GOLF HISTORY WRITTEN AT AUGUSTA.... AND FOR THE THIRD STRAIGHT YEAR TRUE TEMPER’S DYNAMIC GOLD IS THE CHAMPION’S CHOICE!

Memphis, TN - May 5, 1997 - On Sunday, April 21, the Augusta National Golf Club bestowed honorary membership to the youngest Master’s Champion in history. In the process of claiming his first major championship as a professional, the 21 year old also captured a long list of records, many of which stood since before he was born.

Another interesting fact is that the shafts chosen by this year’s champion, and by eleven of the last twelve Master’s winners was Dynamic Gold, by True Temper. Moreover, since the introduction of Dynamic Gold steel shafts in 1980, only twice were they not played by the winner of the Masters.

In today’s high tech golf market, where huge dollars in play-for-pay incentives abound, True Temper has never paid a player to use a True Temper product. It is the professional’s shaft of choice to deliver peak performance. In fact, True Temper shafts led both Wood and Iron shaft counts at both the 1997 Tournament Players Championship and the 1997 Masters Tournament. *

True Temper is the worldwide leader in the production and sale of golf shafts, and is proud to be the golf shaft brand of choice to the finest golf club makers and players in the world.
