Coming off a successful 10th year at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Bite Golf continues to grow its presence in the United States. Bite Golf announces its newest member of Team Bite, industry veteran Mark Balint and its newest distributor KOP Distributors.

Balint will be responsible for driving sales in North Carolina and South Carolina. He has been a success in the golf industry for 26 years and is starting his 14th year as a sales representative in the Carolinas.

In addition to increasing its talent, Bite Golf is also expanding its distribution in Hawaii with new distributor KOP Distributors. KOP Distributors began in March of 1983 as a distributor of golf equipment, apparel and accessories. Its main territory is the State of Hawaii with locations in Guam as well as Saipan. KOP Distributors currently has over 250 accounts that not only include golf shops and golf courses, but also large retailers, souvenir shops, resorts, hotels and schools.

“We are very excited to have KOP Distributors on board,” states founder and owner of Bite Golf, Dale Bathum. “Being positioned to serve our more than a dozen Bite Golf retailers in Hawaii means customers will have product in a more timely fashion. This new partnership is an asset for everyone.”
