Up and Coming Wedge Maker Scratch Golf’s New Website to Reflect Company’s Transition From Custom Grind Manufacturing House to OEM
Eugene, OR, January 17, 2006 – Scratch Golf announced today the re-launch of its website, www.scratchgolf.com. Scratch Golf’s new website reflects the company’s transition from a custom grind only company to its current status as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). With major golf equipment retailers and international distributors now offering Scratch Golf’s JLM Series wedges, the new and improved Scratch Golf website will better function as a resource to support these retailers and their sales teams. Golfers everywhere are becoming more and more educated to the benefits provided by Scratch Golf’s unique ability to match a golfer’s swing to an appropriate sole grind. The new Scratch Golf website now better serves retailers and the general golfing public in their quest to find the best grind for a particular swing. Other areas of interest featured on the new Scratch Golf site include a "Forged vs. Cast" section, a PGA Tour news section and a simple and effective "Get Fit" section where golfers can very easily find the best grind to match their swing. Scratch Golf also expects retailers to use the Get Fit section in their efforts to match their customers’ swings with the best Scratch Golf grind.
"We at Scratch Golf are very excited to offer our re-vamped website to golfers everywhere," Scratch Golf COO Chad Techner stated. "The new site really helps to communicate the direction that Scratch Golf is heading in 2007 and beyond. Whereas we began doing custom grinds only, we now have taken the knowledge from three years and over 3,000 custom wedges to create grinds that fit most every golfer playing the game today. Scratch Golf provides options that no other wedge company can offer and we are very proud that our new website reflects our unique ability to help golfers improve their games by putting in their hands an appropriately matched grind that will suit their swing, divot patterns and impact conditions. This project has been a true team effort among all of the Scratch Golf team members and we are very pleased with the results. We encourage everyone visit our website to fit themselves and see the difference having the right scoring tools in their bag can make. The improvement will be dramatic."
Scratch Golf’s new website will be a dynamic site that will be changed and updated frequently. With increased PGA Tour usage expected, many of these updates will occur on a weekly basis. Some links of interest on the site as it exists as of this re-launching include:

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. Having made over 3,000 custom wedges, Scratch Golf was able to create a simple system whereby golfers can match their swing characteristics to the right grind for them. Further, Scratch Golf wedges offer outstanding "feel" due to the use of truly forged 1018 Soft 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 2006 Scratch Golf has become the fastest growing wedge on the PGA Tours and earned numerous top tens, including a top ten at the prestigious 2006 PGA Nationwide Tour Championship. At the 2006 PGA Tour Q-School qualifying tournament, Scratch Golf wedges were used to earn a tie for 8th place, which provided that golfer with exempt status on the PGA Tour for 2007.
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. Both the Boys and Girls 2006 Junior Amateur "Players of the Year" used Scratch Golf wedges.
