GreenFix Ball Mark Tool - Helps golfers fix ball marks the right way

- Not since the introduction of Softspikes more than a dozen years ago has a product impacted the golf world like the GreenFix Ball Mark Elimination tool. "The GreenFix Ball Mark tool is doing for golf exactly what Softspikes has been doing for so many years, and that's improving the game for golfers of all levels," added Bill Ward, a partner with GreenFix Golf and founder of Softspikes, Inc.

GreenFix Golf has developed a revolutionary new ball mark repair tool that protects and preserves putting greens. This simple yet effective product dramatically improves golf greens by providing players and maintenance crews with the correct tool to properly repair ball marks.

According to a recent Golf Course Superintendents Association of America survey, ball marks are the most common complaint at golf clubs nationwide. A recent study by Kansas State University reveals that while most golfers take the time to fix ball marks, they use a traditional ball mark repair tool and unintentionally do it wrong. However, when equipped with the patented GreenFix Wizard - a depth limiting short-pronged ball mark repair tool - golfers use a simple "push" technique to repair divots quickly and property. The patented design of the tool prevents the prongs from damaging the roots of the grass.

To use the tool, simple hold the GreenFix at a 45 degree angle and push the edges of the crater (towards the center) from north, south, east, and west. Then, with your putter head, tap smooth the ball mark. Based on the patented design, the prongs are too short for players to jab, lift, and twist, thus preventing golfers from damaging the root system on the ever-so-fragile greens. "The 'push' technique ultimately protects the roots, and expedites the healing process of the mark," explained Danny Edwards, CEO of the Scottsdale, Ariz. Company and five-time PGA Tour winner.

According to Edwards, the GreenFix Wizard has been so effective that prestigious golf clubs like Medinah Country Club (site of the 2006 PGA Championship), Southern Hills Country Club (site of the 2007 PGA Championship), Bulle Rock Golf Club (site of the 2007 McDonald's LPGA Championship), and more than 100 clubs nationwide have adopted the GreenFix Ball Mark Eliminations System.

"We have tested the GreenFix System extensively at our Tournament Players Club (TPC) courses for several years, and based on the exceptional results, our management team determined it was time to fully commit to this system," said Billy Detlaff, director of golf for the TPC Network. He added that "Our greens have never looked better, and we are now mandating that our members and guests utilize the GreenFix Wizard in place of any standard divot repair tool." To date, 15 TPC courses have adopted GreenFix exclusively.
