  • Stadium Nysatsar På Golf Med Fanny Sunesson Som Produktexpert
    Stadium nysatsar på golf med Fanny Sunesson som produktexpert – Vår mission är att underlätta urvalsprocessen och göra golfen enklare för alla som går in för sin golf, berättar Rikard Blomstrand, som driver golfsatsningen på Stadium. Därför har vi låtit en jury bestående av duktiga golfprofiler välja ut de bästa produkterna åt våra golfkonsumenter. Stadium tror på en stark utveckling för golf framöver och satsar på ett starkare och bättre sortiment än någonsin, Självklart i specialbutiken Stadium Golf och på nätet, men framför allt i de “vanliga” Stadiumbutikerna. Sammanlagt 245 olika klubbmodeller har passerat juryns nålsöga, vilket betyder att de uppfyller mycket höga krav på precision och prestanda. – Med mina 20 års erfarenhet från Tourerna hop- pas jag kunna hjälpa Stadiums kunder med sina klubbval, säger Fanny Sunesson Alla 245 klubbmodellerna finns på Stadium Golf i Ängelholm och på www.stadium.se. Av dessa har juryn sedan valt ut 71 modeller som fått s k “grönt kort” och utgör vårens klubbsortiment på landets övriga Stadiumbutiker med golf. Detta är de mest prisvärda och presterande produkterna för vanliga golfare, enligt juryns bedömning. Juryn har också tagit fram en guide till rätt utrustning som delas ut gratis till golfin- tresserade i butikerna. Det är en välmatad pocketbok med juryns utvalda golfutrustning 2008 och med mängder av tips och förklaringar för den som ska investera i nya klub- bor. Finns i butik i maj. Hela juryn presenteras på nästa sida För mer information om juryn och Stadiums golfsatsning och pressbilder, kontakta Rikard Blomstrand, 0708 51 00 01, [email protected].
