Tour Van LLC Treats Club Golfers Like Tour Professionals

Oct. 16, 2012 - PRLog -- It’s a well-known secret that PGA and LPGA pros live or die by their equipment. They don’t just walk into their local golf warehouse and pick out a set of clubs that “feel good”; that could cost them a stack of prize money and a whole lot of frustration. Instead, companies like Callaway and Nike show up at events with tour vans, packed to the roof with swing analysis technology, expert technicians, and state-of-the-art golf equipment that recreational golfers can only dream about. Until now.

That’s where Tour Van LLC comes in; they deliver the “tour experience” to amateur golfers by giving them access to the same level of service, technology and expertise that pros enjoy. Their tour van comes right to your golf club, offering swing and putting analysis, top brand-name equipment, and club building and repair services to golfers who play for passion, not for profit. According to Mark Lederman, Vice President and Director of Golf Operations, and a partner at Tour Van LLC, “Our tour van is for everyone but the Tour! We want every golfer to have instant access to equipment, technology and knowledge that maximizes their abilities and helps them take their game to the next level.”

Cliff Wise, President of Tour Van LLC, puts it this way: “So far, tour vans have only been available to PGA and LPGA pros. We decided this had to stop. Why shouldn’t recreational golfers receive the same great care and attention that tour pros do? So, we’ve launched Tour Van LLC, and we’re determined to change the face of club golf.”

The company says that their offer is unique. Not only do they have all the things you would find in a van on tour, but they don’t lock you into a single manufacturer – unlike pro tour vans. Their experienced technicians make choosing the right gear a science; they can analyse your swing at the course and build your clubs right there – or repair and upgrade old favorites. It’s like buying a finely-tailored suit.

For club fitting, their equipment includes launch monitors with three speed-sensing Doppler radars to measure swing characteristics such as club head speed and ball speed and spin – all essential measurements for proper club fitting – and a “Walkabout” Swing Analysis system that uses electromagnetic sensors to analyze swing motion and body biomechanics. Putting isn’t left behind either; they have a SAM Puttlab from Science & Motion – the same one that tour pros use – with ultrasound technology that really gets inside your stroke. You can have your clubs built right in the van, choosing from a wide range of leading manufacturers, including Miyazaki, Fujikura, KBS Tour, Miura, Royal Collection, Cleveland, Pure, Winn and Golf Pride. Their knowledgeable technicians – all certified by Mitchell Golf, the industry standard – can even adjust the loft and lie of your clubs on the spot using Mitchell Golf TourGAUGE Digital Irons and Digital Putter machines.

Once you do get that perfect set of clubs, you’ll want to treat them like cherished children. The Tour Van can help here too. They can upgrade, repair or re-shaft your club in minutes, not weeks, and have you back out on the course in no time. You can even treat yourself to a coffee while you wait - the Tour Van has a Starbucks Coffee machine!

Make sure you visit the Tour Van when it comes to your golf club. It will start off its tour schedule in New Jersey , visiting a number or courses including Pine Barrens Golf Club, Bayonne Golf Club, Deal Country Club, Navesink Country Club and Twisted Dune Golf Club.  Then, it’s off to Florida, where the Tour Van will be giving golfers a taste of the true “tour experience” at the PGA Merchandise Show on January 23 – 26 in Orlando.
