Also captures 65% of the plastic cleat field at The Memorial Tournament
BRENTWOOD, Tenn., June 6, 2011 … Softspikes®, the world’s best-selling golf cleat brand and maker of the #1 Cleat on TOUR, made history this weekend with the lowest four round score total in the history of the Nationwide Tour. Finishing 29 under par, Softspikes’ BLACK WIDOW Tour cleat birdied its way to the best streak in tournament history. In addition, 4 of the top 5 players at the Melwood Prince Georges County Open were wearing Softspikes-brand cleats.
Softspikes also claimed 65% of the plastic cleat field this weekend at the PGA Memorial Tournament. Five of the Top 8 finishers were wearing Softspikes/Pridesports cleats. The BLACK WIDOW Tour cleat captured another Top 3 in Muirfield Village.
“We are very proud to see our cleat setting a new Tournament record,” said John Hohman, Vice President of Marketing, PrideSports. “Softspikes has once again made golf history.”
Softspikes’ patented Dynamic Cleat Technology allows its cleats to be responsive to all terrains – Tee Boxes, Fairways, Roughs, Greens, etc – providing confidence on every swing of the club. In other words, longer drives, better iron shots and lower scores. For more information on Softspikes, please visit www.softspikes.com.
