VISTA, CA. – Jan. 24, 2005 – La Jolla Club Golf Company has announced that 2005 marks the 10-year anniversary of the introduction of its popular line of junior clubs.
“Our Junior Clubs have always been a significant part of our business,” said Paul Herber, President, La Jolla Club Golf Company. “In fact, Snoopyä is the #1 selling brand in junior golf and features seven custom sizes for ages 2 - 17. As a celebration of the anniversary, we will be offering new programs and promotions during 2005 and are looking forward to continued growth in this segment of the industry.”
La Jolla Club will begin the year-long anniversary celebration at the PGA Show January 27 – 30 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL. “We’ve hired an up and coming band called 34 Below to perform live in our booth during the show,” continued Herber. “They recently signed a recording deal and just finished a new CD. Visitors to our booth (#2935) will be the first to receive a copy of this new CD.”
La Jolla Club offers junior clubs for ages 2-17 in 7 different sizes and 18 different calibrated shaft options. This has firmly established LJC as #1 in junior golf. The company first introduced Super Flexä junior shafts with “2-in-1” combination grips and heads back in 1991. As the shafts get shorter, they are more flexible, unlike cut-down adult shafts.
Triple Notchä shafts have a progressive low kick that address the different shot requirements of woods, utility woods and irons. By casting three “Power Notches” to stiffen the upper half of the shaft, the kick point is dramatically lowered. The lower kick point significantly improves the club’s launch angle and increases club head speed. Improved launch angles promote higher ball flight, while increased club head speeds generate more distance.
The Snoopyä set includes a wood, iron and putter that captures the magic of Snoopy and his Peanutsä friends. A key to Snoopy’s success is its appearance and appeal to kids and parents, and its performance appeals to golf pros. Snoopy is both attractive and functional. The calibrated 25+ mph Super Flex shaft is the perfect shaft to get a junior golfer started the right way. The Snoopy junior sets (wood, iron and putter) are available in right or left-handed, in carry or stand bags, and in two sizes (ages 2-4 and ages 4-6).
The Junior Sets (ages 6-12) are available in three sizes in Super Flex or Triple Notch shafts in combination single clubs: 1/3, 5/7 woods and 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 9P and S/L irons, and a putter. The Teen Sets (ages 12-17) are available in two sizes in Triple Notch Sets in full 3 wood and 8 iron sets.
The suggested retail price for the Snoopy and Junior sets varies from $69.95 - $199.95. The full set of Teen clubs has a suggested retail price of $350.00.
