Alpha Golf Title Sponsor Of "The Players Cup" Pro Long Drive Tournament

Press Release

Posted 2004-01-27

Chatsworth, CA, January 26, 2003 -- Alpha Golf (www.alphareactiongolf.com) is the title sponsor for this weekend's "The Players Cup" season-opening pro long drive event. "The Players Cup" kicks off the 2004 long drive tour season and will be held at Orange County National Golf Center in Winter Garden, Florida during the week of the annual PGA Expo.

Alpha Golf will be presenting the company's 460cc "C830-2" driver at booth #4911 from January 29th through February 1st at the 2004 PGA Expo in nearby Orlando, Florida. The late 2003 introduction of Alpha Golf's new-for-2004 "C830-2" set the long drive world abuzz last fall by earning five long drive "major" titles over the course of three weeks. Several members of Alpha Golf's Pro Tour Staff switched to the "C830-2" just before last fall's ReMax World Long Drive Championship in October and many more converts were hitting Alpha drivers two weeks later at the Long Drivers of America (LDA) Tour Championship, which is considered long drive's "second major". Of eight divisions in the two championships, Alpha Golf's 'C830-2' won an unprecedented five major long drive titles in just over two weeks.

Carl Wolter earned the men's open division title of the LDA Tour Championship using an Alpha "C830-2". Sally Dee, the 2003 LDA women's division "Player of the Year", took the women's LDA Tour Championship title and Eric Jones won the 2003 ReMax World Long Drive Championship in the men's senior division with Alpha Golf drivers. Wolter and Jones will be joined by Alpha Golf teammates and elite long driver competitors Vince Howell, David Mobley, Danny Luirette and Kevin Bullard at "The Players Cup". Alpha officials expect many other competitors to be using its drivers as word of the performance advantages of the "Increased Target Design" (ITD), which Alpha Golf incorporated into the "C830-2", has spread through the pro long drive community.

"Alpha Golf is happy to be a title sponsor for 'The Players Cup'", Alpha Golf president Jim Yeh noted. "With many PGA members and golf industry professional in town for the 2004 PGA Expo, we expect that the turnout for this event will be outstanding. The Orange County National Golf Center will provide a perfect setting for the long drive event. We are proud to host 'The Players Cup' and we hope that everyone can come out to see some of the world's longest drivers hit our 'C830-2' driver."

Several Alpha Golf tour staff members will be at Alpha's booth during the four days of the 2004 PGA Expo. 2003 LDA Tour Champion and 2002 ReMax World Long Drive champion Carl Wolter will head a list of professional long drivers that will include top LDA competitors Vince Howell, David Mobley, Danny Luirette, Kevin Bullard and the 2003 ReMax World Long Drive Senior division champion Eric Jones. PGA Expo attendees and members of the media are invited to visit booth 4911 to meet these athletes and learn more about the benefits of Alpha Golf's "C830-2" technology.
