W
orldwide Golf Shops
is always striving to
improve its game –
and with that goal in mind, the
company has recently opened
stores at three new locations.
There's a brand-new Edwin
Watts Golf store in Ellenton,
Florida, while the Ft. Lauderdale,
Florida, Edwin Watts Golf shop
has been relocated to Pompano
Beach, and the Walnut Creek Golf
Mart in California has moved to a
convenient downtown space.
> The Ellenton store, which
opened May 1, serves a need by
filling a geographical gap be-
tween shops in Tampa and Sara-
sota. At 4,500 square feet, it has
an extensive selection of equip-
ment, shoes, bags and apparel.
"Golfers will find great cus-
tomer service and product selec-
tion as well as state-of-the-art
fitting tools," said Erich Mum-
ford, a Regional Manager for
Worldwide Golf Shops in Florida.
"This store will offer customers
all they need to get better and
have more fun playing golf."
> In Pompano Beach, Edwin
Watts Golf was able to find a bet-
ter location than its Ft. Laud-
erdale store and in proximity to
the 36-hole Pompano Beach Golf
Course, one of the busiest public
tracks in Florida. It's also more
convenient because the store is
centrally located within a major
shopping and dining district, and
at 8,000 square feet there's plenty
of space for all the latest gear.
"It is a brighter and more
shopper-friendly store," Mum-
ford said of the shop, which
opened April 28. "Our state-of-
the-art fitting bays, repair center
and selection of gear will give
golfers everything they need."
> The new Walnut Creek
store in California opened April
11 and held a grand opening
event a week later. The massive
15,000-square-foot shop is more
than twice the size of the previ-
ous one, and it features easier
freeway access and more parking.
It also has increased its number
of fitting bays to four.
"The grand opening event was
very well received, with a great
turnout all three days," said Mike
Hasselman, the regional manager
for The Golf Mart in Northern
California. "All of us involved
were like proud parents showing
off our child. The reaction from
customers and vendors has been
nothing but positive."
