Evolve Golf's Epoch tee a big success during '08 PGA Tour season

OCEAN ISLE, N.C. -- Evolve Golf - maker of the No.1 performance tee on the PGA Tour -announces that its popular Epoch was used in 11 PGA Tour victories during 2008, for a total of 108 major Tour wins worldwide since its introduction in 2004.

A staple in the bags of more than 40 TOUR pros, the Epoch is the only performance tee with radius posts that span the width of a golf ball dimple. This unique feature creates the lowest coefficient of friction of any tee, eliminating deflection at impact and increasing ball speed and control off the tee.

The Epoch has been scientifically proven via a series of rigorous independent robotic tests combined with extensive player testing to provide improvements of up to 12 yards distance and 9 yards accuracy.

"The Epoch has managed to do what no other performance golf tee has, become necessary equipment for the best players in the world," says BJ Maloy, Evolve Golf Founder and CEO. "Since we don't pay players to use our tees, our growth illustrates that Evolve products provide gains in both distance and accuracy. We've seen double the amount of Tour victories this past year alone."

Epoch tees are crafted from renewable and recycled materials and are several times more durable than their wooden counterparts. The aesthetic advantages of Epoch have been embraced by a growing and substantial number of world class facilities who have begun replacing wooden tees with Evolve's environmentally friendly offerings.
