Greg Fudge, who led STX Golf (now STX Putters) to strong, double-digit growth in his position as National Sales Manager, has returned to the company as Director of Sales.
Fudge had been Director of Sales at Pride/Softspikes, Inc., where he was a major factor in both the company’s strong yearly sales increases and its ability to maintain its brand leadership at all retail and wholesale levels. During his tenure, Fudge directed the sales and marketing efforts of seven territory managers, select distributors and 45 sales reps throughout the U.S.
Fudge has also been with Nicklaus Golf as a Regional Sales Manager and has owned a Pro Golf store in Maryland. He has 25 years of experience in the retail field and has been with Bloomingdale’s, Neiman-Marcus and Saks 5th Avenue.
STX Putters enjoyed tremendous success under Fudge the first time around, and he has even loftier aims for the company this time. As the company’s slogan says of its products, Fudge intends for golfers to feel – and see – the difference.
“My goal is to develop STX Putters into one of the top putter manufacturers in the world,” says Fudge. “I intend to increase sales and further expand our exposure on the PGA Tour.”
“We are extremely glad to have Greg Fudge working for us again,” says Dick Tucker, Sr., Chairman of STX Putters. “His extensive knowledge of the golf industry, combined with his wide-ranging contacts in many retail arenas, again makes him the perfect person to lead us forward.”
