ITASCA, IL. – July 31, 2006 – The Excel Golf Tee Company, manufacturer of the "Winningest" high performance golf tee on the PGA Tour, announced today that at the US Bank Championship in Milwaukee, the company experienced another PGA Tour victory, a tie for sixth, a tie for 9th, and a tie for 15th.
"What a tremendous weekend for Zero Friction Golf Tees. Not only did we chalk up another win but what an important win. This talented PGA Professional hasn’t been in the winner’s circle in 10 years," says Mike Herron, Business Development Manager for Excel Golf Tees, Inc. "We are so excited to be apart of his success and record breaking scores."
A Zero Friction Golf Tee was put into play and play it did. A record 9-hole score of 26 was shot in the first round and tied the 36-hole Tour record low (125) finishing 20-under 260 to tie the 2005 Ben Crane’s 72 hole scoring mark.
"In addition to these sizzling stats, this PGA Pro made 21 birdies and an eagle. We know that he won this event with guts, a great fade, and some amazing putts but the Zero Friction Golf Tee have him an extra edge," adds Herron.
The Zero Friction Golf Tee significantly reduces the contact area between the golf ball and the tee. At impact, this small degree of contact reduction or resistance results in increased accuracy and distance. In an independent laboratory Zero Friction Golf Tees were proven to be the longest and most accurate tee used on Tour.
This inspiring win is Zero Friction Golf Tee’s 18th victory, 10 stemming from the PGA Tour, three from the Nationwide Tour, one from the LPGA Tour, and five from the LPGA of Japan.
"In addition to this remarkable victory, a Zero Friction Golf Tee was played to seize another two top-10 finishes and one extraordinary round of -65, this PGA Professional’s personal best score," adds Herron.
Zero Friction Golf Tees resist friction creating a purer contact point which results in extremely long and accurate drives, so long that it is a major sponsor of the Long Driver of America Association and is the Exclusive Golf Tee of the RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship. The company has also signed long-driving legend Sean "The Beast" Fister to use and endorse the company’s revolutionary Zero Friction Golf Tee.
For bigger driver heads, a new, longer, 3-¼" ZF tee model is now available and not only for the Professionals but for every golfer. And for the traditionalists, a new ZF Hardwood has begun shipping into the marketplace.
Excel Golf Tee, Inc. of Itasca, IL, a full-service distributor of wooden golf tees serving the golf industry manufactures the entire Zero Friction Golf Tee line. Its goal is to provide the highest quality tees at an affordable price with timely and economical distribution.
