Golfers can get fit for Wilson Staff equipment and sample new DUO golf ball
CHICAGO – April 18, 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 make stops in South Carolina and North Carolina for a two week duration. Wilson Staff certified custom club fitters and builders will be on hand to educate customers about Wilson Golf equipment, help them test clubs and get clubs properly fit for their swing. All customers who visit the store will have the opportunity to sample the new, super-soft Wilson Staff DUO golf ball or the new tour ball, the FG Tour/FG Tour X.
“This is a great opportunity for customers to get the complete Tour experience just like one of our Tour Professionals in their own home town,” said Tim Clarke, general manager of Wilson Golf. “The Wilson Staff Tour Support Vehicle is truly an educational and positive experience for golfers of all levels looking for the best irons for their game.”
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 (MSRP $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.
Customers can test a wide-variety of award-winning Wilson Staff equipment, including the new Wilson Staff FG Tour V2 irons, the new Ci11 irons or the Di11 irons. These irons each represent the Wilson 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.
