Pro Defender Series announces agreement with Arrive Golf Group

LONDON -- Pro Defender Series, the world's leader in manufacturing golf bag anti-theft devices has signed a deal with Arrive Golf Group to facilitate sales in the United States.

Originally introduced in the UK to rave reviews to counter the growing problem in stolen goods abroad, The Pro Defender Series of uniquely designed, anti-theft devices are a world leader in protecting golf equipment. Pro Defender has been featured in leading UK titles including Britain's best-selling golf magazine Today's Golfer and Golf Monthly magazine featured it as 'Gadget of the Month' for September 2009.

Pro Defender protects golfers valuables from the estimated $120 Million worth of golf equipment stolen from golf clubs in the U.S. every year. The sophisticated, remote controlled alarm system effectively warns of unauthorized movement of a golf bag by sending a radio signal to a pocket-sized remote receiver held by the owner. A patented, battery-operated alarm device is housed within a rubber-coated golf ball that is activated by movement and sends out an instant warning signal to the key fob that vibrates and then sounds an alarm.

The Pro Defender Series bag alarm retails for $49.99, and will be available in December 2009 at fine retailers including Edwin Watts, PGA TOUR Superstores and TGW to name a few. Inventor and Managing Director of Pro Defender Series, Matt Gilewicz said, "Golf equipment theft is a global problem that needs addressing. With the help of retailers like these we will reach more golfers with our preventative product and do our bit to combat crime." Gilewicz was the victim himself of club theft on two occasions at golf venues in Hertfordshire, England. "Golf bags full of expensive equipment are a prime target for the opportunist thief who can simply walk up to an unattended bag and carry it away," he continued.

Pro Defender Series golf bag alarm will be available in stores, nationwide December 2009.
