TRUE TEMPER TOUR PERFORMANCE REACHES NEW HEIGHTS

Memphis, Tennessee - March 29, 1999 - True Temper Sports registered another outstanding weekend on the PGA and Senior PGA golf tours. For the first time ever, a father – son duo registered wins on their respective tours on the same weekend. In both instances True Temper shafts were in the bag. Dynamic Gold steel shafts with SensiCore led the charge as both winners used the #1 iron shaft in golf to help them find the winners circle. The #1 graphite wood shaft on the PGA tour, EI-70, was also in the bag of this week’s PGA champion. Not to be outdone, the company’s Grafalloy ProLite, the #1 UltraLite graphite wood shaft on tour, was the driver shaft of choice for the Senior tour’s first, second and third place finishers.

The victories bring True Temper’s win count to 17 out of the 23 events played so far on the PGA and Senior PGA tours. “The 1999 campaign is proving to be another record year for True Temper,” notes Scott Hennessy, True Temper President and CEO. “We have 26 out of the top 30 PGA money leader’s currently playing True Temper, Grafalloy or True Temper Titanium shafts. In fact, this past weekend True Temper shafts were played by the 1st 2nd and 3rd place finishers on both the PGA and Senior PGA tours.”

True Temper Sports is the leading manufacturer of golf shafts in the world and is consistently the Number One shaft on the PGA tour. The company markets a complete line of shafts under the True Temper, Grafalloy and True Temper Titanium shaft brands, and sells these brands in over thirty countries throughout the world.
