• Market leader in golf equipment introduces 220 page catalogue

Essen, 12 March 2007. More than 200 pages of condensed golf competence: On 14 March, market leader Karstadt will open the 2007 golf season with its new catalogue. The catalogue has a print-run of 120,000 copies and presents the latest technical developments in golf. The Karstadt golf experts have, for instance, put together a range of revolutionary drivers, among them the Nike Sumo2 and the Callaway FT-i. The clubs by Pro Ace also feature a new design based on the latest findings in club technology. In addition, the well-known brand also presents its new golf fashion collection, which includes highly fashionable functional wear for ladies as well as men.

The new collections of young brands such as G+ or H2O are additional highlights in golf fashion. When it comes to golf bags, strong colours have been added to the game: Selected top models are available in pink, yellow and green as well as a croc look. The Karstadt golf catalogue also offers the latest technology in shoes: Alongside innovative solutions such as the Boa lacing technology of the "Reelfit" model by Footjoy, which allows you to dial in the desired fit, many further novelties and trends for perfect footing are featured. This includes shoes with markedly improved tread.

Karstadt is also further strengthening its golf competence on the Internet: The Callaway Online Shop with its broad range of professional clubs will be available online from 15 March 2007. "With the new catalogue and the extensive online range Karstadt again strengthens its leadership position in the German golf market," said Siegfried Despineux, Category Manager Golf at Karstadt Sport. Products from the new catalogue are available in all 28 Karstadt Golf Shops. Furthermore, Karstadt customers can also order products easily and have them delivered to their home: Online at www.karstadt.de, via fax hotline (01805/4466101) or by telephone (01805/1144141*) from a German T-Com landline.
