ACCRA wins 4th PGA Tour event in 6 weeks!

PGMC (Kingston Ontario) – In one of the most exciting finishes of the 2008 PGA Tour season a 32 year old from Amarillo TX over came numerous adversities to clinch his second PGA Tour victory with a clutch birdie on the 72nd hole of the Ginn sur Mer Classic. This graduate of Texas A&M relied on TaylorMade 3 and 5 woods custom fit with ACCRA AXIV XE 80 shafts to provide him with unparalleled distance and accuracy to navigate around the difficult Conservatory Course in Palm Coast Florida in blustery conditions.

This TaylorMade staffer has led the Tour in Birdies and Par Breakers for most of the year and certainly relied on his strong fairway wood play to bolster this important statistic. Winning his second PGA Tour event vaulted him into 73 spot on the PGA money list and an invitation to a number of golf’s biggest events.

 ACCRA also placed second in the same event when a 39 year old Henderson State graduate also birdied the final hole to solidify his second 2nd place finish of the season. Hitting 86% of the fairways in those conditions was a major key to his success while using a new Cleveland Launcher that he only recently put in play using the same ACCRA AXIV XT 60 that he has used all year. This has been a wonderful year for this Hope Arizona native whom now stands 31st on the PGA money list.

 ACCRA shafts have now been used to win more than $40,000,000 on the 2008 PGA Tour that has included 6 victories and more than 185 top 20 finishes. This combined with 4 victories and more than 60 top 20 finishes on the European Tour has made 2008 a banner year around the world for Touring Professionals trusting their game with ACCRA premium golf shafts.

 “This has been an incredible run for players relying on ACCRA shafts in 2008. 4 wins in six weeks is just not something that you expect” Stated Gawain Robertson (ACCRA Tour Rep. & Partner PGMC) “ACCRA AXIV shafts have been used by many of the top golfers in the world this season, including 4 Ryder Cuppers, 10 PGA & Euro PGA Tour winners, and more than 100 Tour players worldwide, what a year! I believe this certainly solidifies our position as one of the hottest shafts anywhere, if not the hottest!” continued Mr. Robertson.

The original ACCRA remains popular on Tour and with the serious golfer due to it’s extreme torque to tip deflection ratio.

Other companies have also introduced 4 AXIV weaves since then yet the ACCRA AXIV continues to lead on Tour and with the best Professional Club Fitters in the world.
