Albany, GA, July 3, 2006- The MacGregor putter line by renowned putter designer Bobby Grace added another victory to its trophy case with a win at the Buick Championship in Hartford, CT. In less than three years, Bobby Grace designed putters have won more than $46 million in Tour earnings while capturing 24 Tour victories worldwide.
The Buick Championship was captured using the MacGregor 6.4 GT putter by Bobby Grace. The GT is arguably the most innovative putter on the market with 150 grams of triangulated copper weighting producing a deeper CG (center of gravity) and a higher MOI (moment of inertia) causing less twisting and straighter, truer putts. Coupled with its innovative design, the GT family of putters uses a highly engineered Annealed Beryllium Copper face insert to create maximum feedback and sensitive feel.
"This Company is totally committed to the principle that better technology, better materials, and better design produce better performing golf equipment, no matter what it costs us," said Bobby Grace, Vice-President Putter Design, MacGregor Golf. "Our success on Tour is the purest form validation regarding the elite nature of our product technologies and performance, especially so because we don’t pay one cent of "tee-up" money. These same technologies are designed to benefit golfers of all skill levels."
"We couldn’t be happier that the best players in the world continue to win with MacGregor putters designed by Bobby Grace," said Reid Gorman, President of MacGregor Golf. "We are dedicated to providing Bobby Grace and the rest of our extraordinary club designers with whatever resources they need to create the best performing golf equipment in the World. Our success on the PGA Tour is a clear indication that they’ve been doing just that."
