LAKE MARY, FL – Two companies launching golf training tools will be among the sponsors of the ING Hospitality Room at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando Jan. 27-29, 2011.
Circle Of Trust and Pin High Pro will have their training aids set up for testing in ClubING, the PGA Show home of the non-profit International Network of Golf, the golf industry’s only broad-based networking organization.
The ING Hospitality Room will be open in room 309A throughout the three-day gathering of the golf industry at the Orange County Convention Center. The golf industry is invited to drop in and see what all of the ING buzz is about.
The Circle of Trust provides a proper putting stroke by forcing you to keep your club head low to the ground back and through the hitting zone. This will allow you to release the club down the target line giving you a pure stroke every time.
Here is how the product works: Once the Circle of Trust is attached to the face of your putter, place the golf ball in the center hole. As you begin your backstroke, keep the ball rolling inside the center of the hole. Keep the putter moving down the swing path forward. As you end your stroke, you will need to release your putter toe to send the ball down the target line.
The product can also be logo’d for corporate outings or giveaways, and retails for $19.99. Visit www.circleoftrust.info.
The Pin High Pro’s patent-pending technology acknowledges correct weight shift during the swing by beeping at the exact time a proper front-side weight shift is achieved. This training aid also enforces muscle memory on your downswing, making it easier to consistently create the proper weight shift.
The Pin High Pro weighs about one pound. The faux turf training aid is perfect for practicing just about anywhere. The product is equipped with a cross body strap for fast and simple pick-up. Roll it up, strap it on and go. The Pin High Pro system costs $69.95 and is available at www.PinHighPro.com.
International Network of Golf is beginning its third decade in the golf industry, and the celebration begins at the PGA Show.
ING has been networking the golf industry since 1990. ING’s mission is to enhance and promote communication and education in golf. Media members of all types and sizes comprise approximately 35 percent of the membership. The remaining members are people from every aspect of the golf industry.
Included in a busy ING schedule at the PGA Show will be two awards presentations. The 18th ING Media Awards will be announced at 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, January 27. The 18th Annual ING Industry Honors will recognize achievement in a dozen categories at 12:30 p.m. on Friday.
Also slated for ClubING will be two presentations by Jim Koppenhaver of Pellucid. His annual 2010 State of the Industry discussion will take place Friday, January 28 at 10:30-11:30 a.m. and again at 2:30-3:30 p.m. The Pellucid team will cover the basic metrics in the consumer base, rounds demand, supply absorption, weather impact and revenue for the golf industry, plus more.
Also on tap will be product displays, a Happy Hour Media Reception at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, co-sponsored by TaylorMade Golf and Golfpac Travel, and unwrapping of plans for its 21st ING Spring Conference, set for beautiful Innisbrook Resort May 22-26, 2011.
