High Point, N.C – Polara Golf’s (www.polaragolf.com) new self-correcting golf ball was featured on the front page of the New York Times and several other major newspapers across the nation yesterday, May 10th creating a media blitz that rocked the golf industry. The newspaper articles generated so much interest in Polara’s Self-Correcting Technology that it prompted a request for CEO, Gary De Bay, to appear on CNBC’s Street Signs later that same afternoon.
According to the National Golf Foundation (NGF), golf rounds are declining, and more and more golfers are leaving the game. It’s apparent that the golf industry needs to find a way to keep these players interested and, if possible, even bring new players to the game. When asked why they left the game, most golfers said the game was too difficult. Recreational golfers are looking for some sort of miracle to help their game. Polara Golf has the answer and it’s not magic, it’s just physics.
Golfers at the Edgewater Driving Range in New Jersey were introduced to Polara’s self-correcting technology by New York Times writer Bill Pennington who was gathering information for an article on Polara Golf and wanted to see what kind of reaction he would get to this new game improvement golf ball. Simply put, golfers featured in the article could not hook or slice the Polara golf balls.

While other golf ball manufacturers “claim” to improve accuracy or reduce hooks and slices, the unique dimple design of the Polara self-correcting golf ball actually does it. Over the past few months, thousands of recreational golfers have tested the Polara golf ball, and the results have always been the same.
Pennington also interviewed Dave Felker, Head of Technology for Polara Golf, and included this quote in his New York Times article:
Dave Felker, the former Callaway golf ball engineer and executive behind the Polara, said his product was meant to grow the game because it is not for the elite golfer. “It’s for the other golfers, the ones who rarely hit it straight,” he said. “It’s for people who want to be embarrassed less, play faster and enjoy it more. I respect the U.S.G.A., they help identify the best golfers in the world, but what about the rest of us?”
Interest in Polara’s new Self-Correcting golf balls continues as inquiries continue to filter in from TV news stations and newspapers worldwide. Interviews and segments on Polara Golf are already scheduled with BBC Radio in London, Daily Planet (Discovery Channel in Canada), as well as ABC News and Fox News over the next few days.
