KEYT’s Dave Alley profiles th effort by San Luis Obispo’s Straight Down to switch its business into mask and gown-making for frontline workers in central California.

The effort is the brainchild of Straight Down’s longtime owner, Mike Rowley.

"I called Alan [Alan Iftiniuk, French Hospital Medical Center President and CEO], he's been a great partner and friend, and I asked, do you need any masks?" said Rowley. "He said we can take all the masks you can get."

Soon afterwards, Rowley checked to see if his manufacturer in China could help out.

"We made a call to them to see if they can make us masks, and they were able to," said Rowley. "So we're able to get to the county hopefully 72,000 masks here in the next week, and 30,000 gowns."

The link above includes the story version that aired on KEYT with more from Rowley. Definitely worth checking out and noting yet another of golf’s great small companies chipping in.
