Martin Kaymer’s Improbable PGA Championship Win Stymies GolfEtail Facebook Contest; Randomly Chosen Winner Still Gets Taylor-Made Burner Driver

Springfield, MA, September 2, 2010 -- GolfEtail, http://www.golfetail.com, offering great buys on quality brands of golf clubs, accessories and clothing thought someone would easily pick the winner of the just-completed PGA Championship, since most of the competitors are household names to golfers.

“Imagine our surprise,” said Marc Ducey, GolfEtail President, “when Martin Kaymer blew away some of the most famous golfers playing today! We were delighted that our Pick the winner of the PGA championship and win a free TaylorMade Burner Driver from GolfEtail!” contest generated more than two thousand entries in only a few days, but now we had to pick a winner at random.”

“Matt Mooney’s name came up the winner of the TaylorMade Burner Driver,” Mr. Ducey added. “But since everyone but Martin Kaymer was stymied on the winner of the tournament, we offered a 10% discount on drivers to everyone who entered. This way, we all won and our customers got great deals on clubs.”
