Denver, COâ?”When the USGA changed Rule 16-1a(i), it meant a sweeping change for PUTT PAL USA – literally.
PUTT PALâ?¢ and POCKET PALâ?¢ are the only greens brushes permitted by the USGA and the R & A. The PUTT PAL is available in two models. The first can be clipped onto the bag for easy access and is a retractable brush in a tube.
The second is the POCKET PAL. It is a slim, retractable brush, shaped like a deck of cards that can be easily carried in the pants pocket. The PUTT PAL and the POCKET PAL weigh only 2 ounces each.
The third in the threesome is the PUTT PAL Shaft version. This is a PUTT PAL brush attached to the end of a True Temper shaft with a Golf Pride grip on the other end. It eliminates having to bend down to sweep loose impediments from the green surface and will be available in the Spring.
"With the new rule change, we have three products that make perfect sense for the golfer," said PUTT PAL USA CEO and founder Steve Wicklas. "It not only sweeps away loose impediments, it does it quickly. Before the rule change, golfers had to remove loose impediments by hand which was a time taking chore. Now, the golfer can sweep them away in short order without affecting the pace of play."
The efficiency and the time factor brought PUTT PAL USA another market which was somewhat of a surprise.
"We’ve developed a following among golf course superintendents," said Wicklas. "They found that they could save a couple of minutes every time they cut a new hole. By using the PUTT PAL, they can sweep the cup edges more effectively without causing any damage.
PUTT PAL models and the POCKET PAL can be found at most golf retail outlets and online at www.puttpalusa.com. PUTT PAL Clip-on model and the POCKET PAL sell for $12.99 while the original shaft model costs $29.99
All three models will be on display at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando January 26-29 in Booth #11428. The PUTT PAL and POCKET PAL will also be on display in the New Product Center.
