Evolve Golf Epoch Golf Tees – White $6.95 Evolve Golf Epoch Golf Tees Evolve Golfs innovative Epoch golf tees are sweeping the PGA, LPGA, Champions, and Nationwide tours as the world’s best golfers experience increased distance and accuracy over traditional wooden tees. The new Evolve Golf Epoch Tees come in different packages: * 40 – 3.25″ tees, 10 – 1.50″ tees * 40 – 2.75″ tees, 10 – 1.50″ tees * 10 – 3.25″ tees, 5 – 1.50″ tees * 10 – 2.75″ tees, 5 – 1.50″ tees * 15 – 1.50″ tees Details: * Used by more than 300 Tour Professionals * 22 Tour victories & over 300 Top 10′s * 93% less surface contact than wooden tees * Biodegradable * Conforms to USGA & R&A Rules Epoch Golf Tee Two years of research and development, utilizing the latest advances in biotechnology material science and aerodynamic surface geometry, has produced a tee that reduces backspin and sidespin deflection while adhering to the traditional form factor of the golf tee. The Epochs convex radius posts, which are wider than any golf ball dimple, allow the tee to only interact with the exoskeleton of the golf ball. This reduces surface contact by 93 percent, compared to wood tees, allowing Tour pros to achieve distance and accuracy lost due to the wood tees inferior design. Evolve Golf’s tour-proven Pure Launch Technology enables the golf ball to launch without negative influences. The Epoch has been the tee of choice for professional golfers with 111 top 20 finishes on the PGA Tour including, 56 top 10s, 28 top 5s, and victories at The Bank of America Colonial and U.S. Bank Championship. “After hitting a few drives with a wooden tee and then changing to the epoch, I felt a significant difference. The epoch looks and feels like a traditional tee while in your hand. As soon as the ball leaves the tee you know that this is something special,” said Brett Quigley, PGA Tour Professional “It felt as if the ball came off hotter with less spin. Evolve Golf has introduced a great concept that actually works and does what it is intended to do. I believe for the better player it will provide noticeable benefits,” said Arron Oberholser, PGA Tour Professional. Until now, the Epoch performance golf tee has only been available in prototype form to professional golfers. Evolve Golf’s biocomposite material is 100% biodegradable. The fact that the epoch golf tee combines superior performance with a renewable energy source derived from plants; and reduces maintenance costs for golf facilities, represents significant steps forward on several fronts. Just as the introduction of the metalwood driver 25 years ago marked the impending extinction of the persimmon wood from the PGA Tour, the introduction of the epoch is sure to represent such a quantum leap forward in tee design and performance. It likely marks the beginning of the end for wood tees on the PGA Tour in the years to come. With the growing popularity of |

Palm Desert Golf Cart Parade by Mitchell Sussman
One of the most colorful and nostalgic events in the Coachella valley is the world – famous Palm Desert Golf Cart Parade. Originating in the early 60′s, it was started by several individuals here in the desert who just wanted have some fun in the summer months. It eventually was changed to the early fall to avoid the immense heat that made dressing in costumes baking in the sun unbearable. The parade was not an every year event until 1983.
In the early days, it was a “Christmas in July” for the benefit of local residents who found the summers boring. Now the annual parade has grown with over 10,000 spectators. And the world has become aware of the event too, with information requests from the Philippines, France, Germany, and Japan.
The parade took place around its annual route that moves westbound on the famous El Paseo Drive from San Luis Rey to Ocotillo. There was ample parking for all spectators as all the shops along El Paseo provided parking lots behind them as well as a double-decker parking structure just behind the Gardens on El Paseo.
The Palm Desert Golf Cart Parade is much more than just golf carts driving down the street. It’s much more. It has been described as a mini Rose Bowl Parade with carts decorated in an assortment of colors with tissue paper streaming into the wind instead of roses along with marching bands, colorful clowns and other marching groups like cheerleading squads, dance groups and cycling clubs to name a few who took part in the festivities. And the kids had a part in the event too, with face painting, crafts, and a rock-climbing wall being some of the activities that brought laughs and fun to the young. And it was all free.
The parade is mainly for electric – powered golf carts only and they all had to be decorated to take part. The event jumps off with an early morning pancake breakfast in the Bank of America Parking lot that had a lot of maple syrup to go around. This is followed by entry check in that began just outside the Union Bank on El Paseo and San Luis Rey. Judging of the carts then started along with the custom Golf Cart Show & Expo.
There were some fantastic designs that showed that the nature of a golf cart is much more than just a golf tool to get players from hole to hole. Then after we all enjoyed the vendors and the refreshments booths as well as the children activities, the Awards Ceremony takes place with the winning golf carts earning accolades and trophies in a number of different categories. Then the senior shaded & VIP seating was opened up that led to the Parade stepping off. The reserved seating featured concierge service that provided snacks and drinks throughout the parade event. But more importantly this is where they is no rush to find a seat and get the best spot to view the host of attractions.
The Palm Desert Golf Cart Parade would not be possible without the strong support of such sponsors like the city of Palm Desert, the Auen Foundation, The Desert Sun, local television & radio stations, and the Eisenhower Medical Center. This is an event that Coachella Valley written all over it and is an excellent way to get a feel for the desert and what it has to offer.
