Ocean Isle, NC August 10, 2009 – Evolve Golf, Inc.
News Summary
* Evolve Golf – maker of the No. 1 performance golf tee on Tour – confirms the winner of the PGA Tour’s Legends Reno-Tahoe Open relied on its patented Epoch tee.
* The Epoch golf tee has won 118 times on the major tours since its 2004 debut, including 43 wins on the PGA Tour.
* The Epoch 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.
* Not just built for performance, the Epoch – like all Evolve Golf products – is environmentally friendly. Made from recycled materials, the mower-friendly design is ten times more durable than its wooden counterparts.
