WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. – Nov. 22, 2004 – There's a new kind of holiday bonus in the works for golfers bound for Phoenix/Scottsdale. While this one isn't cash from the boss -- it's almost as exciting. Golfers Demo-Renting golf clubs from Gear-To-Go prior to December 31 through any one of six hotels have a chance to go home with something very desirable in their Christmas stocking -- a brand new $132 TaylorMade Rac Chrome 60 degree Lob Wedge. To qualify, golfers must spend a minimum of $190 with Gear-To-Go (approximately a week's rental of clubs from a single manufacturer or five to six days with a mix-and-match set.)
Individuals spending at least $90 for their rental needs are eligible to receive one dozen Maxfli "Noodle" golfballs, a highly regarded brand and a $25 value. To participate, a golfer needs to be registered at one of the six participating hotels: Royal Palms, Arizona Biltmore, Hyatt Regency Scottsdale, Gainey Suites, Chaparral Suites and Resort Suites.
"This is a demo dream package," said Alan Perper, Executive Vice President of Marketing. "A golfer gets to leave his clubs at home, play with a bag full of the leading clubs in the game, and then can go home with a FREE TaylorMade wedge (or a dozen great golf balls). We may even put a holiday bow on it! This kind of golfer's bonus really caps off the holiday season. We are pleased to be able to offer it in conjunction with some of the most prestigious properties in Arizona."
Perper anticipates that many wives and significant others may want to avail themselves of this offer to present to their partners as a great holiday gift. With the introduction of Gear-To-Go's revolutionary new Demo-Rental service, golfers can now travel to play in beautiful resort areas without the hassles associated with carrying their own clubs through airport security systems or shipping them at great expense. Nor do they have to endure the limitations of renting an over-used, single-manufacturer set of clubs from each individual golf course they intend to play.
Gear-To-Go enables golfers to rent the best and newest golf equipment available. Among the choices of clubs in each category are the top two most popular selections on the market today. Golfers are not limited to one manufacturer, but can pick from many to fill out a 14-club bag. They may play with the clubs of their choice on any -- or all -- of the regional courses for as long a rental period as they choose. Renting a standard set of clubs from Gear-To-Go will average only $33/day for a full three-day rental, and $25 per day thereafter. Gear-To-Go, Inc. recommends a three-day advance reservation in order to get the top choice in clubs for business or vacation play.
Golfers may sign up for Gear-To-Go directly or may do so through the concierge at one of the six participating resorts and hotels. To receive the free gift, golfers must first make a hotel reservation, secure the Gear-To-Go promotional code from the hotel and then apply for their clubs on the Gear-To-Go website. Reserving online is easy. To avail themselves of the Gear-To-Go service, customers simply go to the company's convenient website at www.gear-to-go.com, provide their itinerary, select their choice of clubs and check out. Their golf club rental sets will then be ready for either pick-up or delivery when they arrive in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area.
Gear-To-Go clients may either pick up their rental clubs at the company's convenient location adjacent to Sky Harbor Airport or one of seven regional Van's Golf Shops, or have the clubs delivered to their hotel or resort for a $10 fee. Delivery is free for a foursome or more at the same delivery location.
Local Arizona golfers wishing to avail themselves of the Gear-To-Go service can also test the game's latest equipment under actual course conditions before making purchase choices. The company plans to expand its one-of-a-kind Demo-Rental service to golf-centric regions of Florida, Nevada and California in 2005. For more information, go to www.gear-to-go.com.
Gear-To-Go provides golfers a way to by-pass all the headaches associated with carrying or shipping clubs while on golf trips by enabling them to rent the best and latest golf equipment available. Customers simply go to the company's convenient website at www.gear-to-go.com, provide their itinerary, select their choice of clubs and check out. Golfers have a choice of selecting clubs from a single manufacturer or mixing clubs from multiple golf equipment producers.
Their golf club rental sets will then be ready for either pick-up or delivery when they arrive in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. The whole process takes only minutes. Renting a standard set of clubs from Gear-To-Go will average only $33/day for a full three-day rental, and $25 per day thereafter. For further information, go to www.gear-to-go.com.
