ITASCA, IL. – September 8, 2006 – The Excel Golf Tee Company, manufacturer of the "Winningest" high performance golf tee with 21 professional tour victories and over some 150 top-10 PGA Tour finishes announced today that a Zero Friction Golf Tee was used to scorch the TPC Boston course record and awarded its user a stellar second place finish.
The moist and windy conditions encouraged a top ranked PGA Professional to continue playing with the Zero Friction Golf Tee during the third round of the Deutsche Bank Championship where he shot an incredible -61 crushing the course record.
"Every week we are surprised to see who is playing with the Zero Friction Golf Tee and this weekend was amazing. Not only is this new Zero Friction Golf Tee supporter one of the most prominent PGA Professionals on Tour but because he played with the leader on the last day, the tee received a ton of television coverage," says Mike Herron, Business Development Manager for Excel Golf Tees, Inc. "We’re thrilled with this weekend’s result and hope this PGA Professional continues to play with our Zero Friction Golf tee."
The Zero Friction Golf Tee with its unique three-pronged design 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 tees used on Tour. In fact, they are the "official" tee of the Long Drive of America Association.
For bigger driver heads and longer distance, 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.
Zero Friction Golf Tees have been put into play to secure 21 professional tour victories. Ten victories came from the PGA Tour, three from the Nationwide Tour, one from the LPGA Tour, and eight from the LPGA of Japan.
Zero Friction Golf Tees are not only popular on the PGA, LPGA, and Nationwide Tours, but they are incredibly popular on the LDA Tour, so popular the company renewed their sponsorship with the Long Driver of America Association. Both the biodegradable and hardwood Zero Friction Golf Tees will be known as the Exclusive Golf Tee of the RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship. The company also signed another year contract with long-driving legend Sean "The Beast" Fister to use and endorse the company’s revolutionary Zero Friction Golf Tees. Fister will attempt to defend his third RE/MAX World Drive Championship this October in Mequite, Nev.
