Martin Golf Course to Sell in Oct. 23 Auction

PORTAGE, WI, Oct 05 (MARKET WIRE) --
Martin Golf Course, a 3,000-foot nine-hole golf course in Portage, will
sell at auction Friday, Oct. 23, with Albert Burney Auction Company
managing the sale.

The course has been operated as a private facility but has received
approval to operate as a public course.

"This is a really pretty course, with Bentgrass greens and tree-lined
fairways of Kentucky Bluegrass and Wisconsin Fescue. It has a gated
entrance and is fully irrigated," said Warren Ward, president of Albert
Burney. "It's no pitch-and-putt. This is a Par 34 course with some very
challenging holes," he said.

The course is located less than an hour from the Wisconsin Dells, which
draws thousands of people to the area each year.

"The seller owns adjacent land that is not included in the auction, and he
has indicated a willingness to negotiate the sale of additional land if
the buyer of the course wishes to expand it to 18 holes," said Ward.

The auction will begin at 11 a.m. at the course, with registration
beginning at 9:30 a.m. Albert Burney representatives will be on site daily
beginning Oct. 17 until the auction date from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The course
will sell subject to a published minimum bid of $250,000.
