Fourth Place Finish at Nationwide "Legend Financial Group Classic" in Ohio
Eugene, OR, July 9, 2007 – Scratch Golf (www.scratchgolf.com) announced that its wedges earned a 4th place finish at the PGA Nationwide Tour’s "Legend Financial Group Classic Presented by Cynergies Solutions" which was held at StoneWater GC in Highland Heights, Ohio. In his first week using Scratch Golf equipment, this player recorded his best finish of the year, a solo fourth. The fourth place finish on the Nationwide continued an incredible eight week run during which Scratch Golf wedges have earned 10 Top Ten finishes on PGA Tours worldwide. Scratch Golf wedges also made their major championship debut at last month’s U.S. Open at Oakmont CC in Oakmont, Pennsylvania.
"It has been very exciting for Scratch Golf out on Tour the last couple of months," Scratch Golf PGA Tour Rep Paul Friedrich commented. "Our ‘top five’this week was especially exciting because this player is a new Scratch convert. It’s always rewarding to have a new player put our wedges in play, in this case it was a Tour Department 55 degree special grind. We are making real progress each week and among forged wedge OEM companies, we are taking steps toward being the # 1 forged wedge on the Nationwide Tour. With more and more players using our products, we are confident that we will continue our current hot streak of top tens out on Tour."
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.
