September 22, 2009 (Oakbrook Terrace, IL) Excel Golf Products, Inc., maker of Zero Friction Performance Tees, the No. 1 Performance Tee on the PGA Tour ™, is proud to announce that Zero Friction will once again be the Official Tee of the RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship.
The 2009 event, which is being held October 25-30 at the Mesquite Sports and Event Complex in Mesquite, NV, marks the fifth consecutive year that Zero Friction and the Long Drivers of America will partner together for the sport of long drive’s marquee event. All contestants in the RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship, as well as its local and regional qualifiers, will tee-up with a 4″ Zero Friction Tee. Due to the immense popularity of long drive and the recognition of the World Long Drive Championship, Excel Golf released retail packages of 4″ ZFT’s earlier this year.
In 2008, 20-year old Jamie Sadlowski drove his way to becoming the new face of long drive as he won the Championship with a drive of 418 yards, the longest in finals history. Sadlowski, now 21, will be back in October to defend his title against the rest of the world’s greatest long drivers in the Open Division. Also included in the week’s schedule of events are the Senior and Super Senior division qualifying and finals. All division finals will be held on the evening of the 30th under the lights, one of the most unique settings in any sport. Also, Military Long Drive Night will be held on the evening of Wednesday the 28th. On both Military and Finals night, attendees will receive free packages of Zero Friction Tees.
“Long Drivers of America is thrilled to have Zero Friction as a partner and official tee,” said Art Sellinger, Owner/CEO of Long Drivers of America. “There is no doubt about the performance of the Zero Friction Tee. It is far superior to any tee on the market. Long Drivers are looking to optimize launch and spin in a sport where every inch off the tee counts,” added Sellinger. ” As the best in the world take the tee in Mesquite, NV and try to win the crown as RE/MAX World Long Drive Champion there is no doubt about their tee of choice. Zero Friction.”
“I cannot fully express the mutual respect that Excel Golf and the LDA have developed over the years that we’ve worked together,” said John Iacono, Founder and C.E.O of Excel Golf Products, Inc. “As one of the fastest growing sports-and one of the most exciting- long drive is expanding on its worldwide audience year after year and we are glad to be a part of it. The 2009 RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship will undoubtedly be another great competition among the world’s best ball strikers.”
The Zero Friction Performance Golf Tee is the original biocomposite tee with a unique three-prong top that reduces the contact area at impact providing unparalleled distance and accuracy. In addition to being extremely durable, Zero Friction Tees have also accounted for over 50 professional victories and more than 300 top-ten finishes. Zero Friction staff players include Kenny Perry, Mark Wilson, Ryan Palmer, and Bubba Dickerson.
“Zero Friction Tees help me save 200 or more RPM’s of backspin on my drives,” said Tom Garber, 2- time World Long Drive Finalist. “They give me that extra distance I need and that’s why I use them.”
