Golf Vic Vol 60 No 3 2019

PING has recently opened a state-of-the- art Fitting Centre based in the heart of the Melbourne sandbelt. The by-appointment studio will service golfers throughout Victoria with the latest technology, ensuring that your next set of PING golf clubs helps you play your best and leads to lower scores. National Sales Manager Brad Glass explains that whilst PING will maintain a presence on course with the PING Fitting Van visiting golf courses through Victoria, the studio will help support golfers who prefer to be custom-fitted within the indoor environment. “We have been looking at opening a fitting centre in Melbourne for some years and are excited that we are now in a position to offer this service in Melbourne. We are very fortunate that our customers tend to be incredibly loyal and it is great to be able to reward that loyalty with a fitting facility located within a few kilometers of some of Australia’s very best golf courses.” The timing of the launch is ideal. PING has recently launched the G410 family of products and this series joins the iron families i210, i500, iBlade and, of course, the GLE range engineered specifically for women. There will also be a continued focus on putters with putter fitting being elevated to the first club in the bag to be fitted when requested. The recently released Sigma 2 putter range has helped PING awaken from a ‘putter-slumber’ and rocketed the brand right back into the market place. Glass explains: “Brands love to have a competitive advantage and we have it here with the Sigma 2 putters. With the adjustable length option available in the Sigma 2 range, we now are in a unique position of being able to custom fit the golfers’ length and stroke type and have them walk out of the shop with a putter built specifically for them. “ To arrange an appointment simply contact your local authorized PING retailer or email Matt Austin at matta@americangolf.com.au . Marysville Caravan and Holiday Park is set in Marysville itself – 2km from the Marysville Golf Club, within walking distance to the hotel, coffee shops, local supermarket plus much more. Sit by the river with a little wine from one of our local wineries, enjoy the surrounding trees and birds (who are very friendly). Less than 10 minute drive to the beautiful Steavensons Falls.
