LPGA Names Ladies Links Fore Golf 'The Official Online Amateur Golf Community of
the LPGA'

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., March 24, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Ladies Professional
Golf Association has designated Ladies Links Fore Golf "the Official Online
Amateur Golf Community of the LPGA."

As part of the agreement, Ladies Links Fore Golf will post teaching videos to
the LPGA's official Web site (LPGA.com) monthly, and will explore additional
cross-promotional opportunities on its own Web site at LL4G.com.

"A number of the LPGA's top teaching professionals established Ladies Links Fore
Golf in 2005 to further empower women golfers by linking them to new learning
and playing opportunities. Partnering with these women is a natural fit for our
organization, as their vision is manifested in the vision of our extended LPGA
family -- to inspire, empower, educate and entertain," said Libba Galloway,
deputy commissioner of the LPGA. "We now can work more closely to attract more
women to the game of golf, and to highlight the important role of our Teaching &
Club Professionals (T&CP) in communities across the country."

In 2008, Ladies Links Fore Golf launched LL4G.com, the nation's fastest growing
women's amateur online golf community, designed to offer women golfers
instruction, support, and mental and physical strategies to improve their golf
games. In early 2009, the Web site was updated with new interactive features,
including a member "Locker Room," where members can post their profiles and
search for other members in their area, as well as a "Find a Teaching Pro"
section that enables visitors to search for LPGA T&CP.

"We are thrilled to partner with the LPGA," said Lynn Stellman, CEO of Ladies
Links Fore Golf, LLC. "Our affiliation with the LPGA will allow us to more
rapidly grow our programs so that we can bring new learning and playing
opportunities to a broad range of golfers around the world -- from beginners to
advanced amateurs."

Ladies Links Fore Golf will sponsor six "Fun Days," two tournaments and two golf
schools in the first part of 2009. Other events may be added as the year
progresses.

Membership in Ladies Links Fore Golf is available to all amateur players. For
