BURLINGTON, VT - Aug. 19, 2003 (Send2Press Newswire) -- Greenwood Golf, Inc. announced today the new Greenwood Classic, a premium quality putter designed specifically for the golfer who wants to feel at one with the stroke -- as if the winning shot flows seamlessly from eye-to-brain-to-hand. Its main features are an all-wood head, shaft and grip. The natural warmth of maple, cherry and walnut feels just right in the hands, giving the golfer the optimal control and dexterity he or she needs to finesse the finish of each putt.

Each Greenwood Classic shaft is a lamination of blonde curly Vermont maple with either Southern walnut or warm Vermont cherry wood, triple-coated for protection from moisture and harmful UV. Each layer is buffed between applications for a smooth satin finish that keeps the wood watertight and blemish-free. The grip is a combination of curly maple and dark walnut or cherry. A Greenwood jeweler fabricates the sterling silver base plate, shaft collar, grip collar, and grip cap. An engraver adds the "Classic" logo. Included are a hand sewn, sheepskin pouch to protect the head, and a leather case for protection in the golf bag, plus a special polishing cloth for wiping the surfaces after use.

The standard Greenwood Classic putter length is 34 inches from the bottom of the putter sole to the top of the grip, but it can be fully customized. The shaft length can be specified (up to 36 inches), and clients can choose from a variety of exotic woods and precious metals. Left-handed versions are available. The putter conforms to USGA Rules and several patents are pending to protect the unique design features.

The putter is made in a limited edition with serial number, and is available only through registered PGA professionals and select catalogues. The Greenwood Classic retails $1200.00 - $1400.00, and requires 6-8 weeks for delivery. Customers can call 802-860-1173 for information and ordering.

"At Greenwood, we re not about mass-producing putters," says Jim Chiasson, company founder. "In our workshop in Stowe, Vermont, our own skilled team of designers, woodworkers, silversmiths and leather craftsmen makes each putter to order, using premium materials."

Greenwood Golf can accommodate special orders, provide club refinishing, and custom-designed presentation boxes.
