Award-Winning Facility Reports Immediate Improvement in Tee Box Conditions
Ocean Isle, NC September, 15 2008 – Evolve Golf, Inc.
News Summary
· Evolve Golf confirms that its popular and sustainable Epoch – the No.1 performance tee on Tour – has been selected as the preferred tee of the award-winning Golf Club at Cuscowilla in Eatonton, Ga.
· The Renowned Bill Coore/Ben Crenshaw designed facility began exclusively carrying the Epoch earlier this season after experiencing a build-up of broken tee litter on its otherwise pristine teeing grounds. Following an extensive search for a sustainable tee option, club management, in consultation with Golf Course Superintendent Rusty Mercer, selected the Epoch due to its superior performance, enhanced durability and recycled and degradable material composition.
· According to club officials, the results have significantly enhanced the already prestigious aesthetics that helped earn Cuscowilla a coveted spot on the 2008 GOLF Magazine “Best Courses You Can Play” ranking.
· The Epoch golf tee has won 105 times on the major tours since its 2004 debut, including 32 wins on the PGA Tour, it is the only performance tee with radius posts that span the width of a golf ball dimple. This unique feature creates the lowest coefficient of friction of any tee, eliminating deflection at impact and increasing ball speed and control off the tee.
· The Epoch has been scientifically proven via a series of rigorous independent robotic tests combined with extensive player testing to provide improvements of up to 12 yards distance and 9 yards accuracy.
· In addition to its performance advantages, Epoch – like all Evolve Golf products – is completely sustainable. Made entirely from recycled and renewable materials, the mower-friendly design lasts 10-times longer than a wooden tee.
· Evolve Golf has initiated a ninety day bulk evaluation program which demonstrates to golf facilities that the company’s sustainable tees are significantly more durable and therefore cost less than wooden tees. Epoch tees are available for $25 per thousand for 90 days from the date a club begins the evaluation program, and offered at $45 per thousand at the conclusion of the evaluation period. The bulk evaluation program shows how using the Epoch reduces the number of tees a golf facility consumes and demonstrates the performance, durability, and sustainable benefits it provides to members and guests.
