What PGA Professionals Are Saying
“I’m excited about the 2018 fall line of Peter Millar –such a power selling brand in the shop. Tom Sluiter, our sales rep, is second to none. I’m also a big fan of the 2018 PRG accessories line, as they have great quality margin building items and Tonya and the sales team do a great job in exceeding our expectations.”Andy Fortner, PGA Head Professional, Pete Dye Course at French Lick (Indiana) Resort
“Although Ping is our primary brand at Canyon Springs, we get requests for clubs from various other companies, as well. It is important to speak to them, discover the benefits of different clubs and find the perfect ones for each individual golfer we have back home. Today’s PGA Show Demo Day and the PGA Merchandise Show, as a whole, provide us with that knowledge.”Zach Abels, PGA Head Professional, Canyon Springs Golf Course, Twin Falls, Idaho
“Due to some of the PGA Show specials this week, we plan to take advantage of great pricing and terms that will increase our overall bottom line. With annual sales averaging $370,000 over the past five years, it brings us back to the PGA Merchandise Show time and again.”Brian Short, PGA Head Professional, Penn State Golf Courses, State College, Pennsylvania
“Callaway’s jailbreak technology was ‘epic’ in 2017. But after seeing the new Rogue lineup with Callaway having the jailbreak technology in fairway woods and hybrids too, I can’t wait for my members at Meridian Hills Country Club to get their hands on them this spring!”Todd Firestone, PGA Head Professional, Meridian Hills Country Club, Indianapolis, Indiana
“With destination, timeframe and number of participants in mind, I will speak to the travel vendors on the PGA Show floor to determine and discover the best fit for my next member travel excursion. Show pricing helps make the trip a little more affordable for everyone involved, and the ease of communication (face-to-face) and array of options make booking easy and comfortable.”Robin Shelton, PGA General Manager, SeaCliff Country Club, Huntington Beach, California
“I have been in dire need of uneven lies for my teaching outfit, so ToughLie 360 was naturally my first stop on the Show floor. I look forward to using this device to add value and multiple programming options to my teaching repertoire.”Mark Egly, PGA, six-time Iowa Teacher of the Year recipient
