Volvik Golf Balls reported a first time hole in one story to golf writers today. Katie Gribbon scored her career first ace at the tender age of ten years. Ms. Gribbon was participating in the Okee Gold Cup, Palm Beach County and Broward County Junior event when her sixth hole par three shot found the cup from the tee. Katie is a member of the LPGA/USGA Girls of West Palm.
The Palm Beach side won the event in part due to the hole in one by Gribbon. Witnessed by head professional at Okeeheelee Golf Course Mary-Lee Cobick, LPGA who said, "I’ve worked with Katie for a couple of years now and just happened to come up to the hole as she was getting ready to hit. I had one of our new golf professionals with me and told him of my experience with Katie. Her shot was a great one that landed on the green took one hop and landed in the hole. She was so excited she ran all the way to the hole."
Okeeheelee Golf Course is an important fixture in the Palm Beach County junior golf world. They offer five levels of instruction for juniors and host as many summer events, one of which was the Okee Gold Cup. With a very low instructor to student ratio the LPGA and PGA professionals produce results as seen in young Katie Gribbon.
FLGolf, Inc. spokeman Glen Coombe said, "Performance has always been the engine that drives the Volvik brand. The Crystal ball has been a solid performer for slower swing speeds. This is evident in the play of juniors as well as ladies and seniors. Kids love the colors and Volvik offers no less than nine different colors. In teaching juniors to play it is recognized that early success is key. Volvik Crystal balls offer outstanding feel, longer ball flight, outstanding putting and fun colors."
Coombe went on to say, "Our testing has shown that the current crop of Crystal golf ball imitators have fallen woefully short on performance and distance. Volvik invites you to play any current imitator beside the original Crystal golf ball by Volvik. Tell us your thoughts. One Crystal imitator fell twenty yards short in a simulator test against Volvik’s market leader! In a rather unscientific test I’ve drop tested most all our imitators against our Crystal ball. Most fail to rebound at all close to the Crystal by Volvik. If your swing speed puts more than a seven iron in your hands from 150 yards out (at sea level) you need a lower compression Volvik golf ball."
