Wilson Staff - new SWISS Golf Traveller partner
As of the start of the 2009 golfing season Wilson Staff is SWISS Golf Traveller’s new partner for all things relating directly to the sport. Wilson Staff, the premium line of Wilson golf products, has been developing and producing successful clubs, balls, bags and gloves for the past 95 years. Wilson is also a highly regarded manufacturer of equipment for racquet and team sports and equips such top athletes as Roger Federer and Padraig Harrington.
Padraig Harrington, winner of three of the past six majors, has been relying on Wilson Staff golf clubs for the past 10 years. No other brand of golf equipment has come close to as many major tournament victories as the 62 for Wilson Staff: such illustrious golfers as Nick Faldo, John Daly, Vijay Singh, Bernhard Langer and many others have been winners thanks to our irons and wedges!
Padraig Harrington and our other touring professionals are closely involved in the development and enhancement of new golf clubs. Which is one reason why Wilson Staff is able to consistently introduce exceptionally innovative golf products to the market. The complete line of Wilson Staff equipment for 2009 can be viewed at www.wilsonstaff.com.
SWISS Golf Traveller looks forward to continuing its partnership with Wilson Staff, which brought you benefits as a member right from the start of the 2009 season: in summer we presented the exclusive new Wilson Staff cover bag, which provides you with plenty of space for your golf equipment on your travels. Fitted with wheels, the Wilson Staff cover bag makes transport easy.
