What’s Selling
PUBLIC FACILITIES
This monthly installment is intended to educate PGA Professionals about the
hottest selling golf shop items across the country. We polled the 2000–08
PGA Section Merchandisers of the Year in the public, private, and resort categories, plus Association of Golf Merchandisers (AGM) members. A summary of the
public facilities’ responses appears below. Please remember that this poll is based on
a limited number of responses and is an informal measure of actual performance.
Editor’s note: For the apparel, outerwear and headwear categories, the chart below reflects
a breakout of facilities with green fees above and below 50.
Bionic gloves
EP Pro apparel
Scotty Cameron putters
Here’s what PGA Professionals are saying:
• “Men’s apparel from Nike has been a consistent performer.”
• “Titleist golf balls continue to sell through. Where is the competition?”
• “Ecco footwear is hot right now!”
