Sports, Inc. manufactures and markets Valley Forge Golf Gloves and accessories in the U.S. and abroad. Valley Forge specializes in synthetic and leather gloves sold through pro shops and other retail facilities. In 1996 the company celebrated its twentieth year in business, having sold well in excess of two million gloves since its start in 1976. The company is represented by a network of 50 representatives and sales agents.
