Ocean Isle, NC January, 21 2009 – Evolve Golf, Inc.
News Summary
· Evolve Golf – maker of Epoch, the #1 performance tee of the PGA Tour – will display its new Vireo-S3 tee and the company’s proprietary Sweet Spot System at the 2009 PGA Merchandise Show (Booth #4202) in Orlando, Florida and for testing during Demo Day at nearby Orange County National Golf Center.
· Constructed completely from environmentally-friendly materials, Vireo-S3 features a wider, deeper cup for greater stability than traditional wood offerings. It is also the first Evolve Golf tee to incorporate the company’s groundbreaking marking system and coinciding proprietary Internet application – The Sweet Spot System — showing the proper tee height for consistent alignment between the golf ball and driver’s “sweet spot” (http://www.evolvegolf.com/settings.php).
· To use the Sweet Spot System – which promotes increased distance and accuracy – golfers simply enter the make and model of a driver and the application shows its recommended depth of insertion mark to use when placing the tee into the ground. This guide is a visual reference tool featuring four evenly spaced ovals printed on the stem of the Vireo-S3.
· Cuscowilla, Diamond Creek, and Reynolds Plantation are among the substantial and growing number of marquee clubs and resorts worldwide that prefer the aesthetic advantages of Evolve’s eco-friendly golf tees over traditional wooden tees.
· Since its 2004 debut, Evolve Golf has recorded 109 major Tour wins, including 34 PGA Tour victories. The company’s popular Epoch – which will also be on display – 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.
