Revolutionary Practice System on Display at Demo Day and Booth #1625
(ATLANTA, GA) – National Golf Products (NGP) announces that THE Golf Mat – its revolutionary practice system that offers the same sensation of “give” at impact as taking a divot off natural grass – will be on display at the 2008 PGA Merchandise Show (Booth #1625) and available to test during Demo Day on tee area #4 at the Orange County National Golf Center practice facility.
Endorsed by three-time major winner Vijay Singh and recognized as the preferred practice surface of the NCAA No.1 ranked University of Georgia men’s golf team, THE Golf Mat was developed based on feedback from leading teaching professionals, college coaches and top-flight amateurs. This system utilizes a patented high tech composite spring embedded below fairway-length turf to produce the first “true grass” alternative.
“Every year thousands of golfers ruin their golf swings and damage their bodies by practicing on traditional mats,” says Jon Leven, CEO of NGP. “We’re helping to change that by offering a complete practice system that allows players to take what they learn on the range to the course without losing anything in translation.”
THE Golf Mat mitigates the likelihood of wrist, elbow and other common injuries by encouraging a proper “down and through” swing motion that facilitates ideal trajectory, maximum control and lower scores. Portable and requiring no installation, it is designed to make practice easier and more convenient. Perfect for backyards or ranges, the system features a distinctive, adjustable tee that allows golfers to position the ball according to personal preferences.
THE Golf Mat practice system is available in a variety of pricing packages starting at $199 for consumers and $170 for facilities ordering in bulk. Its typical life-span is more than 200,000 swings, far exceeding that of traditional mats.
The practice surface of choice at numerous high-profile colleges and universities, THE Golf Mat is used at prestigious facilities nationwide that recognize the potential to increase revenues by encouraging longer and more frequent practice sessions. These include Ansley Golf Club at Settindown Creek (GA), Black Diamond Ranch (FL), Charter Oaks Country Club (MA), Coyote Ridge Golf Club (TX), Harvey Penick Golf Academy (TX), Muirfield Village Golf Club (OH), Pilgrim’s Run Golf Course (MI) and the University of Notre Dame (IN). This system is sold at better pro shops and golf-specific retailers nationwide, including all Golfsmith locations, as well as online at THE Golf Mat website.
