SANTA BARBARA,
CA--(October 8, 2002)--ACORN Golf announced today that its new proprietary
three-inch golf tee, called the Perfect-Tee, has been selected by
the Long Drivers of America (LDA) as its "official golf tee." Click here to view: (http://www.1877alesson.com/golfbiznews/images/perfecttee3.gif).
ACORN Golf is
one of LDA's Title Sponsors and will be actively involved in the RE/MAX
World Long Drive Event in Mesquite, Nevada on October 15-17, 2002
and at all 2003 LDA events.
The new long
Perfect-Tee has been tested by LDA members and past National winners
and found to perform as advertised - i.e., longer, straighter, and
more accurate drives can be achieved by using the Perfect-Tee.
The original
versions of the Perfect-Tee have been on the market since January
of 2000 where they were officially introduced at the Orlando 2000
PGA Show. At this time there are an estimated 500,000 golfers using
the Perfect-Tee. The Perfect-Tee offers some great advantages to golfers
over traditional wood golf tees - longer, straighter, and more accurate
drives, the tee doesn't break because it is made from super strong
aero-space composite material, the tee head is 18% larger than a wood
golf tee, 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 head grooves and shoe spikes.
The first Perfect-Tees introduced in 2000 come in two versions: 2.25-inch
for use with regular sized driver heads and 1.5-inch for use with
irons and fairway woods. With the development of oversized driver
heads and golfers who prefer to tee their golf ball up high, the longer
three-inch Perfect-Tee was the "perfect" solution.
The Perfect-Tee
is approved for use under the Rules of Golf by the USGA and the R&A.
Perfect-Tees come in three standard colors: yellow, white, and lavender.
Perfect-Tees
can be purchased at many leading green grass pro shops, retail golf
stores, and catalogs. The tees can also be purchased directly from
ACORN Golf by calling 800.524.1942.
Commenting on
ACORN Golf's new business relationship with the LDA, C. Paul Davis,
President and CEO stated, "ACORN Golf is delighted that LDA members
and past winners have found that the Perfect-Tee meets their need
for a longer golf tee for use with their oversized driver heads. The
feedback we have received from LDA participants and past national
champions confirm that the three-inch Perfect-Tee allows golfers to
hit longer, straighter, and more accurate drives that cannot be achieved
with traditional wood golf tees. We are looking forward to an excellent
business relationship with LDA as a Title Sponsor and helping each
of the LDA participants in the five Divisions, as they try to become
a 2002 National Champion. We are confident that any LDA participant
who elects to use the Perfect-Tee will have a better chance to win
using the three-inch Perfect-Tee", concluded Davis.
