ITASCA, IL. -- At the 2005 British Open, an old and respected course combined with a new and increasingly-trusted product produced outstanding results in one of the toughest tests of championship golf.
Until last week, it was very unlikely that the Old Course at St. Andrews had seen a product like the Zero Friction Golf Tee™. Now that the home of golf has viewed first-hand what the revolutionary product can do for golfers, it's likely to become a fixture there - as well as at many other golf courses around the world.
Five players who used the Zero Friction tee during the British Open finished in the top 15, including one who tied for third. Zero Friction users also recorded two ties for 11th and two ties for 15th. In all, nine players who zeroed in on Zero Friction's unique three-pronged teeing system made the cut. The results are another example of how far Zero Friction has taken its users since first being introduced on the PGA Tour at the beginning of May.
"We knew that we would have a healthy field of players using Zero Friction Tees at the British Open. The Old Course at St. Andrews is an open links course where conditions could be hazardous and we were confident that Tour players who wanted to control their ball flight in the wind would put our product into play," says Mike Herron, Business Development Manager for Excel Golf Tee, Inc., the parent company of Zero Friction.
The Zero Friction tee provides less resistance between the golf ball and the golf tee for longer, straighter drives. Its reduced spin rate fights dispersion, thereby keeping the ball on line and in the fairway.
