Attendees of the Orlando ASI show this week will be introduced to a new golf product that may just be the perfect corporate promotional item. The product is not only new and fun, but it actually helps solve a major problem in the world of golf. Each year millions of dollars are spent by golf course superintendents to repair damaged greens resulting from golfers who improperly repair their ball marks. Source1, Inc. of Norcross, GA, the exclusive U.S. supplier to the promotional products industry will showcase the MarkMender™, a lightweight, pocket-sized ball-mark repair tool poised to revolutionize the way ball-marks are repaired. Roy Cranman, the inventor said today, "What corporation, serious about marketing to the golf world, would not want to align itself with a product that helps solve such a major problem for golfers?"

The product is available with customized four color corporate or golf course logos as well as customized four-color magnetic ball markers. In addition to the ball markers, the body of the tool can also be screen or pad printed. Cranman says that the firm is working on a new version of the product made out of a lightweight metal alloy, which should be released in the spring of 2005.

It is estimated that as few as one in ten golfers know how to properly repair their ball marks and the subsequent damage can take weeks to finally heal. The MarkMender™ is easy to use and repairs any ball mark quickly and correctly regardless of a player’s skill level. The product’s prongs surround a ball mark and reach into the green. A golfer simply needs to squeeze and the ball mark is quickly and correctly repaired.

In addition, the MarkMender™ can also be used to hold a cigar and keep them from burning the green as well as to keep the golfer's grips dry in wet conditions. The introductory product is made of a proprietary, space-age polymer that is harder and stronger than many metal alloys.
