Hilburn Wins 2008 IPT Pine Dunes Open

Posted by Basic Golf on August 8th, 2008 · Filed under Basic Golf News, International Players Tour · No Comments

Congratulations to Scott Hilburn for winning the 2008 International Players Tour Pine Dunes Open! Scott finished with a 1 under 71 to take home a check for $1,125!

Scott was wearing a Basic Golf Wasabi green ClassicCool shirt during his round. Here’s what he had to say about it:

“The ozone hole was over Texas last weekend and the temperatures soared to 104+ degrees.  With no wind blowing, lets just say it was hot and humid in the piney woods of East Texas.  This was the first time I had worn my Basic Golf shirt in an International Players Tour Tournament and I was impressed to say the least.  I own most of the major brands of high tech golf shirts, and this shirt performs as well or better than shirts I have spent $100+ on.  Not only did the shirt still look good after a round of golf, it kept me cool on the hottest day I have ever had on the golf course.  Thanks for actually making a product that performs like you say its’ supposed to.”
