FREE Short Game Area Membership

These are exciting times at Parmasters Kitchener-Waterloo!

We’ve welcomed another new team member. Chris Robson is currently hosting a Membership Preview Event, even as I type. I’m seated off to the side, working away, but obviously taking a break to blog at the moment.

Attendance at our Membership Preview Events has been growing steadily. Chris has done a great job handling all of the inbound calls and helping interested parties book into one of the Events.

We’ve also recently announced two new and very exciting membership types!
- FREE Short Game Area Membership
- Junior Membership
You can learn more here.

And we issued the following press release earlier this week!

Here’s the release:

Local Golf Training Center Raising $50,000 for Charity

Play golf for free! And support a great charity! While it may sound too good to be true, Kitchener-Waterloo’s first year-round, indoor golf training center – called Parmasters and slated to open this coming winter – plans to raise $50,000 for its cause, Right To Play, while offering free golf!

Right To Play is an athlete-driven humanitarian organization that uses specially designed sport and play programs to encourage the healthy physical, social and emotional development of the world’s most disadvantaged children and their communities.

Right To Play works closely with UNHCR, UNICEF, CARE and the RED CROSS bringing sport and play programs to children in developing countries. World athlete ambassadors include Wayne Gretzky, Donovan Bailey, Lance Armstrong, Steve Young, Marnie McBean and hundreds of others.

Parmasters Kitchener-Waterloo offers the Free Short Game Area Membership to all local golfers. A minimum $20 donation to Right To Play is suggested, but not required. Parmasters plans to register 2,500 Free Short Game Area Members at its Market Square location in downtown Kitchener.

The Free Short Game Area Membership will allow access to the 3,000 sq ft. short game training area in the center that includes putting on an incredibly realistic undulating putting surface from Southwest Greens, as well as chipping and bunker play.

Flexible hours and climate-controlled indoor facilities allow golfers of all levels to gather at Parmasters to enjoy the ultimate golf training and practice centre. The rest of the facility at Parmasters Kitchener-Waterloo will feature Long Game Practice Bays with a unique ball-return system; golf simulators featuring world-class courses, a retail shop for equipment and golf apparel; and a training events room that can be rented for corporate functions and family birthday parties. And the on-site Links Golf Café, offering gourmet organic coffee and clubhouse fare, as well as wireless Internet service, will be convenient for Parmasters’ members, as well as local walk-in customers and businesses.

“Right To Play is a fantastic organization doing great work on a global scale!” notes Stephen Southern, President, Parmasters Kitchener-Waterloo. “We hope golfers and future golfers alike will take advantage of this free lifetime membership opportunity!”

Golfers are encouraged to contact Parmasters by calling 519-578-0303, or writing to kwinfo@parmastersgolf.com, or visiting them online at www.parmastersgolf.com/kitchener-waterloo.
