Cerritos, California – January 22, 2009 GolfBuddy, the only GPS rangefinder that comes with pre-loaded courses, announced today that Rick Smith will be making a celebrity at GolfBuddy’s booth during the 2009 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Florida.
Smith is scheduled to make his appearance at booth #3721 on Friday, January 30, from 12:45 p.m. to 1:45 p.m.
Rick Smith is regarded as one of the PGA tour’s best “sounding boards” for swing advice and has been consistently ranked as one of the top five golf instructors in the world by Golf Digest. He has assisted some of the most accomplished golfer in the world including Phil Mickelson, Rocco Mediate and Vijay Singh.
“We’re extremely proud to have Rick Smith on board as part of the GolfBuddy team to represent our company and products. It’s really an honor to partner with someone who has taught so many of the best golfers in the PGA Tour,” said Harry Jung, CEO, GolfBuddy “We are really looking forward to his appearance at our booth this year.”
Smith was featured in GolfBuddy’s 30 minute infomercial that has been airing nationally on the the Golf Channel since October, 2008. The 30 minute infomercial takes an informative approach by taking the standard direct-response infomercial format and combining it with the elements of an instructional television program. Rick Smith provides a wealth of information on how to use GolfBuddy to improve course management during the course of the 30 minute segment.
