Provide a Valued Service at No Cost and Get Paid for It

VGM Club has partnered with TBTI Inc, a nationally recognized ATM company. TBTI's service is offered at no expense to you and even pays a commission monthly as an incentive for trying the program. There are a few simple logistics to set up and then the unit is running the same day that it is delivered.

TBTI can even customize the ATM to reflect the theme and décor of your property. For instance, custom matched cabinetry can be placed over the machine to blend in with the aesthetics of your location. Club branding features can be added to the ATM or cabinetry to make it stand out professionally.

"The ATM program has been an invaluable service to the Diplomat Country Club in Hollywood Florida. It is very convenient for our members to get cash without having to leave the facility. TBTI has done a wonderful job in keeping us running for nearly 10 years."

Will Geisell, Procurement Director, Starwood Hotels and Resorts

The ATM has many benefits for the members and management alike.

  • Additional disposable money to be spent on site. Studies show that 65% of all cash acquired from an on-premise ATM gets spent at that location.
  • Reduces credit card processing fees as cash is utilized instead. Rather than lose money with a credit card terminal and pay VISA, your guests can use the ATM and have VISA pay you. It seamlessly reverses the trend of losing money by utilizing a different transaction method.
  • Reduce bad debt as checks can bounce and can compound expenses as the banks tack on additional fees even when this was not your fault.
  • Additional cash on-hand promotes increased impulse sales as it has already been deducted from the customer's account. In the consumer's mind, this money is already spent; so they are more apt to purchase additional items.
  • Keeps customers on-site instead of leaving to find an ATM machine.
  • Convenience to your members is always appreciated.

Bring Bettinardi's Impeccable Quality Putters & Belts to Your Club

Robert Bettinardi, the premier putter designer known around the world, has partnered with VGM Club to offer members a special program on the highest quality milled putters in the world.

Bettinardi Golf provides unmatched quality milled products, fully Made in the U.S.A. to the golfer and consumer who wants the best of the best. You will be pleasantly surprised by the product quality, the level of support and customer service Bettinardi Golf showers on its customers.

Mike Scully, Head Pro at Medinah Country Club, stated, "Bettinardi Golf has done a marvelous job with our putters and custom buckles. Our members absolutely love them and the quality of his product and service is unsurpassed."

The 2010 BB Series is plated in a luxurious Black Nickel finish that guarantees the highest level of durability and strong classic looks. Each model is milled with a single sight line to aid with alignment. Every putter comes complete with a pistol style grip (mid-size available) and a Bettinardi patented black headcover. Each of the Bettinardi models is available in multiple head weights for the discerning golfer.

Bettinardi Golf, for the first time in its history, is offering the 2010 Country Club Series Putter. This classic heel-toe designed putter is finished in a luxurious Satin Nickel and sports your Clubs custom logoed specifications on the sole of the putter. Your logo will be skillfully recreated and crafted to showcase the pride and history of your Club. Each year, Bettinardi will introduce a new CC Series model to ensure the Club and its members receive a unique and rare collectable. In addition, any Club recognized as a "Top 100" are eligible to have "Top 100" engraved on the sole and a unique "Top 100" headcover.

"The Buckle" milled by Bettinardi Golf is the perfect design element to complete your Bettinardi experience. Milled under the same exacting standards as their putters, the Buckle encompasses precision craftsmanship, customization and fashion. The Buckle is available in two sizes - 1 ¼ " and 1 ½ " and may be frosted or paint-filled to your specifications. Bettinardi renderings are sent for final approval before the milling process begins. The custom, hand-made straps, available in 9 different colors are also interchangeable to fit your style of the day. Numerous Bettinardi Buckles are seen on the PGA Tour, Green Grass locations across the country and in Corporate America.
