Philadelphia, Pa. (January 4, 2017) – SCNS Sports Foods, marketer and distributor of the popular 1st Tee™ and 10th Tee™ nutrition and energy bars, relaunches healthier Plus+ versions of their product to overwhelming fan-fare. This grabbed the attention of golfers, non-golfers and the media, giving SCNS their first award for the new bars: January Product of the Month on GolfTalk Live.
The 1st Tee Plus+ and 10th Tee Plus+ bars are available in the popular four original variety of flavors: 1st Tee Plus+ Oatmeal Raisin Bar, 1st Tee Plus+ Chocolate Peanut Bar, 10th Tee Plus+ Peanut Honey Bar, and 10th Tee Plus+ Chocolate Peanut Caramel Bar. The re-launched bars now include the “Plus+” as a part of the name to indicate the removal of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and artificial flavors.
“Consumers are asking for healthier alternatives today. We examined our recipes and made a few simple changes,” said Bill Stewart, Chief Operating Officer at SCNS Sports Foods. “We improved our bars and still offer the great taste we are known for.”
The relaunched Plus+ bars still include the supplements that are specially formulated for golfers’ needs. The 1st Tee Plus+ Oatmeal Raisin and Chocolate Peanut contain chamomile, hops and valerian root to help reduce anxiety on the first tee, while the 10th Tee Plus+ Peanut Honey and Chocolate Peanut Caramel include green tea extract and Panax ginseng extract to sustain energy and focus through the back-nine.
The company’s other three bars (1st Tee Honey Almond Gluten-Free Snack Bar, 10th Tee Cranberry Trail Mix Bar, and 1st Tee Dark Chocolate Chip Trail Mix Bars) are not being re-formulated, as the original recipes were free of HFCS and artificial flavors from inception.
“While some golfers still prefer the pre-round doughnut and the mid-round hot dog, many more golfers are looking for healthy snacks on the golf course,” says host Tony Leodora. “The new products from SCNS Sports Foods are not only nutritionally balanced, but they taste good. They’re my food of choice on the golf course.”
The 1st Tee Plus+ and 10th Tee Plus+ bars are available through 2,500 green grass outlets and online at golfenergybar.com.
At the upcoming Philadelphia Golf Show in Oaks, PA, visitors of the GolfTalk Live booth will have the opportunity to taste the re-released nutrition bars being given away as prizes from the famous spinning-wheel. Show host Tony Leodora will also be blogging about his progress at the 2017 PGA Show using the gluten-free 1st Tee Honey Almond bars as meal replacements during the week.
