ITASCA, IL. – September 5, 2006 – The Excel Golf Tee Company, manufacturer of the "Winningest" high performance golf tee with 21 professional tour victories and over 150 top-10 finishes, announced today that the company has entered into an exclusive agreement with Sellinger’s Power Golf.
Sellinger’s Power Golf, the retail arm of Long Drivers of America (LDA), will be the exclusive retailer for the longest 4" Zero Friction Golf Tees. This arrangement is a strategic step in Excel Golf Tee’s long-term plan and commitment to LDA.
"This alliance makes perfect sense to Excel Golf Tee. Our Zero Friction Golf Tees are the Official Golf Tee of the RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship and Long Drivers of America. Sellinger’s Power Golf is where the long drive fans and competitors shop, so our new 4 inch "Power Tees" belong in this environment," says Mike Herron the Business Development Manager for Excel Golf Tee, Inc. "We’re confident that this newly formed development will prove successful for both Excel Golf Tee and Sellinger’s."
Sellinger’s Power Golf will sell the new 4" Zero Friction Biodegradable Golf Tees and 4" Zero Friction Hardwood Golf Tees in quantities of 50, 250 and 500. For pricing and information contact www.sellingerspowergolf.com
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.
"Both of the 4" Zero Friction Golf Tees models are a favorite on the LDA. It is because of the additional height and their inherent ability to lower spin rates and increase driving distances," adds Herron.
Another important element in the Excel Golf Tee LDA initiative is the renewed agreement between Excel Golf Tees and Sean "The Beast" Fister. Last year the company signed Fister to play the Zero Friction Golf Tees, to attend the PGA Show in Orlando, Florida, and to become a spokesperson for Zero Friction Golf Tees.
Fister successfully translated the long drive message of Zero Friction Golf Tees throughout the year. Most importantly, he won the 2005 RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship with a drive of 377 yards, 3.5 inches. Fister is the only American to win three world ong drive titles. At 43 years and 4 months, he became the oldest world champion.
Fister will attempt to defend his title at the upcoming 2006 RE/MAX WLDC, which takes Oct. 24-28 in Mesquite, Nevada. ESPN will debut a 90-minutes highlights package from the event on Decemeber 24, and the Zero Friction Golf Tee logo will be highly visible on the championship tee.
