ITASCA, IL. – November 15, 2005 – The PGA Tour’s second, or unofficial, season began exactly the way the official season had ended – with the revolutionary Zero Friction Golf Tee being a key reason for the major success of a player using it.
The site this time was the Franklin Templeton Shootout in Naples, Fl., where a member of the winning team used Zero Friction’s remarkable combination of distance and accuracy to help his team win the three-day event with an exceptional score of 30-under par 186. That included a 59 on the final day during the scramble portion of the tournament.
It was the second time this year the golfer had employed Zero Friction’s three-pronged teeing system to achieve victory. Earlier this year he won the Bank of America Colonial teeing it up with Zero Friction.
Since it debuted on the major professional golf tours in May, the Zero Friction Golf Tee has won 12 tournaments, including nine on the PGA Tour and three on the Nationwide Tour.
"There’s an expression that says something is better by the dozen and that’s now really true with the Zero Friction Golf Tee," says Mike Herron, Business Development Manager for Excel Golf Tee, Inc., the parent company of Zero Friction. "Twelve victories is an outstanding achievement and we’re extremely proud to reach this small but significant milestone this quickly. We expect to achieve many additional milestones in the future as more golfers start enjoying the Zero Friction experience."
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.
