ITASCA, IL. – October 25, 2005 – The FUNAI Classic may have been held at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, but golfers using the remarkable Zero Friction Golf Teeï?” enjoyed anything but a Mickey Mouse performance.
Two golfers teeing it up with the Zero Friction finished in the top-10 at the FUNAI Classic, last week’s stop on the PGA Tour. A golfer who finished tied for third used the distance aspect of the Zero Friction’s revolutionary three-pronged teeing system to finish 10th in driving distance, averaging nearly 295 yards off the tee. That included a driving average of more than 317 yards in the second round.
Another Zero Friction user tied for 8th in the tournament, helped by 25 birdies, which put him in the top-5 for the week in that category. That finish pushed the golfer’s 2005 earnings to more than $2 million and virtually assured him a spot among the top-30 money winners in next week’s Tour Championship. Overall, 25 golfers who used the Zero Friction Golf Tee at the FUNAI Classic made the cut.
Another Tour, another top finish. Also this past weekend, Zero Friction enjoyed a top-10 finish at the SBC Championship on the Champions Tour, where a user tied for ninth.
"The Zero Friction rose to the top again on the leading professional golf tours as players properly calculated they would have great success by using it," says Mike Herron, Business Development Manager for Excel Golf Tee, Inc., the parent company of Zero Friction. "The Zero Friction’s teeing system gives golfers the edge they need. That was proven again at the FUNAI Classic, and its been proven by seven victories on the PGA Tour since the product was introduced in May. That’s quite a remarkable record, particularly in such a short time."
The Zero Friction tee provides less resistance between the golf ball and the golf tee for longer, straighter drives. Its reduced spin rate fights dispersion, thereby keeping the ball on line and in the fairway.
Long hitters have shown their preference for the Zero Friction Golf Tee, as evidenced by the fact that it’s the Official Golf Tee of the Long Drivers of America Association and the Exclusive Golf Tee of the RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship.
