ITASCA, IL. – July 25, 2006 – The Excel Golf Tee Company, manufacturer of the "Winningest" high performance golf tee on the PGA Tour, announced today that their Zero Friction Golf Tee was played at the BC Open to secure two top-10 finishes on the Atunyote Golf Course.
In the southern tier of New York, the Turning Stone Resort hosted the BC Open and presented another opportunity for Zero Friction Golf Tees to be dispersed amongst the PGA Professionals. As with most PGA venues, there were many who played the three-pronged tee but only two pros who controlled the beautiful Atunyote Golf Course with a Zero Friction Golf Tee and tied for sixth place. Each of these top-10 finishes are special. For one Nebraska native, it was his second top-10 finish of the season and for the other PGA Professional it marks the beginning of a low scoring streak.
"This event is considered the friendliest event on the PGA Tour schedule. It’s been a favorite for years and we at Excel Golf Tees are delighted that we captured two top-10 finishes in its final tournament, says Mike Herron, Business Development Manager for Excel Golf Tee, Inc. "These types of top-10 finishes are gratifying for the company. Both of these PGA Professionals are beginning to reach their potential and we feel a part of their success."
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.
Golfers on the major professional tours use Zero Friction’s unique three-pronged teeing system to gain invaluable extra distance and to win thirteen tournaments in the United States and five in Japan. Nine of the US victories came on the PGA Tour, three on the Nationwide Tour and one on the LPGA. In Japan, all victories were experienced on the women’s tour.
"It is great to have this type of success. It validates the Zero Friction’s performance features and it works for all golfers. Last week, a 12-year-old golfer teed up with a Zero Friction Golf Tee and blasted his drive 321 yards and won the REMAX Junior World Long Drive Championship," adds Herron.
Zero Friction Golf Tees resist friction creating a purer contact point which results in extremely long 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.
