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 is looking forward to teaming up with Wilson Staff, especially as this new partnership delivers benefits to members of SWISS Golf Traveller right from the start of the 2009 season. As early as this summer we will be able to present an exclusive new Wilson Staff cover bag for your golf equipment. This new club cover bag has plenty of space for your golf equipment and is fitted with wheels for convenient transport. You can look forward to more information about this new product at Trophies events and in the June Newsletter.
Trophy participants can look forward to plenty of treats this year. We look forward to treating you to attractive Wilson Staff give-aways and prizes.
But SWISS Golf Traveller Trophy participants are not alone in benefitting from this new partnership. By June 2009 you can read exclusive tips and tricks offered by Padraig Harrington and get ready for a successful golfing season in 2009.
