Director of Transview Golf Sdn Bhd,
Mr. Frankie Choo shared, “We want to
be a true partner that is trusted and loved
by all golfers. We definitely have the right
formula here at the Golf Partner Driving
Range, where we offer all the services
that a golfer would ever need, from
the driving range to the academy and
pro shop to the golf fitting centre. The
Golf Partner pro shop at the range also
provides the opportunity for customers
to try all the clubs in the shop at the
hitting bays and they are able to test and
see the actual ball flight for themselves
before purchase. Golf Partner provides
good quality used clubs from Japan and
also applies an exchange policy where
they accept exchange with 80% of the
purchased value within 7 days and 70%
of the purchased value within 8 to 14
days. With such a policy, golfers do not
need to worry should they have a change
of heart, as they could always walk into a
Golf Partner shop to exchange it. Hence,
we believe, with all these services and
facilities in place as we are the one stop
centre choice for all golfers out there.”
