Las Vegas (February 17, 2010) – Dawgs Golf (www.dawgsgolf.com), a superior line of advanced-technology super-lightweight golf footwear, has finalized an agreement with VGM Club to work in partnership with Dawgs Golf and Arrive Golf Group to assist in marketing Dawgs Golf products to VGM’s membership of clubs throughout North America.
“This strategic partnership will help expand our reach even more not only into golf courses, but also into city, yacht tennis and athletic clubs across the U.S. and Canada,” said Steve Mann, founder, president and CEO of Dawgs Golf. “We believe the superior comfort, performance, value and style of our footwear will be of great appeal to the VGM Club membership.”
Dawgs Golf, a division of USA Dawgs, Inc., was formed last year to extend its premium footwear lines into the golf arena, to meet the needs of players for lightweight shoes that offer all the comfort, style and affordability for which Dawgs are known. Dawgs footwear collections are available in select pro shops, green-grass retailers, sporting-goods stores and other golf retail outlets around the country. In addition to its Golf Spirit and Ultralite Golf Spirit shoes, known as ‘the world’s lightest golf shoes’, Dawgs Golf offers its entire line of high-comfort ultra-soft men’s and women’s Firestone-licensed work shoes for grounds- and greenskeepers. For kitchen, restaurant and clubhouse workers, Dawgs Golf offers its new line of extreme-comfort slip-resistant Tracker series of work shoes, including the Tracker Pro and the Ultralite Tracker.
“VGM Club is excited to add Dawgs Golf to its list of participating suppliers,” said Kent Dierks, COO of VGM Club. “With our 3,000 plus green-grass members, the opportunities for the pros to sell the spiked golf shoes and the wait staff being able to purchase the slip-resistant shoes will generate sales to the club as well as provide safety to the restaurant staff.”
Established in 1994, VGM Club is the nation’s largest buying alliance for the golf and club industries, with programs available for hospitality and food service. VGM Club has over 450 supplier and distributor partners who offer its members volume discounts, improved terms, cash rebates and other incentives for all areas of operations. Other benefits for VGM Club members include accredited education seminars, a professional-services consulting group and special programs.
Dawgs Golf Spirit Shoes combine style and function with EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate, or closed cell resin), creating “The World’s Lightest Golf Shoe”, weighing in at 7 ounces for men’s size 9 Spirits and 5 ounces for women’s size 7 Spirits. Yet the Spirit does not sacrifice weight for comfort. Rather, the built-in properties of high-quality EVA act as a shock absorber for the feet. The Golf Spirit has nine strategically-placed soft spikes embedded in a rubber/EVA outsole for surefooted play, confidence and performance. The handsome Spirit shoe is available in six color combinations. Additional features of the Spirit include an adjustable Velcro strap and ventilation holes for cool comfort. The lightweight Spirit is a convenient golf shoe for travel. Due to the success of the men’s and women’s Golf Spirit, Dawgs Golf also offers the boys’ and girls’ Golf Spirit in popular colors.
Dawgs Ultralite Golf Shoes offer features including: extremely light-weight construction; rubber outsole with soft spikes; non-marking; extra-comfort antimicrobial insole; low heel impact; adjustable Velcro strap; arch support; will work with orthotics; ultra soft; super lightweight; easy to clean; and individually boxed with carry handle. Dawgs Ultralite Golf Shoes are available in a variety of colors and sizes for both men and women.
In addition to the Dawgs Golf Spirit Shoes and the Dawgs Ultralite Golf Shoes, the comprehensive lines offered by Dawgs include casual footwear for golfers to wear before and after their rounds. Men’s and women’s Spirits (without spikes), men’s and women’s Flip Flops, men’s and women’s slides, women’s “Z” sandals and women’s 3-straps comprise the variety of selections. All feature great comfort and style.
The original Dawgs company, Double Diamond Distribution, Ltd., was formed in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, in 2005 by Steve Mann and, in 2006, USA Dawgs, Inc. was formed. The concept was then and remains today to provide comfortable, lightweight, affordable performance-based shoes to suit a wide variety of needs. Dawgs Golf shoes carry this tradition to the golf course.
As always, Dawgs are a ‘foot’s best friend’ and Dawgs Golf shoes are a ‘golfer’s best friend.’
