What PGA Professionals Are Saying
“This is my 22nd year attending the PGA Show, and Demo Day has already exceeded my expectations. The educational events, dynamic products that will improve our driving range experience and strategizing with partners to maximize our retail business are key this week.”Mike Woods, PGA Vice President and General Manager, Haggin Oaks Golf Complex, Sacramento, California
“I am speaking to the folks from Toptracer and learning more about their new driving range technology. If Toptracer is as good as I anticipate it being, it should really increase our range revenues at the World of Golf."Ralph Landrum, PGA General Manager, World of Golf, Florence, Kentucky
“There are several new products that have me excited as a clubfitter, especially with drivers. But my main goal this week is to find out from my fellow fitters what’s working in other parts of the country.”Trent Maxwell, PGA General Manager, Windmill Golf Center, Akron, Ohio
“Students now expect the integration of technology into your teaching. So I upgrade my technology to make sure I am current. One strategy for accomplishing this is making a group purchase with colleagues at this week’s PGA Show. Our group asked a launch-monitor company for the best trade-in value for the units we owned and the best purchase price for new units. As a result, we got very good trade-in value plus 15 percent off the price of our new units.”Nancy Quarcelino, PGA Director of Instruction, Nancy Quarcelino School of Golf, Nashville, Tennessee
“High Definition Golf is one of the premier simulator companies to see. I’ve added two simulators at Baltimore Country Club that have enhanced member experience and value. Blake and his team provide exceptional, professional service.”Tim Bolton, PGA Head Professional, Baltimore Country Club, Timonium, Maryland
“I just checked out Callaway’s offerings, and it’s hard to believe, but I think they have knocked it out of the park once again with the new Rogue line. Last year the EPIC stole the show in our golf shop, but we have plenty of members who didn’t pull the trigger last year that Rogue will be perfect for. I’m excited to get back to my club and share these photos and the story with my membership – should make for another profitable season!”Ian Dalzell, PGA Head Professional, Huntingdon Valley (Pennsylvania) Country Club
