For immediate release May 18, 2015
DUBLIN, Ohio--An Ohio golf innovation will debut at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin during the 40th Memorial Tournament June 1-7. TheSPRYTE Golf Laser Rangefinder Reflective System was created by golfer Steve Phillips of Marion, Ohio.
TheSPRYTE will be set up on the driving range at the Memorial, after being in use at numerous golf courses around Ohio and elsewhere in the country.
The flagstick reflectors, mounted on flags at holes and hazards, use laser range finders to precisely determine the distance from the golfer. The device is an improvement over other range finders because of its patented design that allows more precise measurement.
Phillips, vice president of North American Golf Products, said, “I’m delighted that more golfers and golf course professionals will be introduced to this tool to help players determine distances more accurately.”
He noted TheSPRYTE is “permitted under the Rules of Golf” by the USGA in its 2013 Decision 262. “Our system is clearly superior to others on the market, and we believe golfers will benefit from using TheSPRYTE.”
As a life-long Ohio native, the inventor said he takes special pride in coming to Muirfield. “This is the premier golf course in Ohio, created by a legendary Buckeye golfer. The course that Jack Nicklaus built has attracted the best golfers in the world, and it is a real honor for me to be here for the 40th Memorial. In the past, coming to Dublin as a spectator was always a thrill. This year, being connected with the course will have even more personal meaning.”
TheSPRYTE is already getting critical praise from golfers, course pros, and groundskeepers wherever it is used. Among the courses now offering TheSPRYTE are:
Muirfield Village Golf Club Driving Range, all 12 Country Clubs at The Villages in Florida (306 holes), The Ohio State University Golf Club (Scarlet and Gray), Marion Country Club, and over 3,000 holes worldwide.
The golf product executive noted TheSPRYTE System offers several advantages. First, the topper is easier to see because of its flagstick height and size.
“The toppers are above the flag at the highest point of visibility,” Phillips said. “The size of the target is the largest permitted under the USGA ‘Rules of Golf.’ TheSPRYTE is 1.8 inches in diameter while competitors’ models are only about .75 inches in diameter.
“That makes the target nearly 250% larger, and that is a tremendous advantage for golfers,” added Phillips.
He pointed out that installation of TheSPRYTE flagstick laser reflective target (L R T) is very simple. “You just replace the acorn nut and screws above the flag at the highest point of visibility. Other systems requires installers to remove the acorn nut, remove a flange, remove a swivel, remove the flag, and finally slide the reflector below the lower point of the flag on the stick.”
TheSPRYTE Golf Laser Rangefinder Reflective System includes TheSPRYTE laser reflective target (L R T) for flagsticks, TheSPRYTE Hazard Sticks, TheSPRYTE Driving Range Proximity Markers, and TheSPRYTE Driving Range Reflective Sleeves.

TheSPRYTE helps golfers “get it right” with precision hazard measuring system
ORLANDO, Florida--North American Golf Products, Inc. is introducing TheSPRYTE Laser Reflective Range System in the New Products Zone at the PGA Merchandise Show. Using larger, 360-degree reflective targets at hazards and holes, TheSPRYTE allows golfers to determine precisely how far their shot must be.
TheSPRYTE Reflective Laser Return is approximately 300% larger than competitive crystals, allowing golfers a far better chance of choosing the right club to use.
Company Vice President Steve Phillips of Marion, Ohio, created TheSPRYTE after a round of golf at Pinecrest Golf Club near Hilton Head Island, in Bluffton, South Carolina. A golfer for 30 years, he was frustrated by the inability to accurately judge hazards on a course.
Phillips explained, “On my first shot I couldn’t judge the distance of a pond hazard. I had a laser ranger finder, but wasn’t able to use it because the target was too small. I couldn’t tell if the distance was 150 or 180 yards. That’s a big difference. Now, you know exactly how far away you are, and what club to play.”
Phillips manufactured a target stick that was larger and easier to view from any angle.
TheSPRYTE system has several configurations for maximum flexibility at golf courses. There is a SPRYTE that has a removable screw for placement on top of the marker stick. There is also a permanent reflector that can be placed below the flag sleeve.
Phillips noted TheSPRYTE Laser Reflective Hazard Markers are easily movable for course maintenance crews and are quickly removable for Ruled Tournament Play.
Course Kits available in 2', 4' and 6' heights as well as a Driving Range Flag Sleeve.
TheSPRYTE Flag Stick Laser Reflector conforms to USGA rule and regulation standards.
For details and photographs of TheSPRYTE Golf System, visit www.TheSPRYTE.com.
TheSPRYTE is being demonstrated at Booth #2127 at the 60th Anniversary PGA Merchandise Show January 24-26 in Orlando, Florida.
