TROON GOLF EARNS GOLF INC. AWARD FOR MARKETING EXCELLENCE

Scottsdale, AZ — With the conviction that a solid marketing effort is critical to the success and profitability of each and every golf facility, Crittenden’s Golf Inc. announced its inaugural Marketing Excellence Awards. Handing out honors at its recent annual conference and show in Las Vegas, NV, Golf Inc. recognized the best efforts over the past year in marketing and promoting golf courses and golf-related companies.

Troon Golf®, the world leader in luxury golf development, management, and marketing, garnered the top prize in the category of Large Collateral Materials; and was a nominee in the print advertising category.

The award winning entry, a handsomely bound 9″ x 12.5″ booklet titled Experience Troon Golf, presents the company to potential clients and partners.
