2020 Tour Leadership

Wynding brook golf club

Everywhere you turn at Wynding Brook Golf Club, you see information about Golf Pride grips. Chad Anthony, Director of Golf at the Milton, Pa. semi-private facility, tells us what the club has utilized recently to promote its re-gripping services:
- Restructured the grip slat-wall in the Pro Shop and built custom grip racks in order to more heavily feature Golf Pride grips.
- Regular email promotions to members that advertise grip specials and remind them when it's time to re-grip.
- Golf Pride signs displayed throughout the facility – on golf carts, at the check-in counter at the Pro Shop, at the bar and restaurant on-site, and even in the restrooms!
- Fast re-gripping services offered while customers wait, and within 24 hours if a grip is not in stock.
- Worn grip kept on hand for customers to compare to a new grip, to truly illustrate what grips look and feel like when worn out.
pine barrens golf club

Pine Barrens GC, a private golf facility in the Pinelands of Southern New Jersey, has seen year-over-year grip sales increases with a comprehensive campaign to make members more aware of what Golf Pride grips can do for their game. Bryan DeMarco, PGA Head Golf Professional at Pine Barrens, explains how:
- Using Golf Pride marketing materials and grip displays to raise awareness of new product offerings.
- Displaying Golf Pride signage at various spots throughout the pro shop, as well as in other of the clubhouse – including Men's Locker Rooms.
- Due to the increase in Golf Pride signage, members are coming to the staff wanting to try newest grip technology on one club, often resulting in a re-grip of the entire bag.
