G&G Insider - April, 2008

Rep Perspective

CLUBLINK GOES GREEN, MOVES TO ECO FRIENDLY TEE!

What a winter for Ontario! Record snowfalls, snow piled high as of April 1st….will we ever see the start of the golf season? That’s the number one question on the minds of golfers, pros and course owners alike across Ontario, all eager to get started with the 2008 golf season.

One group eager to tee it up is Clublink Corporation, with G&G Golf’s Eco Golf Tees! G&G is ecstatic to have all of the 38 golf clubs in Ontario and Quebec convert from traditional wood to our environmentally friendly Eco tees.

What is an Eco Tee you ask?

A new environmentally friendly golf tee product made from a renewable resource... Plants! These Endurance tees last up to 10 times longer than regular wood tees. Made of biodegradable material, these tees will naturally biodegrade in a composting environment.

Mario Vespa , Capital and Fleet Manager from Clublink sums it up best:

“CLUBLINK MOVES TO ECO FRIENDLY TEES!”

“Clublink Corporation is very excited to announce its most recent partnership with G&G Golf to supply all their golf properties with the Eco Golf Tee. We have found this biodegradable Eco Golf Tee to be extremely durable, allowing us to reduce our tee consumption by more than 30%. Distributing this tee to all our members and guests will help eliminate tee deck litter caused by broken tees; it will also decrease mower damage, lower operating costs, and ultimately provide an eco friendly option for Clublink to improve the quality of product we offer to our membership.”

The number one complaint we hear about wood golf tees is tee box litter and resulting mower damage. The Eco tee rarely breaks. Most golfers will only use one or two tees for an 18 hole round. This can reduce your tee box litter by 90% or more. This is a benefit on the course and on the driving range. The Eco Tee is much softer than wood and does not splinter. No more punctured tires, less time sharpening and replacing damaged mower blades! For Eco Tee samples in your area please contact your local sales rep listed at the bottom of the Newsletter.
