Scratch Wedges Outnumber All Other Forged Wedges at Nationwide Tour’s "Preferred Health Systems Wichita Open" According to Darrell Survey
Eugene, OR, August 13, 2007 – Scratch Golf (www.scratchgolf.com) has confirmed that its wedges were the # 1 Forged Wedge on the PGA’s Nationwide Tour according to the Darrell Survey Report from the 2007 "Preferred Health Systems Wichita Open", which took place at the Crestview Country Club in Wichita, Kansas. Scratch Golf manufactures premium forged wedges and irons and over the last two seasons has become the fastest growing forged wedge on Tour. More and more Tour players are choosing Scratch Wedges and those making the switch have highlighted the unique, soft feel of Scratch Wedges. Scratch Golf manufacturers its equipment from super soft 1018 Carbon Steel forgings, the softest forging metal in golf. No other manufacturer currently uses 1018 Carbon Steel, which is very costly and which is very labor intensive to produce. Currently the PGA Nationwide Tour Scoring Average Leader, Pre-Cut Scoring Average Leader and Sunday Scoring Average Leaders are using Scratch Golf wedges. At the Wichita Open, Scratch Golf had as many forged wedges in play as the 2nd and 3rd place forged wedge companies combined.
"We are extremely proud to have gained status as the # 1 Forged Wedge on the Nationwide Tour," Scratch Golf CEO Ari Techner began. "We are elated that so many top players feel that using our wedges gives them an edge in terms of scoring and ‘getting it close’. Scratch Golf offers Tour Players, as well as the average golfer, more options than any other golf equipment manufacturer. Our Tour Department, which handles our custom retail orders as well, can make any type of wedge or iron imaginable and the guys out on the Nationwide Tour have shown their appreciation of our unique ability and willingness to provide them with, in most cases, more than they ever imagined they could have in terms of creating equipment to suit the wants and needs of their games. As much as anything else we do, however, the Tour players that have put our wedges into play tell us over and over again that our super soft 1018 Carbon forgings really help bring more feel to their short game than any other equipment company can provide. This Darrell Survey wedge count report, to us, reflects the dedication the entire Scratch Golf team to our goal of providing the finest equipment that can truly help golfers of all ability levels score their absolute best in what we feel is the most important part of the game, wedge-play. As always, we want to thank every Touring Pro that has tried our equipment and, especially, those that have put Scratch Golf wedges in play. Becoming the # 1 Forged Wedge on the PGA Nationwide Tour is a wonderful early milestone for our company and we look forward to many more ahead."
