PRESS RELEASE

TravelGolf.com Chosen
Forbes Best of the Web for 2002

FLAGSTAFF, AZ (September 26, 2002) - TravelGolf.com has gone "Back-2-Back" in Forbes Magazine's "Business-2-Business" guide by taking home its second straight "Best of the Web" award in the highly competitive sports and travel category. The award caps a busy year at TravelGolf.com, one that president Robert Lewis says has put the internet-based publishing company on the map to stay.

"It is an honor to win this award back-to-back, what with so many dot-com's out there competing for advertising dollars and readership," Lewis said. "But to be honest, the research, development and improvements we've made over the past year warrant this recognition."

Since taking home the award in 2001, TravelGolf.com has launched WorldGolf.com, redesigned the majority of its regional publications, increased its newsletter subscriber base to over 200,000, and increased its advertising sales by 45 percent. TravelGolf.com also improved the quality of its editorial content by bolstering its writing staff with a stable up-and-coming golf writers and its instructional content by hiring Top 100 teachers like Dana Rader.

Lewis says the company will happily gun for its third straight Forbes award in 2003, as it aggressively expands into markets in Europe and the Northeastern U.S. TravelGolf.com also recently launched its own online golf packaging arm, Travel Golf West, to provide golfers with a wide variety of golf vacation options to sizzling destinations such as Scottsdale/Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Palm Springs.

The Arizona-based company also diversified its publishing goals over the past year by launching the increasingly popular GolfCourseRealty.com, and plans are underway to acquire top-of-the-line domain names in golf instruction and equipment.

"Our first commitment will always be to travel. But our readers are hard core golfers, and our surveys show that they want a little bit of everything," Lewis said.

Once again, Forbes cited TravelGolf.com's popular "Rave of the Day" and its multitude of insightful golf course reviews and features as the publications' top components.
