ITASCA, IL. – November 8, 2005 – The Zero Friction Golf Teeï?” finished the regular PGA Tour season with a bang as three golfers using the remarkable product finished in the top 5 at the Southern Farm Bureau Classic.
One of the golfers who finished tied for second in the tournament continued his scorching late-season play, thanks to the Zero Friction’s revolutionary three-pronged teeing system that adds both distance and accuracy off the tee. The week prior he had won his first PGA Tour title, at the Chrysler Championship. The back-to-back high finishes enabled him to end the season 31st on the money-winning list with nearly $2 million in earnings.
Two others golfers using the Zero Friction tee finished tied for fifth at the Southern Farm event. Both tied for third for the week in total birdies, while one was ninth in driving distance with an average of nearly 297 yards.
In just six months since it debuted on the major professional golf tours in May, the Zero Friction Golf Tee won 11 tournaments, including eight on the PGA Tour and three on the Nationwide Tour.
"It’s been quite a season for the Zero Friction Golf Tee, but it’s only the beginning," says Mike Herron, Business Development Manager for Excel Golf Tee, Inc., the parent company of Zero Friction. "The Zero Friction has proven itself to be a valuable asset to all golfers, both professionals and amateurs. We anticipate it will have much wider use next season as the message spreads that the Zero Friction helps lower your score."
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.
