HELLO EVERYBODY !

 

my name is Silvia Di Nicola.

I just want to introduce myself as a neophyte in the world of golf. I started working at GreenGolf shop in the beautiful corniche of Villa d'Este Golf Course, just few months ago.

 I just came here for a coincidence : a dear friend of my father, who is a professional golfer, Alessandro Frigerio,  was about to take over the management of the shop inside the course and was looking for somebody  and at that time I was unemployed.  So here I am ! This is  how my adventure in this world began.

I was totally in the dark , a truly whole new experience to me: the name of the clubs , the management of the shop, the contact with  the players. Since I started  everything is so challenging and I love it.

My interest increase day by day because I have the luck to work with a team that give the possibility to grow  ( and believe that in Italy nowadays unfortunately is not so taken for granted) and this how I started reading My golf spy!

I've  found your blog  as  a bible to me:  I really think that the way you  do  the rewiews is very clear , accurate and simple also for a unaware like me.

Now I wrote this letter for some advices: I will be to WorldAm Championship  in Myrtle Beach at the end of August. I ‘ll be there cause my father will participate at the tournament and meanwhile ( cause I do not play golf, not yet!) I will searching for some new to introduce in the shop.

At the moment our main brands for the clubs are : Titlest, Cobra, Ping, Mizuno, Callaway, Cleveland and Honma. For shoes, accessories and apparel we have : FJ, Ecco, Glemuir , Golfino, Peter Millar, Alberto Golf, The golfers club, Bridgestone, Volvik  and others.

I would like to know if you guys are familiar of the area of Myrtle Beach or if you know somebody who can show me the zone: my purpose is to get in touch with new suppliers and to come back to Italy with new things.

 I look forward to receive from you or from your team a reply and If you are planning to visit Italy you will be  a very welcome guest in Villa d'Este Golf Course.

Welcome Silvia! Sounds like you have the opportunity for some great experiences. I like Myrtle Beach; lots of great courses. I was at the WorldAm many years ago, and was amazed how many people from all over the world were there. Unfortunately for them (and me) it rained a lot!

 

If you have any questions, just post them and the great MGS crew will respond. Good luck in your travels!

Welcome Silvia!  We do have some forum members in the Myrtle Beach area so hopefully they will jump in here shortly.  I would suggest that you investigate the annual Golf Show in Orlando, Florida.  It takes place each year in January and is the place for OEM's and people in the business of promoting the game of golf to connect.  There are threads about that show under the US Equipment section.

 

Best wishes to you and your father!

Ping G410 - turned down to11.25 degrees, neutral setting - Fujikura Motore X R flex

Ping G410 5-9 wood

Wilson D7 forged 6-GW -  Mamiya recoil 460 R flex

SCOR 52,60

Titleist Pro VIx optic yellow with revkev stamped on them

Currently testing Edison wedges to replace SCORS that are wearing out. Also auditions for the 14th spot in the bag.  Current possibilities are a Ping 26 degree hybrid - duplicates the 9 wood or 5 iron but would be used almost exclusively for chipping or Tour Exotics 3 wood simply because you can carry 14 clubs and I might occasionally hit it in certain unusual wind conditions once every four or five rounds.

Buon Giorno Sylvia! 

 

My famiglia comes from Cigliano, about an hour and a half west of you. Glad you're with us.

 

I have three friends who will be playing in the World Am - maybe you can meet up with them in Myrtle Beach? They're good people and one of them has some excellent insights into the golf business.  

 

Please feel free to Private Message me on this forum and we can share contact information.

 

Grazie!

Buongiorno! and welcome to the forum!

 

I'm actually heading to Italy next month with the wife! Being American I am quite the mutt; however, I am Italian. Happen to know any Tomasi's? I still have cousins there, and they're from the northern region such as yourself. The joke is that so many of them moved to the alps for work they now have blonde hair and blue eyes.

 

Anyway, welcome to the forum and good luck in the golf business!
