ITASCA, IL. – June 6, 2007 – Excel Golf Products, Inc., manufacturer of the Zero Friction Golf Tee, the "Winningest" high performance golf tee with 29 tour victories and now, over 180 Top-10 PGA Tour finishes, announced today that three LPGA Professionals used a Zero Friction Golf Tee to secure a Top-10 finish at the Ginn Tribute hosted by Annika.
Tropical storm Barry delayed play on Sunday but didn’t diminish the intensity or focus from a passionate LPGA Professional who used a Zero Friction Hardwood during the damp conditions to claim a third place finish, her first Top-10 of the 2007 season. Her scores of 72, 70, 67, 73 placed her 18th on the official money list.
"Two LPGA Professionals used a Zero Friction Hardwood and one LPGA Professional used a Zero Friction Biodegradable to assist their driving accuracy off the tee. The wet conditions made the play difficult. These women strategically used our tees to keep them away from the saturated rough," stated Bob White, Excel Golf Products Director of Sales.
In addition to assisting with her accuracy, one former Futures Tour Player enjoys the unique feel of the Zero Friction Biodegradable. She kept the tee in play during the four day tournament and will continue to play it in the upcoming McDonald’s LPGA Championship.
Zero Friction Golf Tee’s tour success can be contributed to its simple but effective engineering. The Zero Fiction Biodegradable Golf Tee features a unique three-pronged design which reduces the contact area between the golf ball and the tee.
This reduction produces longer and more accurate drives. In an independent laboratory Zero Friction Golf Tees were proven to be the longest and most accurate tees used on Tour.
A fan of the Zero Friction Hardwood, this former ASU and University of Texas player, shot an incredible 69 on a very difficult River Towne golf course during the opening round. Her keen shot making tied her for seventh place, another first Top-10 of the 2007 LPGA season.
The Zero Friction Hardwood Golf Tee has a surface area 30 percent smaller than traditional wood tees. The reduced cup size creates less resistance between the tee and ball which produces longer, straighter drives by inhibiting ball spin. In addition to the unmatched accuracy of the Zero Friction Hardwood, it is also incredibly durable. They are manufactured from an exotic hardwood that is considerably stronger than a traditional wooden tee and have a rich premium natural gloss finish.
