Golfsmith International Holdings, Inc. on Thursday is opening its new 40,000-square foot “playground” for golfers and tennis players in the Houston area. The retailer claims the new Golfsmith Xtreme store in the Woodlands is the first in the state of Texas and the largest store of its kind in Houston.
“Golfsmith continues to expand its superstore format into new markets, and we are excited about Houston because it is one of the strongest golf markets in the country,” said Martin Hanaka, president and chief executive officer of Golfsmith. “According to Golf Datatech, Houston-area golfers played nearly 20 percent more rounds of golf in February 2009 than the year before. That is one reason why Houston joins a select few markets where we have introduced our most exciting store format ever Golfsmith Xtreme.”
