Scratch Wedges Tie for 5th and 10th at "Melwood Prince George’s County Open" in Mitchelville, Maryland
Eugene, OR, May 29, 2007 – Scratch Golf (www.scratchgolf.com) wedges were used by two top ten finishers at last weekend’s 2007 "Melwood Prince George’s County Open" PGA Nationwide Tour event which was held at The Country Club at Woodmore in Mitchelville, Maryland. With ties for 5th and 10th place at the event, Scratch wedges earned their best finishes of the year on the Nationwide Tour. Three Scratch Golf wedges were also in the bag of a Hooter’s Tour player who tied for 25th. This particular player is looking to earn his exempt status on the Nationwide and can do so if he keeps performing well at the Nationwide events in which he plays.
"It was another exciting week for us on the Nationwide," Scratch Golf’s PGA Tour Representative Paul Friedrich stated. "Our numbers of wedges in play have consistently climbed so it was nice to see a couple of top tens happen this week for us. As always, we are so appreciative of all the feedback we get from these world class players and each week more and more guys are putting our wedges into play. We hope to keep things rolling as the summer kicks in. Congrats to these three fine players. We look forward to following their progress throughout the year."
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.
