“Every year the WGC Bridgestone Invitational draws an elite field of players from around the world, and it’s no surprise that the top performers are using the Epoch tee,” says Evolve Golf Founder and CEO, BJ Maloy. “Each week, more and more Tour stars embrace the distance and accuracy benefits our eco-friendly, performance tees provide.”

Testimonials From Top Clubs Nationwide

“We decided to switch to the Epoch for our 2009 season with the expectation that we would use half of our hardwood consumption. We purchased 300,000 hardwood tees in 2008 and thus far our members have consumed just 60,000 Epoch tees to date,” says Sean Martin, PGA Head Professional, Atlanta Athletic Club. “Our tee areas are cleaner and the response from our membership has been overwhelmingly positive. I would gladly endorse the Epoch to any golf shop, as the switch has saved us money.”

“We switched to Evolve products last year and our members love them,” says Bob Mauragas, Vice President of Golf Operations at Reynolds Plantation. “Players are actually picking up tees as they leave the tee box.”

“Since switching to the Epoch in 2008 we have seen the consumption of golf tees trend down substantially each season,” says Katie Clark, Merchandising Manager, The Sanctuary Golf Club. “The members have nothing but positive feedback regarding our switch to the Epoch, as our tee boxes are now free of broken wooden tees.”

“Our members love Evolve tees. So much so that we keep a supply on each par three,” says Chip King, Director of Golf at Grandfather Golf and Country Club. “As a result, we have virtually eliminated the mess of broken tees on the course.”

“The fact is that we are very happy with the Epoch,” says Matt Gallagher, PGA Director of Golf, Country Club of Fairfax. “We have cut the number of tees we go through by two-thirds compared to the number of wood tees we purchased last year.”

“The tees are a huge hit at Black Hall. I didn’t know it was possible for humans to have these kinds of feelings about golf tees,” says Andrew Campbell, Head Professional, Black Hall Club.

About Evolve Golf

Evolve Golf is the leading manufacturer of sustainable performance golf tees and products are available at more than 2,200 marquee private clubs, daily-fee facilities, off-course and online retailers worldwide. The Epoch performance tee was launched in 2004 and quickly gained a devoted following. It has since been a part of 122 worldwide victories including 45 on the PGA Tour. Its unique design is scientifically proven to provide gains in both distance and accuracy.

In early 2009, Evolve Golf introduced the Sweet Spot System – an option available for all Evolve tees – it is an interactive tool that takes the guesswork out of consistently teeing a ball to the proper height by aligning the ball with the driver’s “sweet spot”, assuring golfers get optimum distance and accuracy on every drive. Easy to use, players simply enter the make and model of their driver at Evolve Golf’s website and the application returns the recommended depth of insertion mark to use when placing the tee into the ground. This guide is a visual reference tool featuring four evenly spaced marks printed on the stem of the tee (http://www.evolvegolf.com/settings.php).

Company Founder and CEO BJ Maloy was named one of GOLF Magazine’s top-10 industry innovators of 2008. Maloy was chosen out of hundreds of pioneers for his contributions as an entrepreneur and his quest to enhance the environment through Evolve Golf’s revolutionary products.

Improved Durability, New Sizes and Shaft Design for Tour’s No. 1 Performance Tee

Ocean Isle, NC, April 30, 2008 – Evolve Golf, Inc

News Summary

• Evolve Golf announces a new version of its popular Epoch – the No. 1 performance tee on Tour – combining a slimmer shaft and new lengths for easier insertion into the ground with an enhanced construction that is up to 10 times more durable than wooden tees.
• The Epoch is now available in 3-¼” and 2-¾” heights as well as a 1-½” version designed specifically for use with fairway woods, irons and today’s must-have hybrids.
• A part of 99 major Tour wins since its 2004 debut, including an impressive 27 PGA Tour victories, Epoch is the only tee with radius posts that span the width of a golf ball dimple. This patented design creates the lowest coefficient of friction of any tee, eliminating deflection at impact and increasing ball speed and control off the tee leading to significant improvements in distance and accuracy. Since the enhanced version was introduced early this season on the PGA Tour, no player to try the tee in competition has stopped using it.
• In addition to its performance advantages, the Epoch also furthers Evolve Golf’s mission to be a completely sustainable company. Epoch tees are made entirely from recycled and renewable materials that are substantially more resilient than tees made from wood, corn or bamboo. As a result, one Epoch tee can last an entire round or more. 
• Retailing at just $6.95 per 50-pack, the Epoch tee is highly affordable and provides the greatest price-to-performance benefit of any golf technology introduced the past 25 years. A player stands to see far greater dollar-for-dollar distance and accuracy improvement with Epoch than with any other piece of equipment in the bag.

Quotes

“The Epoch’s new, more durable design is great for both golfers and courses,” says BJ Maloy, Evolve Golf Founder and CEO. “The average person uses five to seven wooden tees each round, which wastes resources, increases costs for the golf facility and creates an unsightly mess around teeing areas. Our product helps players perform better and significantly reduces the amount of tees needed to play a round of golf.”

Attributed to: John Lavelle, Superintendent of Diamond Creek GC

“Since switching over to Evolve’s tees there’s been a noticeable reduction in tee litter,” says John Lavelle, Superintendent of Diamond Creek GC in Banner Elk, NC. “It’s rare that we see a broken tee anymore, and if we do it’s a wood tee.”
