PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL, April 8, 2011 – The EWGA (Executive Women’s Golf Association) has named the online resource Girlfriends’ Golf Getaways as a member benefits provider and the official sponsor for the “EWGA Golf PROmotion” program.
Girlfriends’ Golf Getaway is the first website of its kind to market directly to women who golf while on vacation with family, friends, and for business. They offer distinctive services for traveling golfers who seek assistance with their accommodations, tee times, golf clinics, spa experiences, dinner reservations, transportation, and other leisure activities. The site was designed to provide women with a time-saving resource and virtual booking agent to research, customize, and reserve women’s travel needs versus toiling through these tasks separately on multiple sites. See www.girlfriendsgolfgetaway.com
The “EWGA Golf PROmotion” is a free program designed to help LPGA and PGA golf professionals promote their business and services to the organization’s nearly 20,000 members. Professionals simply complete a brief registration form to be promoted on the EWGA website at www.ewga.com. In return, professionals are provided with EWGA promotional materials and asked to promote membership in the EWGA at their facilities. For more information on the EWGA Golf PROmotion program see www.ewga.com and click on the Golf PROmotion button on the right side of the association’s home page.
“We welcome Girlfriends’ Golf Getaways as the official sponsor for the “EWGA Golf PROmotion” web page. We encourage LPGA and PGA golf professionals to showcase their expertise on our nationwide online platform that gets thousands of visits each week,” says Pam Swensen, CEO of the EWGA. “This is great advertising for both GGG and the professionals and their businesses to reach a highly targeted audience of avid women golfers who each spend thousands of dollars on golf each year.”
A 2010 survey of EWGA members conducted by the PGA of America found that the average EWGA member plays 35 rounds per year. EWGA members spent an average of $4,533 on golf activities, merchandise and golf related travel, with each local EWGA chapter annually generating $550,000 in golf related spending and an average of 4,300 rounds of golf. With over 120 chapters throughout the United States, as well as international chapters in Canada, the EWGA represents nearly $70 million to the golf industry.
Since its founding in 1991 as the Executive Women’s Golf Association, the EWGA has touched the lives of more than 100,000 women connecting them to learn, play, and enjoy golf for business and fun. This tax-exempt association delivers a wide range of golf, social and networking activities for both new and experienced golfers. The EWGA is headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
