SAVANNAH — Since 1968, Edwin Watts Golf, one of the largest golf retail operations in the world, has grown to become the destination for golfers who love the game. Today, the company announced that it will be bringing this passion to Savannah at 7700 Abercorn St.
This storefront was previously Bonaventure Golf, a third generation family business established 45 years ago. Based on the number of golf enthusiasts in the area, Edwin Watts Golf began researching Savannah over a year ago and identified that Bonaventure was already in the market.
“We had heard a lot about Bonaventure Golf and its heritage in the golf retail industry,” explains Bill Grigsby, vice president of real estate and acquisition at Edwin Watts Golf. “We approached Bonaventure with an acquisition proposal. The timing was perfect and everyone involved is excited that two businesses with such similar entrepreneurial, up-start stories are able to come together.”
Edwin Watts Golf in Savannah marries up the expertise of the existing Bonaventure staff with the advanced fitting technology and buying power of Edwin Watts Golf.
Known as America’s golf club, Edwin Watts Golf offers the finest pro-line golf equipment, apparel and accessories. Stores give customers the feel of shopping in their favorite pro shop with features like indoor hitting bays, putting greens, golf memorabilia and even a golfer’s lounge equipped with a flat screen television.
Customers will also enjoy the unique services and cutting technology Edwin Watts Golf brings to the area, including:
• Virtual golf simulator
This premium IST system allows users to virtually track the flight of any shot with different clubs. It also measures the shot’s velocity, launch angles, club speed, true spin rates and other variables.
• Vector launch monitor system
Vector launch gives users exact measurements of ball speed, spin, and launch angle in order to custom fit them with the right clubs for their game.
• Full service club repair
This in-store facility can assist customers with the installation of shafts and grips, as well as change club length, lie and loft. Putter fittings are also be available.
“We are excited to bring Edwin Watts Golf close to the residents of Savannah,” said Edwin Watts Golf Savannah store manager, Dan Moon. “We look forward to providing our new neighbors with the best products, most knowledgeable staff and competitive prices.”
The new store, located just east of the Oglethorpe Mall on Abercorn, offers customers weekday hours from 9 a.m.-6:30 p.m. The store will also be open from 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m. on Saturdays and from noon-5 p.m. on Sundays.
To celebrate the new store, Edwin Watts Golf invites customers to a grand opening event Nov. 13-16. The celebration will include prizes, fittings, contests and specials throughout the store.
