Leading Retailer Offers Program to Help Improve Your Game
(TORONTO) – Golf Town – Canada’s largest golf retailer with unequaled selection and competitive prices at 41 locations coast to coast – announces its 2009 Ping Fitting Days, a series of complimentary in-store club fittings with the manufacturer’s experts, are occurring now through May 29.
Available at most Golf Town locations, the club fittings are designed to help golfers find the perfect piece of Ping equipment to enhance their game. During individual appointments, customers will undergo the manufacturer’s five-step fitting process, including an interview, static measurements, dynamic swing test, ball flight observation and monitor performance.
“Purchasing a new set of irons or driver can be a significant investment and club fitting allows our customers the opportunity to tailor equipment to their individual swing,” says Stephen Bebis, President and CEO. “Ping has a heritage of offering leading-edge products and we’re very excited to work with them in helping golfers get the most from their clubs.”
Locations, dates and times of club fittings can be found at www.golftown.com. To schedule an appointment in advance, call your local Golf Town.
