April 02 2012 - 10:00AM
Imagine this – you walk into your local Golfsmith, try out the
hottest new Nike Golf clubs and win the chance to play golf with
Tiger Woods. This will be a reality for one lucky winner and three
of their friends!
Golfsmith International Holdings, Inc.
(Nasdaq:GOLF), the nation's largest golf specialty retailer, has
teamed up with Nike Golf for the NIKE VR_S Golfsmith Speed
Trial Sweepstakes. Consumers can visit any one of the 82
Golfsmith locations, demo Nike's fastest club lineup ever - the
VR_S club line - and get registered for a chance to play
golf with one of the game's greatest golfers, Tiger
Woods.
In one of the most robust consumer trial programs Nike Golf has
ever introduced, Golfsmith is challenging consumers to compare the
speed and distance of clubs in their current bag, as well as other
demo clubs, to the new Nike VR_S products on a launch monitor.
Participants' cumulative distances are tallied and recorded on a
national leaderboard taken from country clubs and other retailers
coast to coast, so individuals can see their results featured on
www.nikegolf.com/speedtrials. To find the Golfsmith Speed Trials
event nearest you visit www.golfsmith.com/speedtrials.
