Toronto, Ontario, Canada: September 22, 2005
Ashton Golf is once again victorious on The Players Tour
Ashton Golf would like to congratulate Jeff Gavin of Mississauga, Canada on
his win at the latest Players Tour stop in Atlanta Georgia. Amongst a
world-class field consisting of over 30 of the top long drive competitors in
the world, he blasted an impressive, 396 yd drive; outdistancing his next
competitor by 10 yards to win the event. His 396 yard drive was also the
longest ball of the tournament.
"It was a very long day for me," says Gavin. "I had to go through 6 rounds
to reach the finals. I actually won on my last ball. I thought to myself,
just relax and put a good swing on it. When I hit it, I knew it was going to
be deep. The ball seemed to go up in the air and hang forever. When they
came back with the 396, I was over the moon. This is my first professional
win and I am really feeling good going into the Re/Max World Finals next
month in Mesquite, Nevada."
Jeff used an Ashton X-1 5.5 degree driver to win the $7,000 U.S. first
prize.
"Quite honestly, when Jeff gave me the call, I thought finally! " says
Ashton Golf President Cliff Barron. "In my opinion Jeff has worked on his
swing, physical conditioning and the mental aspect of his game more then any
competitor I know. He was way over due. It is not often you find a golfer
who can generate over 152mph swing speed and a confirmed ball speed of
219mph on a consistent basis. Now that Jeff has got a win under his belt,
look out. Next month in Mesquite should be very interesting."
An impressive group of the elite long drive competitors around the world
have chosen to play the Ashton X-1 Driver. In 2005 Ashton Golf has won 3 of
the 5 "major" long drive competitions held in the U.S. That is a 60% success
record. Pretty amazing considering over 90% of the field uses the products
of the competitors. The X-1 Driver simply contains the best engineering and
it is slowly being recognized for its performance.
Ashton Golf is a manufacturer of high quality precision golf components.
Their X-BRID hybrid club is the newest addition to their line. Ashton Golf
will have numerous players hitting the X-1 and MS-5 Drivers at the 2005
Re/Max World Long Drive Finals in Mesquite, Nevada in October.
