Press Release
Posted 2006-09-06
Element 21 Golf Company ("E21") (OTC BB:EGLF.OB - News) is pleased to report today that a PGA Tour player using its Eagle One iron shafts tied for 5th at this past weekend's Reno-Tahoe Open played at the Montreux Golf & Country Club in Lake Tahoe, Nevada. With rounds of 66, 66, 69, 71 the tie for 5th place was the player's second best finish since the 2002 PGA golf season.
E21 would also like to congratulate this player for recording his first ever hole-in-one on the PGA Tour on the 17th hole at Warwick Hills Golf & Country Club on August 6th during the Buick Open. For his effort he won Buick's new 2007 Buick Lucerne sedan. The player was quoted as saying, "Out of any hole on the PGA tour that I could choose to hit a hole-in-one, it would be 17 at Warwick Hills, except maybe 16 at Augusta on Sunday."
"As word continues to spread about our shafts we are confident that we will see more touring professionals turning to our game-enhancing technology," commented Mr. Bill Dey, E21's Executive Vice President and General Manager. "During the coming weeks we look forward to getting our shafts into the hands of several very high ranking PGA Tour pros," said Mr. Dey.
During 2006, E21's Tour Van will be present at no less than 30 PGA Tour, Champions Tour and Nationwide Tour events. Having a Tour van with E21 shafts and clubs will enable E21 to quickly provide its products, including customized clubs to its growing list of Tour professionals.
About Element 21 Golf Company:
E21 holds the exclusive right to manufacture golf products using proprietary E21 Alloys. Through a sophisticated multi-technology production path E21 manufactures shafts, drivers, and other clubs with marked improvements in distance, accuracy and feel over competing products. In recent months a number of high profile golf professionals have switched to or began testing E21's Eagle One shafts. E21 Alloys are 55% lighter and offer 25% strength to weight advantage over Titanium alloys, the current standard in the golf equipment industry. The advanced dynamics of E21 Alloys and the material economics offer a performance-enhanced alternative to manufacturing driver clubs with Titanium, the largest segment of the annual 4 billion dollar golf equipment marketplace.
E21 recently announced its "Golf Shot Around the World Mission" in celebration of the 35th anniversary of Alan B. Shepard Jr.'s historic Apollo 14 Mission. Just about every single record for distance in the golf industry will be shattered this fall when an astronaut will hit a golf ball into orbit around the Earth -- using an E21 golf club. It is only natural that this event takes place on the International Space Station, considering that E21 Alloys are also used on the Space Station in high strength, fatigue resistant applications.
E21 Golf -- The Evolution Is Inevitable!
