Press Release Body = WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. - The newest Motion Golf studio will open
July 21, 2007, to offer its revolutionary golf instruction technology to
Westchester's thriving golf community.

Previously only available for use by TaylorMade-sponsored golfers and PGA teaching
pros, the Motion Golf Imaging system is now available to virtually anyone interested
in improving their game.

The system creates a three-dimensional, real-time video using a combination of
high-speed cameras and special gear for the student to use. A golfer can take any
type of swing - from driving to putting - and view it from every angle.

Because the technology was developed through research with the TaylorMade Golf
Company, images recorded by its sponsored professionals - including Darren Clarke
and Sergio Garcia - can be used for side-by-side comparisons with a student's swing.


The same imaging technology was used to make such movies as King Kong and the Lord
of the Rings trilogy, with the latter garnering an Academy Award for the visual
effects team. The system was initially used for outfitting clubs, but has the
potential to lower handicaps for golfers of all levels.

"This technology is phenomenal and is going to produce a lot of great golfers," says
Kensey Snider, director of the White Plains location. "It\'s a good feeling to know
you are making a permanent improvement to someone's game."

Snider himself has been a teaching professional for over 12 years, and is the host
of a series of instructional videos entitled "Golf Course Etiquette: Manners for On
& Off the Green." Previously, he was the director of instruction at Hawk Pointe
Country Club in western New Jersey.

Motion Golf co-founder Joe Luciano is excited to have Snider leading his White
Plains team. "With such an energetic and positive approach to learning, he makes the
perfect ambassador for the Motion Golf technology," Luciano says. "Kensey's own
passion to constantly improve upon his own game, plus his thorough understanding of
this advanced technology, makes him a great instructor for everyone from beginners
to tour players."

The White Plains studio is located at 188 E. Post Road in White Plains. It is the
second location for a soon-to-be-national name in golf instruction, with a
successful branch operating in Fairfield, N.J., another location opening in Syosset,
N.Y., later this month, and plans for expansion to Palm Beach, Fla., as well.
