Tarek “Ty” DeLavallade is a native of Chicago and Serial Entrepreneur. After being as he says “fortunately” laid off from the publishing industry he moved from the Maryland/DC Area to Orlando to blend his passion for golf and traveling into a quickly profitable business. Golf Quests quickly became a global tour operator for small to large groups of leisure and corporate golfers. After launching the company in 2010, he never allowed initial challenges in the industry to hinder his goals within the tourism industry that he initially knew nothing about. He quickly realized that he was the only Black Owned golf travel company globally and that presented its own challenges. In 2019, he launched Deuce Premium as a challenge to himself because many African Americans frequently complained that there were very few if any Black Owned golf apparel or accessory companies to choose from for those who were looking. Deuce is a blend of two collections - Golf and Lifestyle. The two collections have become the preferred brand for many fashion-forward golfers, cigar aficionados and trendsetter travelers. As the game of golf continues to attract more players, fashion has evolved into an essential part of the golf game – enter Deuce Premium. They also offer seasonal and limited-edition golf gloves, hat, and belt combinations along with exclusive custom leather cigar pouches and accessories. Deuce Premium will reflect everything that the game of golf is becoming; inclusive, exciting, daring, and bold! In early 2020, Tarek decided to revive the oldest Black golf association - United Golfers Association (UGA) that was founded in 1925. His inspiration was a significant gap in African Americans on the Professional Golf Tours and throughout the industry. Also in 2020, Black Golf Wire was launched to feature the back stories of our pioneers and current golfers. It also features golf industry news, press releases, product and travel reviews, video coverage, and more from established and aspiring bloggers, authors, journalists, photographers and videographers.
