July 17, 2009 (Oak Brook Terrace, IL) Zero Friction Tees, the No. 1 Performance Tee on the PGA Tour™, will be visible on course and in retail at this week’s British Open. The event, which is being held at the Ailsa Course at Turnberry, has been one of the most highly anticipated Opens in recent years.
On the course, Zero Friction 3-prong hardwood tees will be in play among many in the field. As the only wood tee that comes complete with a performance cup, Zero Friction 3-prong hardwood is where Technology Meets Tradition™. As one of the most prestigious and traditional golf tournaments, The Open Championship is the ideal event for Excel Golf Products, Inc. to have one of their newest products on display.
The patented 3-prong design mimics the purpose of the original Zero Friction Tee as the performance cup significantly reduces the contact area between the tee and ball by 66%. Available in natural and white, and in sizes of 2 ¾ and 3 ¼, Zero Friction 3-prong hardwood is the solution for traditional golfers looking to make a technological change.
Excel Golf has also imprinted special edition Zero Friction bio-composite tees for retail at Turnberry. The tees are imprinted with The Open logo. The tees can be found at retail sites throughout the grounds of Turnberry.
“The Open Championship is one of the most respected tournaments in all of golf and we are glad to be playing a part in it,” said John Iacono, Founder and C.E.O of Excel Golf Products, Inc. “Zero Friction bio-composite has been so well received on tour and 3-prong hardwood is following the same path.”
Zero Friction Tees have accounted for over 50 victories and more than 300 top-ten finishes since becoming a fixture on professional tours. In the field at The Open this week is Zero Friction staff player Kenny Perry, who has a pair of wins to his credit so far in 2009. Perry’s victories came at the FBR Open and the Travelers Championship. He is averaging 292 yards per drive on tour this season and ranks 4th in total driving.
