LOUISVILLE - On Saturday, July 9, 2005 join Louisville Golf for the first annual Play Persimmon Golf Day. On this day Louisville Golf invites players to enjoy the feel and playability of a Persimmon driver, fairway wood and/or putter, if you aren't already doing so. This is an invitation to play golf the way nature intended us to play. Louisville Golf founder Elmore Just called Persimmon: "Nature's gift to the game of golf."
"There are golfers who play with Persimmon woods that prefer it for its feel and playability," said Josh Fischer, Marketing Director. "For those who have not, we guarantee that this trip down memory lane will be an enjoyable one. Who knows, you might even experience better results with wood woods and seek our company out for the latest in Persimmon golf club innovation?"
Persimmon can provide you with a golfing experience unlike any other material. We guarantee that you will have more fun golfing on this day than any other playing day of the year. Enrich your game with Persimmon and help us celebrate its history on this special day. Show other golfers that they have a Persimmon choice.
"We see that as our place in the industry, to continue to offer Persimmon and other wood-centric golf clubs to the golfing public as a choice," said Mike Just, President. "We see our company as a very historic company. We are the last company still making, advertising and innovating wood golf clubs and we are proud to be one of the few golf companies that make their product here in the United States."
Most Louisville Golf wood products take over 100 hand operations in production, made right her in the USA. Louisville Golf is a 31-year old company and owns a portion of the No. 2 course in Kentucky, Persimmon Ridge. Louisville Golf is a privately owned, family run business located in Louisville, KY. Its founder, Elmore Just, wrote The Persimmon Story, an instructive journey through the art of crafting golf clubs from Persimmon wood. This book is out of print but its is online on the Louisville Golf website: www.louisvillegolf.com
"My brother Elmore was passionate about Persimmon," said Mike Just. "He really believed that it had a place in the game and would make a comeback in some shape or form. Our product line uses Persimmon in drivers, fairway woods, mallet putters and putter inserts. Our NIBLICK line is probably our best design, and we back that up by offering a money back guarantee with it. We have a blast making and marketing these clubs, we know that you will have a blast playing Persimmon on July 9."
Davis Love III, one of golf's greatest modern players, said about Persimmon in a recent auto-biography: "Somehow golf is more pleasing with Persimmon. I imagine it will make a little comeback someday." The sound and feel of a well-struck Persimmon wood is one of sport's greatest thrills. Louisville Golf sees as its charge to make sure that part of the game is never lost. Please join them for National Play Persimmon Day.
