TWO TOURS. TWO SUDDEN DEATH PLAYOFFS. TWO TRUE TEMPER® VICTORIES

Memphis, Tennessee - February 16, 2004 - Two three-man sudden death playoffs took place this weekend on the PGA and Champions Tours. While the competition was fierce to see who would come out on top, the shaft champion was already decided as all six men trusted True Temper shafts in their irons.

What’s more impressive, the Buick Invitational champion reshafted his irons at the beginning of the week from a competitor’s product to True Temper Dynamic Gold® and ended a nine year winless drought that spanned 189 tournaments. True Temper iron shafts continue to dominate the professional tours with over 65 percent usage on the PGA and Champions tours each week. They also win more tournaments each year than all other shafts combined.

The Company markets a complete line of shafts under the True Temper and Grafalloy shaft brands, and sells these brands in over thirty countries throughout the world.
