Eugene, OR Based Company to Host Interactive Booth at Junction City, OR, PGA Nationwide Tour Stop Beginning Today and Throughout the Weekend
Eugene, OR, September 10, 2007 – Scratch Golf (www.scratchgolf.com) announces today that it will be hosting a booth all week starting today in support of its regional sponsorship of this week’s PGA Nationwide Tour Event the "Oregon Classic Presented by Kendall Automotive Group". The yearly Nationwide Tour Stop will be held at Shadow Hills Country Club in Junction City, Oregon, which is about twenty minutes from Scratch Golf’s world headquarters in the Eugene area. Scratch Golf wedges have earned an outstanding reputation out on the Nationwide Tour and last month earned its place as the # 1 Forged Wedge on the PGA Nationwide Tour*. As always, Scratch Golf PGA Tour Representative Paul Friedrich will be on hand to provide insight and assistance to Tour players that currently use or are interested in learning about Scratch Golf’s line of premium forged, super soft 1018 Carbon Steel wedges. Scratch CEO Ari Techner and Scratch Chief Design Engineer & Master Grinder Jeff McCoy will be employing the "Trackman" state of the art launch monitoring system which will be set up for the players to dial in their clubs while being projected on a 40" LCD flat screen TV monitor. A 3D scanner will also be used for players interested in replicating a favorite wedge using Scratch Golf’s premium 1018 Carbon super soft technology. Jeff McCoy will then take this information and grind the desired wedges for the Tour players right there on the spot.
The public will also be catered to by Scratch Golf at the Oregon Classic. Custom Golf Sales Director Patrick Boyd will work with attendees to find just the right grind for their swings at a hitting net in the "demo" section of the booth. Scratch Golf COO Chad Techner will be working with guests at computer stations which will allow the public to preview Scratch Golf’s Online Custom Design Studio, which will debut later this month. One computer station will be broadcast on the LCD screen so passersby can watch others design their own wedge. All told, a grand time will be had for all that visit the Scratch Booth all week at the PGA Nationwide Tour "Oregon Classic".
"It is really an exciting time for all of us at Scratch Golf," Scratch Golf CEO Ari Techner commented. "While we attend the ‘Oregon Classic’ every year, this year especially feels like a celebration of all the positive things that are happening here at Scratch. We have had another outstanding year on tour so far, we earned a spot as the # 1 Forged Wedge on the Nationwide last month, our sales for August set a new company record and we have an amazing online Custom Design Studio that we are a week or two away from being ready to launch and which we are previewing this week. While we will be super busy at the booth all week, we hope to have a lot of fun and we know that anybody that comes by to visit will have a great time. We are really pleased with where we are as a company right now and we invite everyone that can to visit our booth at the ‘Oregon Classic’. We’ll be here all week for the practice rounds and throughout the weekend."
