DUNDAS, Ontario -- X-Treme Golf TV Productions Inc. (www.xgolftv.com), the producers of X-Treme Golf broadcast, multi-media and interactive digital properties, announced that Shannon became X-Treme Golf’s first casualty, leaving seven players in this grueling six-episode elimination tournament television series featured on CanWest CH TV nationally prior to Saturday’s coverage of the PGA Tour and on CanWest MEN TV throughout the weekends.

The first of six one-hour X-Treme Golf episodes – appropriately named ‘Mind Games’ – lived up to its title. The Hooters’ sponsored caddies flirted, charmed, harassed, ridiculed, taunted, screamed at and teased the tournament’s golf players at every turn of the Legends on the Niagara Ussher’s Creek golf course, the first world-class course featured on X-Treme Golf. After hacking another shot on the fourth hole, Shannon started pacing across the course cringing her shoulders and pulling at her golf hat stating, ”…this is physically painful now”, as the Hooters girls blew whistles in the background. Once they got into her head Shannon couldn’t get back on track and was eventually eliminated from the X-Treme Golf competition during the final ninety-four foot putt-off skills challenge.

This past weekend’s premier broadcast of X-Treme Golf on CanWest CH TV stations across Canada and MEN TV nationally has struck a chord with viewers, even those who hate anything to do with golf. One viewer wrote a note chastising the executive producers for making players sleep in Old Fort Erie without heat or running water, on wooden boards covered with mattresses players had to stuff with hay themselves.

“Unfortunately for the viewer, what happened to players in Episode # 1 pales in comparison to what’s about to happen to them in Episode # 2 – aptly named ‘Blown Away’. Mother nature becomes even more treacherous than we could have ever imagined when gale force winds hit and temperatures drop below -10 degrees Celsius,” says Alan Aylward, Executive Producer of X-Treme Golf. “As painful as it is to watch what the players endure during the storm, viewers might want to know that the players and crew turned down our offer to stop playing and warm up in the club house with hot food. We are finding that X-Treme Golf is not so much about golf as it is about golfers. How far will people go to play the game they love, and how much punishment will they endure for the love and challenge of the sport?”

As viewers will discover on Episode # 2, airing this weekend on CanWest CH TV and MEN TV, X-Treme Golf is the ultimate test of a golfer’s passion. It takes players over six hours to finish 9 holes and for some of them, they end up spending a night on the high seas on Canadian World War II destroyer the SS Haida. One player even ends up having to be taken away due to extreme motion sickness, with the X-Treme Golf Skills Challenge winner enjoying a cozy with a five star evening at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Hamilton (formerly Ramada) and relishes rubbing it in to other players the very next day. Especially the gastronomic five-course dinner with wine that winner had at Vineland Estates Winery.

X-Treme Golf was shot on six world-class golf courses at several luxurious and adventurous accommodations during unpredictable October weather in southwestern Ontario. During the six episode series one player is eliminated on each show, another rewarded and the rest taken to a very nasty overnight experience. Many players face agonizing evenings without running water or showers, no heat, unpalatable meals and inhospitable sleeping conditions while others enjoy opulent, five star evenings in luxurious accommodations. Each vying for the ultimate prize – to be the first ever X-Treme Golf tournament champion.

The six, one-hour episodes of X-Treme Golf air nationally on CanWest CH TV stations leading into PGA Tour coverage on Saturdays through to the season finale prior to the 2007 Masters Tournament coverage April 7, 2007 – and three times each weekend on CanWest MEN TV from March 3 through April 7, 2007 – please check local listings for show times in your area or on our web site at www.xgolftv.com. Additionally, the X-Treme Golf series features a TV, online web and mobile interactive trivia challenge where audience members who follow each show in the series can enter into weekly X-Treme Golf contests for a chance to win prizes from our sponsors. A grand prize for an X-Treme Golf Tour for a foursome, including golf course fees and accommodations, will be awarded to one lucky viewer at the end of the series.
