DENVER, June 11, 2007 – YES! Golf had an outstanding week on the Women’s Professional Tours. YES! won on the Duramed FUTURES Tour, Japan LPGA Tour and 40 players used a YES putter during the McDonald’s LPGA Championship.
"The C-groove putters have become very popular on the women’s tours over the past couple of years," said Francis Ricci, President & CEO YES! Golf. "Once one player finds success with the putter, word spreads fast and before you know it we are flooded with request for putters. We have on average over 50 players each week using our putters on the Duramed Futures Tour and 35 on the LPGA Tour. We are finding similar success on the men’s tour too. A couple players on the PGA Tour have recently switched and found success and now other players are requesting putters."
