TRUE TEMPER CONTINUES TOUR SUCCESS IN 1997
Sweeps Major Tournaments....Again

Memphis, TN - September 8, 1997 - Once again, True Temper has proven that it is a driving force on the professional tours throughout the world. To date, players using True Temper shafts have won over 60 golf tournaments worldwide, more than all other shaft companies combined.

Professional golf’s four majors, The Masters, U.S. Open, British Open, and PGA Championship, were won by players using True Temper shafts. Each of this year’s winners played Dynamic Gold® steel shafts in their irons. The winners of this year’s British Open and PGA Championship also used EI-70® graphite wood shafts to help capture their first major championships.

True Temper is also having an exceptional year with SensiCore™, the revolutionary vibration damping technology used in their steel golf shafts. To date, SensiCore™ has helped tour players reach the winner’s circle twenty times in 1997. This year’s PGA Championship was also the first major championship where the winner used True Temper shafts with SensiCore™ technology. True Temper President Scott Hennessy notes, “We are very pleased with the way SensiCore™ has been received on the world’s professional tours. We have already surpassed the number of SensiCore™ wins achieved in all of 1996. SensiCore™ technology offers the world’s best players the consistent performance benefits of steel, with a soft, solid feel at impact.” SensiCore™ is now being played by over 40 tour professionals.
