Premier Testing Company Grants Award of Excellence for Superior Technology Fall-Winter 2000/2001 Testing Period

DENVER, CO (APRIL 11, 2001) - The all-new Yes! Putters with C-Groove Technology, previously known as C-Groove Putters, received the highest ranking in the "Best of the Best" category by Rankmark, America's premier golf testing company. The line of Yes! Putters were honored with the Award of Excellence, receiving the highest rating among all putting competitors.

To complete its "Best of the Best" list, Rankmark conducted independent testing of more than forty manufacturers' clubs with as many as five models from a single manufacturer. The putters are tested at country clubs, driving ranges and PGA and LPGA tour events.

"We have a superior product and we can prove it," said Francis Ricci, president and CEO of Yes! Golf, previously known as C-Groove. "The technological superiority has been proven many times over in tests by an independent testing company, as well as on putting greens with thousands of golfers, including 200 professional tour players worldwide. It's gratifying to have those results validated by Rankmark."

Yes! Putters with C-Groove Technology are the invention of Harold Swash, "Britain's Putting Doctor" who blends art, science and technology to create Yes! Putters. Yes! Putters with C-Groove Technology are available in five models and feature concentric grooves precision-machined into the metal face to exacting specifications.

The grooves create an immediate and pure forward roll of the ball, which gives it a significantly better chance of staying on line to the cup. Also, the grooves minimize side turning resulting from an open or closed putter face on contact, and eliminate the effects of moisture (rain or dew).

Yes! Putters with C-Groove Technology also recently received the PGA Tour Partners member tested "Seal of Approval" as noted in the March/April 2001 issue. The PGA Tour Partners Club, an organization of 500,000+ golfers, regularly sends new golf products and equipment to groups of members for unbiased review and testing.

Yes! Putters earned an unprecedented 100% favorable review in the putter category with a buy rating.

"Our Yes! Putters are gaining a lot of recognition," said Ricci. "In fact, since last fall, we've received orders from Vijay Singh, Darren Clarke, Miguel Angel Jimenez, Gary Orr, Padraig Harrington, Dennis Paulson, Chris Perry, Mathias Gronberg, Andrew Coltart, Mike Weir and Paul McGinley, as well as from LPGA Tour Players Maggie Will, Alicia Dibos, Karen Weiss and Luciana Bemvenuti."

Two new models of Yes! Putters were introduced at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Florida in January 2001, the High Precision Center Shaft and High Precision Insert.

The High Precision Center Shaft is a center shafted style putter made of 17-4 stainless steel with the hosel of the club positioned behind the head. The High Precision Insert is a perimeter-weighted putter, also made of 17-4 stainless steel with a grooved black face made of anodized aluminum. The putters retail for approximately $130.
