BEAVERTON, Ore. -- In response to overwhelming demand and in an effort to further market the world's newest and most accurate rangefinders, P&M Global, working on behalf of Leupold & Stevens, Inc., has recently hired 20 territory sales managers.
This bold move is designed to expose more courses and independent retailers to the Leupold® GX®-I and GX-II digital laser rangefinders, which have gained widespread acceptance with casual golfers and on the PGA Tour.
"This is very exciting for P&M, Leupold and the golf industry," said Kirk Peglow and Butch Marmon, principles at P&M Global. "Everyone involved is extremely excited that we've been able to bring out a superior product, have 142 PGA TOUR caddies switch to Leupold in six weeks and deliver a product that sells out at retail despite a difficult economy."
"This is another example of Leupold raising the standard within the industry by further applying its marketing capabilities to the hottest category in golf," commented Andrew York, Leupold's vice president of sales, marketing and technology.
Leupold's GX-I and GX-II rangefinders were introduced in mid-2008 and incorporate a host of innovative and proprietary features, including PinHunter™ Laser Technology, True Golf Range and Club Selector. PGA professionals Boo Weekley and Frank Lickliter have endorsed the product, and it is the only rangefinder officially endorsed by the Professional Tour Caddies Association.
