CHAMP Representation at PGA Expo a Success

 

CHAMP spikes has participated in many venues to showcase products to the golf industry. Each year there are certain venues that are not to be missed and one of them is the PGA Expo. Held last week at the Venetian Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, the PGA Expo once again proved to be the perfect setting to showcase products to consumers, retailers and global distributors for the World Leader in Sport Cleat Technology™.

There was a great buzz about the spike known as the ‘comfort spike’ and the latest in performance tees as many people who received a sample at registration were eager to learn more. The CHAMP booth had a constant flow of customers as the continued launch of the Zarma Collection, which consists of the CHAMP Zarma Spikes and new performance FLYtee™, were of top interest.

“As the VIP Tee Sponsor, CHAMP congratulates the PGA on the success of the 2011 PGA Expo. As a returning exhibitor, the results of this show for CHAMP were extremely positive as was the feedback we received from all who visited the booth,” states Marty Greenwald National Sales Manager of CHAMP / MacNeill Engineering. “The PGA Expo is a forum to educate companies on the reality of what is happening in our industry. One thing that was evident was that golf has embraced the Zarma Collection and that the Zarma Spikes and FLYtee’s are building in momentum and increasing in market share. We leave Vegas once again pleased to have participated, impressed by what the PGA offered this year and extremely optimistic on our direction and the reception of our latest products. All indication is that we will return in earnest for 2012.”
