 Making history as the champion
of the 101st U.S. Open, Retief Goosen putted his way to
victory using his new C-Groove putter. Having recently
acquired a ProGear
Model II Face-Balanced Blade, Goosen one-putted 8 out of
the first 10 holes in the tournament playoff, leading to his
groundbreaking victory. Having placed fifth in the English
Open the week prior, and taking first in the U.S. Open,
Goosen’s game, and putting prowess has shown remarkable
improvement, stepping up his rankings to the top of the
charts.
In a post-U.S. Open interview conducted
in the USGA press room, Goosen commented on his putting
success…
“It hasn't quite sunk in yet what
has happened out there this week. I wasn't playing well at all
this year, actually. I started hitting the ball a lot better a
few weeks ago and the putter just wasn't working. And this
week, putting a new putter in the bag last week, it just
helped. I mean I made everything I looked at,” said
Goosen.
 At the June 3 British Masters,
Goosen met up with European instructor Harold Swash and his
assistant Paul Hurrion on the practice green. Swash is the
inventor of C-Groove technology and Hurrion, who holds a PHD
in biomechanics, assists in the analysis of the high-speed
video that is used in C-Groove comparison tests. Read

Goosen worked with Swash and Hurrion
and decided to use the C-Groove putter at the next European
Tour event, the June 7-10 English Open. The results were
almost immediate with Goosen placing 5th in the tournament,
leading up to his victory at the U.S. Open.
Previously known as ProGear, Yes! Golf
and its innovative line of C-Groove Putters are setting a new
industry standard and changing the face of the game with the
innovative technology built into each model. C-Groove
technology is the invention of Harold Swash, “Europe’s Putting
Doctor” who blends art, science and technology and has been
responsible for many advances in the field of club design.
Yes! Golf also sells a variety of putting training aids
developed by Harold Swash. Read

C-Groove Putters feature concentric
grooves precision-machined into the metal face to exacting
specifications. The grooves create an immediate and pure
forward roll of the ball, and minimize the 'skidding' that can
cause the golf ball to veer off-course. The grooves minimize
side turning resulting from an open or closed putter face on
contact, and eliminate the effects of moisture (rain or dew).
 “This victory brings the
C-Groove Putter to the forefront of golf technology,” said
Francis Ricci, president of Yes! Golf. “We are gaining a
tremendous amount of recognition in the golfing community. In
fact, since last fall, we’ve received orders from Vijay Singh,
Darren Clarke, Miguel Angel Jimenez, Gary Orr, Padraig
Harrington, Dennis Paulson, Chris Perry, Mathias Gronberg,
Andrew Coltart, Mike Weir and Paul McGinley, as well as from
LPGA Tour Players Maggie Will, Alicia Dibos, Karen Weiss and
Luciana Bemvenuti.”
Recently, C-Groove Putters were
evaluated by PGA
Tour Partners, an organization of 500,000+ golfers. The
putters earned an unprecedented 100% favorable review in the
putter category with a buy rating and the member-tested “Seal
of Approval” as noted in the March/April 2001 magazine. PGA
Tour Partners regularly sends new golf products and equipment
to groups of members for unbiased review and testing.
C-Groove Putters also recently received
the highest ranking in the “Best of the Best” category by Rankmark,
America’s premier golf testing company. |
