Golfsmith Exclusively Presents The Golf Digest Hot List Insider Sweepstakes
A First Time Ever Consumer Experience At The Annual Hot List Summit
AUSTIN, Texas - Golfsmith and Golf Digest have teamed up to give Golfsmith LeaderBoard members a chance to attend the Golf Digest 2016 Hot List Summit in November through an exclusive sweepstakes running now through August 16, 2015.
The two grand prize winners of the Hot List Insider LeaderBoard Sweepstakes will have first time ever consumer access to test out the top clubs and equipment of 2016, months before they hit stores, at the annual Golf Digest Hot List Summit, hosted this fall at the Wigwam Resort near Phoenix, Arizona. Winners will also receive a free set of custom-fit irons from Golfsmith.
“We want our sweepstakes winners to truly learn what it’s like to be a Hot List tester—one of the most coveted roles in golf,” says Peter King Hunsinger, Chief Revenue Officer of Golf Digest. “They’ll be able to play golf at the site, observe testing, hit new clubs before release, and attend other Hot List events.”
“We are very excited to partner with Golf Digest and share our passion for the game with our customers by offering this exclusive sweepstakes,” says Lisa Zoellner, Chief Marketing Officer of Golfsmith International. “Two lucky LeaderBoard members will truly get an unprecedented insider experience at one of the most iconic events in golf, the annual Golf Digest Hot List Summit.”
This once-in-a-lifetime, two-day experience includes:
Day One – A round of golf on the Wigwam’s legendary Gold Course with Stina Sternberg, Golf Digest’s Global Golf Director, followed by an exclusive dinner with Golf Digest Hot List editors and testers discussing the Hot List process and the newest golf technology.
Day Two – A day alongside the Hot List panelists, testing the game’s top 2016 equipment with Golf Digest editors and experts. Winners will get to demo several 2016 entries from each of the nine club categories evaluated at the Hot List Summit: Drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, game-improvement irons, super game-improvement irons, players irons, wedges, mallet putters and blade putters.
