What our Dealers are Saying
There are many
reasons why our SofTrak® Personal Putting Green Dealers
are experiencing such phenomenal success — too many
to discuss in short order. There is not just one way to have
success with this product. Our dealers continue to harvest
the opportunities unique to their individual marketplace,
just as you will. Here are some comments from some of our
dealers:
Jeff Graham – SofTrak of South Florida
I love golf so this was a chance
to mix business with pleasure. The VS representative
(Gary Wilder) was extraordinarily informative, very
candid and very honest as I was doing my due diligence.
He wasn’t afraid, in reasonably good terms,
to talk about competitors where it was appropriate,
which I liked. There are cheaper lines in the industry
but I was convinced for anyone who is serious about
wanting to practice golf, who wants to putt and chip
on a realistic green, that SofTrak® is the best
surface out there.
When you sell a SofTrak®
green, you can talk and talk but it’s when you
get someone on a green, walking, putting and chipping…
that’s what sells the product.
As things have unfolded for
me with SofTrak®, I’m convinced that the
quality of the people is superb, they’re honest,
and the product is the best in the industry.

Mark Prince– Golf Landscapes
“I
have derived a lot of enjoyment in using SofTrak®
turf in several different kinds of installations;
from my favorite, the backyard putting greens, to
nine hole executive courses, to special amenities
for hotel and indoor facilities. I can always count
on VS to answer my technical questions concerning
any challenges that might be presented. It is not
unusual when called for to have one of the developers
of SofTrak® arrive on a site to assist.”
For
the past four years, Mark has been realizing his lifelong
dream of owning a business, and his stellar sales
earned Golf Landscapes & Sports Surfaces the VS
Dealer of The Year in 1999, 2000, 2003, and 2004,
as well as being in the Master's Club and President's
Club in 2004 and 2004 5-Star Customer Service. In
2003, he added the VS/VersaCourt to his product line. |

Rob Thomsen– Short Game Greens
“I
became a VS dealer basically as a result of doing
research. I wanted to install a green in my own backyard
and found SofTrak® was the best product available
on the market. It beat the competition hands down.
I saw a great deal of potential in having an area
in which to sell the leading product made in an exclusive
industry.”
Rob
was one of VS’s Top Five Dealers in 2000 and
2002 and Dealer of the Year in 2001. In 2004 they
also received the Teamwork Award, Master's Club and
President's Club.

Kerry McNamara– Putting Greens of Cape Cod
“I
am an avid golfer and spend lots of time on the course.
I have no problem telling my golfing partners that
SofTrak® is the best alternative to natural
grass, because it’s the truth. The research
VS put into the development of the system makes it
stand out in the synthetic turf market. There are
a lot of people trying to sell backyard greens and
their product doesn’t play like SofTrak®®.
I can sell this turf with confidence.”
Kerry’s
business interests are wide, but he states that the
profit margin on sales of SofTrak® were the
highest and he is seeing his sales double each year.
In recent years, Kerry was one of VS’s Five
Star Dealers. 2004 - Master's Club and President's
Club, 2004 5-Star Customer Service |
