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."
