May 11, 2005 - PGA TOUR Superstore Adds Two AboutGolf Simulators to Atlanta Area Store in Roswell, Georgia The PGA TOUR Superstore, a revolutionary 65,000 square foot destination golf store which opened March 17 in Roswell, Georgia, has just added two AboutGolf Simulators-taking its total to eight. Having opened with an unprecedented six simulators for club fitting and teaching, the store's initial success has necessitated adding two more. "We certainly thought six simulators would be enough, but store traffic has been very heavy and the AboutGolf Simulators have been an even greater draw than we had anticipated", states Bill Baraban, Director of Teaching and Club Fitting and a PGA Master Professional whose Masters thesis was in Club Fitting. "The AboutGolf Simulator is definitely the best tool available for fitting clubs indoors, and its visual realism makes it a very strong draw." AboutGolf launched its simulator product in early 2003. Their simulator has since become the best selling simulator to large golf retailers who need an inviting and accurate environment to fit clubs. "We continue to strive to not only produce the best indoor golf experience, but to provide the most accurate data and the best tools for indoor club fitting", states Bill Bales, CEO and founder of AboutGolf. The simulator market is taking notice. AboutGolf's sales quadrupled in 2004, and AboutGolf sales will more than double over 2004 this year. Bales projects that sales will continue rapid growth for the next several years via international expansion and the increase in the overall market made possible by the groundbreaking accuracy and functionality of AboutGolf's technology. The two Martin's PGA TOUR Superstores in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina also utilize AboutGolf Simulators. The Roswell store is the third in a planned national expansion of the PGA TOUR Superstore concept. For more information, see: www.pgatoursuperstore.com or www.aboutgolf.com. |
