LOUISVILLE, Ky. â?” The world’s largest international organization of golf equipment professionals, the Professional Clubmakers’ Society (PCS) welcomes Bushnell® Outdoor Products as a new exhibitor at the 2008 PCS Golf Equipment Professional Technology Conference at the Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club in Palm Harbor, Fla., January 12, 2008 through January 15, 2008.
"Bushnell has created products that benefit not only the best golfers in the world, but players of all skill levels, and we’re very excited to announce their support and attendance to this year’s PCS Golf Equipment Professional Technology Conference," says Carol Huff, manager of membership and partner relations for the Professional Clubmakers’ Society.

Based in Overland Park, Kan., Bushnell Outdoor Products is the worldwide leader in sports optics, outdoor accessories and eyewear, and maker of the No. 1 laser rangefinders on the PGA Tour. Use of rangefinders first soared in 2006 when the USGA ruled to allow distance measuring devices for tournament play and for posting handicap scores, and the demand for Bushnell products has continued to build momentum ever since. Today, Bushnell offers three different models â?” Pinseeker 1500 Series, Medalist and Yardage Pro Tour â?” that all cater to various types of golfers with different needs.

"The conference will also provide attendees with a first-of-its-kind interactive ‘demo day’ experience," adds Huff. "Golf equipment vendors will be located across one of Innisbrook’s world-class 18-hole golf courses, and PCS members will have the opportunity to play test new products on the course and casually visit with vendors. We’re all looking forward to it."
