McHenry, Illinois (February 4, 2010) – The Putting Game, an entertaining game and powerful training aid all in one, was awarded an International Network of Golf (ING) Industry Honor Award in the Product Ingenuity – Emerging Companies category at last week’s PGA Merchandise Show.
“We are extremely thrilled to have won this award,” said Fred Knecht, Director of Sales & Marketing. “The credit goes to our expert team of golf savvy engineers and all the ‘out-of-the-box’ creative thinkers here at NE1 Golf who made this product possible.”
Called by some the “Academy Awards of the golf industry,” the ING Industry Honors program is conducted yearly by the non-profit, 20-year-old International Network Of Golf to recognize outstanding achievement in the golf business.
Nominees in a dozen categories are accepted throughout the year from anyone in the golf industry. Sub-committees that include experts in each category then trim the entries to the top three in each category. ING members then vote electronically to determine the winners, who are announced and recognized at the Industry Honors Presentation Press Conference Friday in ClubING in the Orange County Convention Center.
The Putting Game debuted at the last year’s PGA Merchandise Show to rave reviews.
“Consumers like that the product is entertaining and fun, yet, is also an extremely powerful training aid,” said Knecht.
The games provide precise, instant feedback and are challenging enough so that no matter what the player’s skill level, performance improves.
The Putting Game is different from the other training aids as it has a “virtual cup” (not a physical cup) and it is “Stimp aware” to provide feedback on putt distance.
Accessories for the training aid include a multi-plug A/C adapter, The Putting Mat, and a custom carrying case.
with six challenging games, The Putting Game can be purchased on the company’s web site; a limited number of pro shops; or in a select list of popular mail order catalogs including Frontgate Catalog, Hammacher Schelmmer, Herrington, SkyMall, and United Hemispheres. The Putting Game sells at the MSRP of $329.99. Preloaded
