SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (April 25, 2011) – The Gateway Pro Tour announced today that Scratch Golf, a premium golf equipment manufacturer dedicated to providing golfers with the best wedges and irons for their game, is the latest to sign on as a sponsor of the 2011 Gateway Pro Tour.
Scratch Golf’s proprietary fitting system provides golfers and retail sales professionals with three easy-to-identify swing types, which are determined by the golfer’s angle of attack and divot tendencies. All Scratch wedges and irons are available in multiple sole grind selections, which ensure that golfers can find a club that properly matches their particular swing characteristics.
“We are thrilled to partner with the Gateway Pro Tour,” said Mike Hammontree, VP of Business Development at Scratch Golf. “As one of the nation’s leading Tours for developmental players, we cannot think of a better partnership for Scratch Golf Clubs as we continue our growth amongst Tour professionals worldwide.”
Sponsors provide an essential resource for the Gateway Pro Tour. Some of the ways sponsor money allows for the continued growth, success, and recognition of Gateway Pro Tour are – Tour expansion, increased purse sizes, Nationwide and PGA TOUR exemptions, Q-School bonuses, administration, tournament equipment and materials, charity golf tournaments, community involvement and enhanced membership benefits.
“We are happy to begin this new partnership with Scratch Golf and appreciate their support of the Gateway Pro Tour,” said Ryan Pray, Executive Director of the Gateway Pro Tour.
