GlobalGolf.com Utry® Program Now Features GPS and Rangefinders from Leading Manufacturers

(RALEIGH, NC) – Global Value Commerce (GVC) – owner and operator of the North America’s largest e-commerce platform for new and pre-owned golf gear – has added GPS and Rangefinders, including Bushnell and Garmin, to its popular Utry® trial program available through GlobalGolf.com.

Since launching in March 2018, Utry® has provided golfers across the country the opportunity to experience a risk-free process to test the latest equipment from the most respected brands in golf. With the addition of GPS and Rangefinders, Utry® further strengthens GlobalGolf.com’s reputation as a resource for players of all skill levels to try the best equipment for their games when, where and how they want. Knowing the COVID-19 pandemic is top of mind and most retail stores are closed, Utry® is the only safe option for trying brand new equipment, with products arriving in poly bags inside the shipping box giving Customers a greater sense of security.

Consumers simply select the GPS or Rangefinder they would like to test on globalgolf.com/u-try and the company ships it for a $25 trial fee per unit. Within 14 days, customers either keep the device and pay the current list price – less the trial fee – or return it with a prepaid shipping label.

“The response to the Utry® program continues to be positive and it has inspired us to broaden the portfolio of products,” says Ed Byman, CEO of GVC. “Now, golfers can test premier GPS and Rangefinders from the comfort of their home course and not experience time and usage constraints normally associated with the demo process.”

GlobalGolf.com helps all golfers, regardless of their skill level or budget, find the right equipment, apparel and accessories for their games. The company’s ground-breaking Utry®, program is the industry’s first online “try before you buy” offer. It provides the ability to test drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, irons, wedges and putters from top manufacturers for up to two weeks for a small trial fee. After 14 days customers either keep the clubs and pay the current list price – less the trial fee – or return them with a prepaid shipping label.
