Golf 20/20 has called upon the allied associations of golf to help with industry benchmarking. The most important and critical of our progress is rounds played. In order to get an accurate read on rounds played, facilities need to participate and share information. In response to this request, the NGF is providing the system for ongoing rounds played reporting. Participation is free and all data remains strictly confidential. In return, all facilities reporting will receive a quarterly national/regional Rounds Played report. The process takes less than 2 minutes. There are also sample reports and data entry screens available. For more info, visit http://www.ngfinfonet.com/

* The Big 6 with... West Coast Trends
------------------------------------------------------------

Who is West Coast Trends?
West Coast Trends, Inc. is based out of Huntington Beach, California, and designs, manufactures and markets premium golf travel bags, travel luggage, stand bags, cart bags, club covers and ball covers including The Original Club Glove, Last Bag, Aficionado II, Collegiate II, and Stiff Arm. Over 500 Tour professionals carry their clubs in a Club Glove travel bag 25 to 35 weeks per year. Golfers and retailers can find out more information about the company and its products by calling toll-free 800-736-4568 or by visiting http://www.clubglove.com/.

What products/service does West Coast Trends provide the golf community?
West Coast Trends manufactures a variety of premium Club Glove golf travel bags, travel luggage, stand bags, cart bags, club covers and ball covers:

Travel Bags
The Last Bag is used by more touring professionals on the PGA, Sr. PGA, and LPGA Tours than any other product in golf. Quite simply, it is the best golf travel bag in the world. It includes a LIFETIME WARRANTY. The Burst Proof and Burst Proof with Wheels were specifically designed for lightweight carry bags. Both Bust Proof bags maintain the features of the entire Club Glove line including single piece
construction, club head security strap, and webbing to reinforce the entire bag. The new Stiff Arm is an adjustable crutch that is designed to prevent club breakage when the bag is dropped directly on the club head from a height of six feet or more. It adds vertical strength to what is already the most protective soft-sided bag in the world.

Travel Luggage
Designed as a travel companion for the number one travel bag on tour, the Rolling Duffle has been built with a lifetime of travel in mind. With a LIFETIME WARRANTY, this is truly one rugged piece of luggage. The Mini Rolling Duffle has
quickly become one of the most popular in the line. It is perfect for short excursions and includes a lifetime warranty. The Shoulder Bag is designed with access on both sides. It can be used to carry a laptop, documents, or overnight gear. Included is a Dual Shoulder Strap that distributes the weight evenly and comfortably. The versatile Piggy Back luggage can be used as three unique pieces. (1) A two-part carry-on, (2) a soft-sided attaché, or (3) a convenient backpack. All which easily connect and ride atop the Last Bag or Rolling Duffle. The II Suit Garment Bag can
carry quite a load. When lightly loaded, it can be double folded to fit in the overhead compartment. The Shoe Bag is a great tournament gift that includes a deluxe shoe horn.

Stand Bags
The Aficionado II stand bag is entirely modular. Multiple pocket configurations (up to 9) allow one to tailor their bag to whatever conditions await them on the course. From a lightweight single strap Sunday bag, to a fully geared up dual strap bag for the elements, this bag has everything one could want from a premium stand bag. The Izzo Dual Strap with our unique Shoulder Mold feature provides unmatched customized comfort. The demand for simplicity from college players themselves was the motivation for the Collegiate II stand bag. Although not as customizable as the Aficionado II, the Collegiate II still has the ability to become one of the lightest stand bags in the industry. Club Glove design and durability along with an Izzo Dual Strap make this premium bag a significant value.

Cart Bags
The FCO (For Carts Only) Luxury Cart Bag is the most beautiful, well-constructed cart bag in golf. We have taken the traditional look of a staff bag and simply reversed the way one loads it on the cart. This allows unobstructed access to 11 of the 13 pockets. Attractive lines and logical design are two ways to describe this well thought out bag.

