PGA Merchandise Show 2012
The PGA Merchandise Show took place in Orlando, Florida last week January 25th to 28th. All of the large golf suppliers use this show to introduce new products for the upcoming golf season. Since we are a Titleist Golf Shop we were interested to see what new and improved Titleist equipment was launched.
Titleist has introduced four new golf balls to its lineup with the unveiling of the NXT Tour, NXT Tour S, Velocity and DT SoLo at the PGA Merchandise Show.
“Our golf ball product development process is the same for all Titleist golf balls,” said Bill Morgan, senior vice president of golf ball research and development.“It always starts with golfer testing where we identify performance improvements that will help golfers score better and determine what their preference options are,” he added.“New Titleist NXT Tour, NXT Tour S, Velocity and DT SoLo are the result of that process and deliver the best scoring performance and quality within their respective segment,” he said.
The new products will begin shipping to golf shops in February and since we are a Titleist shop we will be carrying all four of the new golf balls for the 2012 season – NXT Tour, NXT Tour S, Velocity and DT SoLo .
Follow us on Facebook and Twitter to find out when they arrive or stop by the golf shop anytime.

Do you wear a golf glove?
The “glove or no-glove” debate has been around since gloves were invented. Normally golfers wear one glove to gain an improved grip on the club. In hotter months and climates sweat on your hand and the club can make gripping difficult without a glove. Those golfers that do not wear a glove state better feel for the club and club head direction when not wearing a glove. This is why gloves are rarely worn when putting.
Some golfers choose to wear two gloves year round. Reasons might include help with blisters, a feeling of improved grip, or even fashion. But whether you choose to wear no glove, one glove or two gloves there is sometimes a good reason to wear two – and that is the rainy, winter season in Vancouver.
FootJoy Rain Grip Gloves
Winter golf gloves are designed to both keep your hands warm and dry and to provide better grip during your swing. There are many types of winter golf gloves out there. The golf shop at Fraserview is primary a Titleist and FootJoy shop so we carry the FootJoy RainGrip glove.The microfiber palm helps your grip in wet conditions. The QwikDry knit material along the back of the hand helps with breathability and flexibility and is quick to dry after the rain. There are bands on the back of the glove to allow for easy tee access and the gloves are always sold in pairs.
Rain and cloud is no reason to stop golfing. With the right company and the right equipment it can be just as fun as in summer, and you will have less people in front of you on the course. For more information on the RainGrip glove visit the
FootJoy website.
