Eugene, OR, November 16, 2006 – Scratch Golf (www.scratchgolf.com) confirmed today that its wedges were in the bag of one of the top ten finishers at last weekend’s 2006 PGA Nationwide Tour Championship. The tie for eighth earned by Scratch Golf wedges was the third straight Nationwide Tour top ten for the young premium equipment manufacturer in as many weeks.
"As the 2006 PGA Nationwide Tour season comes to an end, we at Scratch Golf would like to thank all of these world class players for accepting us so eagerly in our first year out on Tour," Scratch Golf President and CEO Ari Techner commented. "We could not be more thrilled at the reaction to our products. Our Tour Department has already confirmed seven off season ‘fittings’ with players from the Nationwide Tour who will be visiting us up in Eugene over the winter and we expect to add many more to that list. Many of these players have cited the incredible feel of our wedges as one reason that Scratch Golf wedges are so special. We look forward to meeting with many of the guys from the Nationwide over the winter and we anticipate a great 2007 out on Tour for our young company. Congratulations to all of the fine players that graduated on to the PGA Tour for 2007 and thanks to everyone who tried our products out on Tour this year. We wish everyone the best of luck in 2007."
About Scratch Golf
Scratch Golf is a premium golf equipment manufacturer dedicated to providing golfers with wedges available in an unprecedented five different grind options. These varied grind selections insure that golfers can find a wedge which will match their particular swing characteristics. Scratch Golf provides golfers and retail sales professionals with easy to identify swing types which are determined by the golfer’s angle of attack and divot tendencies. The golfer merely identifies him/her self under one of several categories (such as "sweeper" or "digger") and then chooses the appropriate "grind" for their wedge. Scratch Golf wedges offer outstanding "feel" due to the use of truly forged 1018 Carbon Steel in the Scratch Golf manufacturing process. While many other golf companies offer products that are "form forged" or a combination of cast and forged that they call forged, Scratch Golf insists on providing wedges that offer the precise grain patterns and feel that only a truly forged golf club can provide. Scratch Golf’s Tour Department has built wedges for many players on various PGA Tours. In fact, in 2006 Scratch Golf has become the fastest growing forged wedge on the PGA’s Nationwide Tour and earned top tens at the 2006 Nationwide Tour’s "Pete Dye Classic" and "Oregon Classic", respectively. Consecutive top fives were earned at the Nationwide’s "Palmetto Pride Classic" and "Miccosukee Championships in late October of 2006. This was followed up with a top ten at the prestigious 2006 PGA Nationwide Tour Championship. Scratch Golf wedges were also in the bag of the 2006 U.S. Boys Junior Amateur Champion in July of 2006 and a 54-degree Scratch Golf wedge was used by that champion to hole out from 104-yards in the final round of the Junior Am. Scratch Golf also offers 3 lines of forged irons which are also available in multiple grinds.