Club and Ball Covers
Club Glove Gloveskin Premium Iron and Putter Covers provide a look fit and feel that is unmatched. Soft and sleek, with a leather-like feel and appearance, these covers will protect your club heads and maintain that new look that many players desire. Neoprene Iron and Putter Covers are designed to fit your clubs and protect them from the dings and damage that can occur during play or travel. Neoprene Golf Ball Gloves hold three balls, and make a great tournament gift.

How does Club Glove work?
Club Glove Travel Bags and Travel Luggage are completely manufactured in the USA and are constructed with 1000 D Dupont Cordura Plus Nylon with heavy-duty zippers and buckles. All rolling bags and duffels are made with a high impact plastic wheel base that cradles and shields the bottom and includes in-line skate wheels with bearings. The stand bags feature unique modular components and a "Never Without Your Bag" Warranty, which has set a new standard in customer service. Never will a Club Glove stand bag require a return for a repair. Simply order a part and attach it to the bag. The FCO Luxury Cart Bag is the most beautiful, well-constructed cart bag in golf.

Where does West Coast Trends sell their products?
Club Glove products are sold through green grass shops and golf specialty outlets worldwide. For more information or to locate a retailer, call toll-free 800-736-4568 or visit Club Glove's website at http://www.clubglove.com/.

When did West Coast Trends begin?
West Coast Trends opened its doors in 1990 in a garage in Burbank, CA. In 1997, they moved to their present offices in Huntington Beach, CA. The company's first products were Club Glove neoprene club covers. A few years later, they began designing and manufacturing premium Club Glove golf travel bags, and have expanded the line to include premium travel luggage, stand bags and cart bags.

Why should someone purchase Club Glove products instead of the competition?
West Coast Trends is known for its high quality products and exceptional customer service. The Club Glove travel bag is the most popular travel bag in golf and the Number One travel bag on all U.S. professional golf Tours combined. If the best players in the world trust their clubs to Club Glove, you can be sure that the products work well and can stand up to the rigors of constant travel. The company is dedicated to designing and producing quality products that are attractive, functional and durable. Many of our products include LIFETIME WARRANTIES.

* Error in May Newsletter
------------------------------------------------------------

We inadvertently left out some information from the Big 6 article about the Golf Muscle Master in the May issue of our newsletter. We apologize for our mistake, and are reprinting the additional information below.

Improve you game by using the Golf Muscle Master at home, in the office, or at the course.

The Golf Muscle Master is the new swing trainer you can personalize (choose your color and lettering). Shaft colors are available in beautiful powder coated red, white, blue, black, maroon, purple, green, and orange. Great for corporate or individual gifts, pro shops, golf schools, or school golf teams.

The Golf Muscle Master is the only weighted swing trainer with 1/2 of the total weight, 38ozs, in the bottom 1/3 of the club. A regular golf club is weighted this way. It is 38" long to help you feel the club head. Your game will be more consistent and you will stay on plane, be more flexible, stay balanced, and have added strength.

"Swinging a weighted practice club will do more for your swing than a hundred swing-training gizmos combined," says Bob Toski in the August 2002 issue of Golf Digest.

· The Golf Muscle Master develops a consistent, repeating golf swing.
· The added weight increases flexibility and helps you stay in balance
· The Golf Muscle Master helps you to develop consistency by staying on plane.
· Using the Golf Muscle Master increases strength in all your golf muscles.
· Your swing is grooved; right elbow stays in proper position on downswing.
· By using the Golf Muscle Master regularly your club head speed will increase.

The hollow outer shaft is fitted with a shorter solid inner-shaft to keep 1/2 of the total weight, 38ozs, in the bottom 1/3 of the club. A regular golf club is weighted this way. (Not a solid homogeneous shaft with the center of gravity in the center of the club.)

The Golf Muscle Master is 38" long not shorter than a regular club like some swing trainers. Its middle range length will help you feel the club head.

The Golf Muscle Master makes a great corporate or individual gift as you can choose your color, lettering, or corporate logo.

Wholesale, Retail, College / High School, and Corporate Pricing is available by calling 402-339-5005 or email tschirmer@cox.net
