A separate area features brands such as Adams, Orlimar and NancyLopezGolf. Five driving stations just outside on the lanai are available for trying out clubs. And there are three stations where shoppers can test and play computer golf games. If all the walking around has visitors thinking about their feet, they can try out the FootJoy Laser Fitting System, which can't be found anywhere else, yet. The store stocks every style of FootJoy shoes, and in two styles it carries every size.
Additional areas sell all manner of teaching and practice aids, books, videos and audio tapes.
And, to liven things up a bit, two Class A PGA of America professionals on staff and other top pros from around the country will offer clinics. Book signings, autograph sessions with touring pros and fashion shows to introduce new fall and spring lines are also in the works. And for the memorabilia-lover, Champions Corner sells authentic, signed scorecards, with the majority of proceeds slated to go to the First Tee Foundation. Martin says 100 players have agreed to give their cards and he hopes to add others. According to Leo McCullagh, vice president for retail licensing and consumer marketing for the PGA Tour, this Tour Stop store is a prototype, the beginning of many more around the country.
