MacGregor’s V-FOIL-GT putter hailed as

ALBANY, GA – March 8, 2005 – Today's Golfer, a premier golf publication in the United Kingdom, hailed the MacGregor V-FOIL GT putter "Best in Test" in its February issue. The Magazine declared the V-FOIL-GT putter "a delight of modern engineering."

Today's Golfer evaluated 15 putters on design, build/options, performance and value. The V-FOIL-GT putter excelled in all categories, scoring a resounding 87% combined total, while the closest competitor earned a 79% overall rating. Simon Daddow, equipment editor of Today's Golfer extols the V-FOIL-GT putter as "a truly outstanding design which inspires masses of confidence. It's well-made and well thought-out and the extra weights mean you can get the feel just right for you."

"We are thrilled to be recognized by Today's Golfer as 'Best in Test' among competitive putters," commented Barry Schneider, owner and CEO of MacGregor Golf. "The V-FOIL-GT has the industry's highest MOI which dramatically reduces clubhead twisting, and a reverse annealed beryllium copper face insert that delivers optimal feel and feedback. This is why so many Tour players use V-FOIL putters despite the fact that we do not pay 'tee-up' money."

MacGregor introduced the V-FOIL-GT putter designed by Bobby Grace in September 2004 at the Valero Texas Open and it was a winner in its PGA tournament debut. Overall, MacGregor's Bobby Grace putters racked up 13 wins and over $22 million in prize money worldwide in 2004.
