FlightScope selected by Mammoth Golf

Bethlehem, Pa. (March 17, 2005) - FlightScope by EDH Sport, a premier
ball-flight monitor, has been selected by Mammoth Golf for use in its
facilities. Mammoth Golf, based in Maryland, has announced the Grand
Opening of its Titonium Superstore March 19. Additonal locations are in
Columbia, Md., and at Hobbits Glen CC, also in Columbia.

"FlightScope has all the options that we want," said Chuck Freedman, a
Mammoth Golf manager, "and its technology is far advanced. It's twofold:
we can teach with it if we want to, and it gives us all the data we are
looking for when fitting golf clubs. And we can use FlightScope indoors
and outdoors."

FlightScope is in use at high-profile teaching academies and club-fitting
venues around the world. Introduced at last year's PGA Merchandise Show
in Orlando, Fla., the portable indoor-outdoor ball-flight monitor employs
a Phase Array Tracking Sensor and proprietary technology to record
accurately the ball in flight and to provide actual launch data. The
characteristic distinguishing FlightScope from existing launch monitor
technology is that FlightScope is the only product in the world that can
record the ball flight accurately in the precise environment in which the
ball travels, thereby providing actual rather than implied data. The
resultant ability of golfers, club fitters and instructors to see the
actual ball trajectory at various angles allows them to make precise
adjustments for enhanced performance.

"First-class facilities in the golf industry use first-class technology
to help their businesses and their clients perform," said Marc Solda,
president of EDH Sport. "EDH Sport has worked hard to help spread that
message throughout the industy, and we now are seeing the results.
FlightScope's benefits for club fitters, teaching academies, green grass
facilities, ranges and retailers now are widely recognized."

Awareness of the advanced technology of FlightScope by EDH Sport has
increased vastly this past year. FlightScope provided its technology to
Golf Digest for use during some of the magazine's equipment testing
sessions for its second annual "Hot List" published in its February 2005
edition. FlightScope is in use at Golf Stix, Ltd., a leading club-fitting
operation based in San Antonio. Golf Stix has incorporated FlightScope
both into its club-fitting shop and into its mobile fitting center. Also,
FlightScope technology was installed last year at the PGA of America
Learning Center in Port St. Lucie, Fla., and was featured during Play
Golf America Day, Dec. 8, and during the PGA Teaching & Coaching Summit,
Dec. 9-12.

EDH, founded in 1989 by Henri Johnson, an inventor and electronic
engineer, is a product-development company based in Stellenbosch, near
Cape Town in South Africa, with its U.S. office in Bethlehem, Pa. EDH,
which develops products for the military and sports markets, has as its
core expertise the design and development of 3D tracking radar systems.
In 2003 the EDH Golf system was launched under the name "FlightScope."
