Feel Golf Company, a private company owned & operated by PGA Professionals found some success in attending the Fall PGA Show last week in Las Vegas, NV.
“We were very pleased with the attendance at our booth, both on demo day at the Badlands Driving Range on Monday, and at the Show booth on both Tuesday and Wednesday,” stated Lee Miller, CEO of the Company. “Even with the afternoon storm on Monday at the golf course and the typical slow down during the latter part of any Show’s last day, attendance and new customer interest exceeded our “best guess” estimates. New business is always well received, and overall the Show was very satisfying with new business.”
“Its always satisfying to talk with fellow PGA professionals and the amateurs who are using our “Release” grips as a improved alternative to the traditional golf grips”, stated Greg Cottingham, the Company’s General Manager and a PGA Member. What’s even more interesting is when the PGA members at the Show started sharing their personal improvement with other PGA members – Plus the unique selling benefits at their respective courses and pro shops. Often, we wind up having folks stay around our booth for quite a while discussing the grips and hitting our “High Loft” wedges. These Pro’s come away excited about our 73 and how it can help their shop sales. in many cases, as one mentioned “We have nothing in our shops that’s really new to show our customers, except for the “Same O-Same O, and the old same me too stuff” from the majors. This new “High Loft” wedge display is a definite way for us to offer unique gear to our customers that is only available at some of the larger golfing retailers.”
“Vegas, of course, is always fun and we believe having fun is an important part of the golf business”, stated David Otterbach, the Company’s COO. “When you approach folks with innovative technology that improves their game – allowing for more fun out on the course, it’s a natural “win-win”. Take for instance or innovative 73° wedge – an industry first – that typically gets a lot of quizzical looks at first. So we entice folks to hit it…showing them how easy it is to hit the ball ABOVE the hitting net at the Show! From initial disbelief -to- “I’ve got to try this out!” -to- “Hey, I can really see how this club could shave some strokes off my round around the green!”, it’s a fun process and one that leads to making this wedge our #1 selling wedge in 2008.”
Feel Golf combines the 73° with its other two hi-lofted wedges, the 60° and 64° and offers an 18″x18″display stand that requires only a small “footprint” for the retailer making for an eye-catching way for golfers to try, feel and buy these excellent wedges at their respective stores.
