Eugene, OR, June 28, 2007 – Scratch Golf (www.scratchgolf.com) has learned that its wedges made their Major Championship debut at the U.S. Open at the storied Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. To date, Scratch Golf wedges have become a fixture on the PGA Nationwide Tour and have already been used by players in PGA Tour events. This is the first appearance of Scratch wedges in a major championship, however.
"We are very proud of having achieved this company milestone," Scratch Golf CEO Ari Techner observed. "This year has really established our product out on Tour and this appearance of our wedges at the U.S. Open makes that statement even stronger. We are really offering a product that is like no other. As more players learn the benefits, more players will start to take advantage of what we have to offer. Control and feel around the greens are the keys to scoring well and we are very proud to offer our unique technology to the best players in the world, as well as to all golfers that want to lower their scores. We hope to hear some good news at the British Open next month!"
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.
