It is with great anticipation that Golf World Magazine and the Association of Golf Merchandisers (AGM) have combined efforts to streamline the entry process for two of the golf industry’s most prestigious award programs – Golf World’s 100 Best Golf Shops and the AGM’s Front Nine Awards.
“Partnering with the AGM, whose membership includes some of the most creative and successful retailers in the business, is an exciting opportunity for Golf World,” said editor-in-chief, Geoff Russell.
Although both awards will share a common entry form, each program will continue to have its own set of judging criteria. All entries will be sent directly to AGM Headquarters and we will be responsible for judging the entries and determining the winners.
“We are pleased to join forces with Golf World Magazine in this important endeavor for our industry,” noted Desane Blaney, AGM Executive Director. “With the streamlined process, we anticipate that more PGA golf professionals, buyers, and merchandisers will enter the competitions. We hope that golf shops across the country and beyond will turn in applications to be considered the best of the best.”
The official entry form may be accessed via the AGM website, www.agmgolf.org and the firm deadline date for entries for both award programs is October 26, 2009.
