RepSpark and PAYNTR Golf unveil scholarships and footwear collaboration for golf professionals

RepSpark, the leading wholesale e‑commerce platform for the golf industry, announced a partnership with the Association of Golf Merchandisers (AGM) at the PGA Buying Summit in Frisco, Texas. The collaboration will fund five scholarships for the AGM Certified Retail Manager program, aimed at strengthening the skills of golf retail professionals. "We're deepening our commitment to the golf industry, and this scholarship is a direct expression of what we believe that commitment can provide," said Meghann Butcher, Founder and CEO of RepSpark. AGM Director of Membership & Education Justine Cook added that the program equips retailers with practical training in merchandising, marketing, inventory management, and leadership.

Separately, PAYNTR Golf introduced a new collection in partnership with the brand Students. The line features two original footwear silhouettes—Students by PAYNTR Golf PT, which includes a magnetic removable ball marker, and Students by PAYNTR Golf WT, crafted from premium faux stingray leather. The launch is accompanied by a custom‑designed collector’s shoe box called “The Field Guide to Golf” and a short film debuting on August 3 that showcases the collaboration’s philosophy of continual learning on the course.
