Morton Golf Director of Retail, Ken Morton, Jr. and I, Jennifer Morton, recently returned from July’s AmericasMart. The AmericasMart Gift and Home Market in Atlanta, Georgia, consists of four integrated buildings offering specialty products that are presented in permanent showrooms and temporary exhibit halls with a total of nearly 8 million square feet of space. Retailers from every U.S. state and more than 80 countries worldwide attend the markets, which attract over half a million attendees each year to its showrooms. Why did we go? Ken and I went in search of new golf gift items. And while golf might be a small- okay, extremely small- percentage of the gifts offered, we do our best at Morton Golf to bring in new, unique items that differentiate our stores from our competitors. Here is a sneak peak at some of the fun things we found and that you will see in the coming months at Haggin Oaks and online at www.MortonGolfSales.com. Hopefully, you’ll enjoy a few of these golf goodies! Everything will be stocking our shelves in time for the holiday season!
