Company Receives Third Straight ‘Editors’ Choice’ Honor
ATLANTA, GA (July 13, 2006) – For the third straight year, Golf Digest has named U.S. Kids Golf the industry’s leading junior golf equipment manufacturer. U.S. Kids Golf is the only company in the juniors category to earn the Editors’ Choice honor every year since the Golf Digest Hot List began in 2004.
"The good thing about U.S. Kids is that with each passing year the scope of its commitment to young players expands," Golf Digest Equipment Editor Mike Stachura said.
In the magazine’s August issue, Stachura writes that U.S. Kids Golf’s "commitment to youngsters and golf goes beyond equipment" and references the U.S. Kids Golf World Championship and Personal Tee Learning Program, which are making positively reinforced competition, less intimidating golf course setups and comprehensive instruction available to more youngsters.
Dan Van Horn, founder and president of U.S. Kids Golf, said: "It’s an honor to be recognized by Golf Digest not only for the quality of our products, but also for the commitment we have to help kids and their families enjoy the game and create lasting memories. The conscientious manner in which the editors evaluate the products and contributions of manufacturers in this category makes the award even more meaningful."
In addition to Golf Digest, Hot List rankings reflect the input of editors from Golf World and Golf for Women magazines. Scores are based on five criteria: performance/playability, technology/innovation, personal preference, buzz factor and value.
