Phoenix, Arizona – The Association of Golf Merchandisers (AGM) is pleased to announce the presentation of their Inaugural Platinum Awards on Friday, January 25 from 4 to 5 p.m. on the PGA Forum Stage at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. The Platinum Awards recognizes premier golf shops from the private, public, resort and off-course sectors.
The presentation of the awards will highlight several of the most creative initiatives and will honor the “best of the best” 100 golf shops and ties. Also, included in the program will be the presentation of the Cashman Award for Visual Excellence by Ardie Cashman and Kevin Cashman of Bearpath Golf and CC in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
“The Platinum Awards continues the tradition of Golf World’s 100 Best Golf Shops and the AGM’s Front Nine Awards by combining the two programs,” said Desane Blaney, AGM Executive Director. “We received a number of outstanding entries and the competition was very close this year.”
To be considered for a Platinum Award, golf shops submitted an entry to the AGM which was judged on creative ideas, revenue-generating initiatives, promotions and visual displays.
