This year’s plan for Odyssey is to cement our position as the ‘#1
Putter In Golf’ due to the significance of both Versa and eyeFIT,
while eyeFIT also gives us the opportunity to help retailers and
consumers understand our whole range.
Odyssey Month (May) is a key part of this plan and will help us
achieve the following:
• Driving awareness
• Encouraging trial and purchase
• Getting everyone involved! – consumers, retailers and
staff
• Support from the best putters on Tour
3. • New Versa TV ad featuring Ernie Els to go live in UK,
Germany, France, Sweden and Holland w/c 6th May
