Golfers can properly get fit for Wilson Staff equipment and take it home the same day
CHICAGO – April 4, 2012 – Wilson Golf, the Chicago-based company with more Major iron victories (61) than any other golf club manufacturer, announced today that its Wilson Staff Tour Support Vehicle will be at select Georgia Edwin Watts, Golfsmith and PGA Tour Superstore retail locations starting April 5th through April 14th. Wilson Staff certified custom club fitters and builders will be on hand to service customers and to educate about Wilson Golf equipment, test clubs and get clubs properly fit for their swing.
“The Wilson Staff Tour Support Vehicle will give customers the opportunity to get the complete Tour experience,” said Tim Clarke, general manager of Wilson Golf. “Golf is a very individualized game where every detail is crucial and we’re here to help golfers get fit for the right equipment to improve their game, get clubs custom built on-site and most importantly, taken home the same day.”
Customers who purchase a full set of Wilson Staff irons (Di11, Ci11, FG Tour, FG Tour V2, or FG62 irons) during all Wilson Staff Tour Support Vehicle events will receive a free FG Tour wedge valued at $150 with proof of purchase. In store, customers who either “like” Wilson Golf on Facebook or “follow” @WilsonGolf on Twitter will receive a free gift, no purchase necessary.
“Wilson Staff is committed to providing golfers quality equipment and the opportunity to get clubs personally and professionally fitted just like our Tour professionals Padraig Harrington, Ricky Barnes and Kevin Streelman. Custom fitted clubs will ensure golfers have the right tools to help improve their game and play their best,” said Steve Junkroski, master club fitter for Wilson Golf.
Customers can test a wide-variety of Wilson Staff equipment, including the new Wilson Staff FG Tour V2 irons, the new Ci11 irons, or the Di11 irons. These irons each represent Wilson’s F-C-D (Feel, Control, Distance) family of clubs, which Wilson Staff uses to properly outfit golfers based on their individual skill level and equipment needs.
