Perfect-Tee(TM) wins big at RE/MAX World Championship
SANTA BARBARA, CA--(November 4, 2002)--ACORN Golf, Inc. announced today that its new, proprietary, and longer three-inch version of its highly successful 2.25-inch Perfect-Tee(TM) scored impressive wins at the recent RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship held in Mesquite, Nevada on October 15-19, 2002. Four the 21 finalists used the Perfect-Tee; Pat Dempsey won the Senior Division with a drive of 342 yards, Mike Gorton placed second in the Senior Division with a drive of 336 yards, John Tutty placed fifth in the Senior Division with a drive of 319 yards, and Jo D. Duncan placed second in the Women's Division with a drive of 286 yards and all used the Perfect-Tee throughout the competition.
The Perfect-Tee is the "official golf tee" of the Long Drivers of American (LDA), an official sponsor of the RE/MAX 2002 World Long Drive Championship, and will also be an official sponsor for all 2003 LDA events.
Over the past year most golf equipment companies have announced new drivers that incorporate oversized driver heads attempting to provide golfers at all levels of playing ability, including RE/MAX-LDA competitors with longer drives.
To meet that need ACORN Golf designed a longer three-inch Perfect-Tee that works well for RE/MAX-LDA competitors, as well as regular golfers who use drivers that have oversized heads and/or who like to tee their golf ball up high. The three-inch Perfect-Tee is the "perfect" answer to meet this fast emerging market need. This new tee has been thoroughly tested by PGA professionals, low and high handicap amateurs, and by many members of the Long Drivers of America, and now RE/MAX competitors, and found to perform as advertised - i.e., longer, straighter, and more accurate drives can be achieved by using the Perfect-Tee.
The three-inch Perfect-Tee was designed to incorporate all of the benefits and features of the highly successful standard 2.25-inch Perfect-Tee, but it also incorporates new "retention teeth" that minimizes and/or eliminates tees from flying after being struck by a golf club while hitting a golf ball off a tee box. Some of the other important features incorporated into the three-inch Perfect-Tee include: the tee won't break because it is made from super-strong aero-space composite material and golf balls can be teed up to the same height each and every time. The Perfect-Tee can also be used to repair ball marks on the green and clean debris from golf club hear grooves and shoe spikes. For those who barely put the Perfect-Tee ground and for those who may still have problems with tee flying, a tethered version is now available.
In addition to its playing benefits over traditional wood golf tees, the three-inch Perfect-Tee also offers a significant cost savings because it doesn't break like long wood tees. The greater stability inherent with the Perfect-Tee (due to its head being 18% larger than a wood tee) becomes even more important when balls are teed up to the higher heights required by oversized drivers.
The Perfect-Tee is approved for use under the Rules of Golf by the USGA and the R&A.
Commenting on the success of its three-inch Perfect-Tee at the recent RE/MAX event, C. Paul Davis, President and CEO stated, "We are delighted that 27 competitors at the RE/MAX World Drive Championship used the Perfect-Tee and four of them were finalists. The "frosting on the cake" for us was when Pat Dempsey won the Senior Division with a drive of 342 yards using the Perfect-Tee. We think that speaks volumes for the benefits of Perfect-Tee - longer and straighter drives", said Davis. "Only two of the 168 RE/MAX competitors had used the Perfect-Tee prior to the RE/MAX event. The fact that so many competitors chose to use the Perfect-Tee I believe says something important, concluded", Davis
Perfect-Tees can be purchased at many leading green grass pro shops, retail golf stores, and catalogs. The three-inch Perfect-Tees, as well as the standard products can also be purchased directly from ACORN Golf at: 800.524.1942, or on its website at: http://www.perfecttee.com.
