PGA TOUR Superstores have had a significant impact on the World Amateur Handicap Championship since joining the tournament as its title sponsor two years ago, nowhere more so than in the World’s Largest 19th Hole. PGA TOUR Superstores have enhanced the already festive atmosphere at the 19th Hole through its 100,000-square foot “SUPERSTORE,” the tournament’s on-site retail home.

The PGA TOUR “SUPERSTORE” transforms the Myrtle Beach Convention Center into an interactive golf expo, complete with indoor putting and chipping greens, golf simulators and a virtual swing lab. PGA Professionals are also on-site with state-of-the-art launch monitors and swing simulators to help golfers select clubs that are best suited to their game.

The interactive golf expo at the World’s Largest 19th Hole, which many liken to a mini-PGA Show, also makes products not yet on the market available for testing and manufacturer reps are on hand to provide  insight about their product. With all of the game’s leading club and apparel manufacturers on display, the “SUPERSTORE” is a dazzling showcase of the best the game has to offer.

The relationship between the World Amateur and PGA TOUR Superstores is a symbiotic one. Both the tournament and its title sponsor have risen to prominence by providing avid golfers with a service they can’t get anywhere else.

PGA TOUR Superstores are owned and operated by Golf & Tennis Pro Shop, Inc. (GTPS), headquartered in Atlanta, Ga. Each Superstore is dedicated to providing consumers with exceptional selection, services and prices within an entertaining, interactive store environment. GTPS is the PGA TOUR’s exclusive PGA TOUR partner for off-course/off-airport golf retailing.

Two Superstores operate as Martin’s PGA TOUR Superstore in Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach, S.C. Four Superstores operate in the Atlanta area (Roswell, Kennesaw, Duluth, Buckhead) as PGA TOUR Superstore. Future expansion plans also include two Superstores in the Dallas area in 2007, locations in Orlando, Fla.; Houston, Texas; Phoenix, Ariz.; and the Southern California cities of Los Angeles and San Diego in the near future. All Superstores are focused on game improvement in golf and tennis, as well as growing the games. Each store offers swing analysis, golf instruction by professional instructors, club fittings, indoor practice greens, and hitting nets, as well as golf and tennis apparel, golf-themed home furnishings, and a vast selection of golf and tennis equipment.
