ITASCA, IL. – December 22, 2005 – The Zero Friction Golf Teesâ?¢, the hottest tee on the PGA and Nationwide Tour and the Official Golf Tee of the Long Drivers of America Association, which produces the RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship, announces that the finals are scheduled to air on December 25, 2005 from 2:00 – 3:30 on ESPN.
"These finals were captivating and those who tune in will be completely inspired by how long these Professionals drive the ball, says Mike Herron, Business Development Manager for Excel Golf Tee, Inc., the parent company of Zero Friction Golf Tees. "The LDA is such an entertaining tournament and we’re delighted that our Zero Friction Golf Tees were used by several of the top players during the event and eventually led the company to its first professional endorsement contract with Sean "The Beast" Fister, winner of the 2005 Re/Max Long Drive Championship."
Long Drive Professionals travel from all over the world to compete every October at the Long Drive finals in Mesquite, Nev. The 2005 finals were played Oct. 22 at The Palms Golf Club. Sean "The Beast" Fister of Little Rock, Ark., won the Open Division title with a huge bomb of a drive 377 yards, 3 inches and collected $100,000 from the record purse of $450,000.
In addition to the competitors using Zero Friction Golf Tees, they had the opportunity to demonstrate Excel Golf Tee’s latest long drive tee called the Hardwood. The Zero Friction Hardwood is made from a premium hardwood that’s much stronger than traditional birch tees, and provides a cup size 30% smaller than standard tees.
Like the current Zero Friction Golf Tee, the Zero Friction Hardwood has less surface area coming in contact with the golf ball to provide reduced friction. The traditional style Zero Friction Hardwood is the perfect compliment to the current 3-pronged Zero Friction design.
The Zero Friction line of Golf Tees 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.
Zero Friction Golf Tees are environmentally safe and are made with Biodegradable materials. They are manufactured by Excel Golf Tee, Inc. of Itasca, IL, a full-service distributor of wooden golf tees serving the golf industry. Its goal is to provide the highest quality tees at an affordable price with timely and economical distribution.
