Parmasters Media Release

Parmasters offers golfing franchise opportunities in Ontario, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec

Attention: Business/Financial Editor, City Editor, Lifestyle Editor, News Editor, Sports EditorTORONTO, ONTARIO, MEDIA RELEASE--(CCNMatthews - May 24, 2007) - Over the next 10 years in the US, aging Baby Boomers alone will drive a 12 per cent increase in the 20 billion dollar golf industry. In response to this trend, Parmasters offers a franchising opportunity that mixes business with pleasure.

Tom Matzen, an international speaker and author, and founder of Entrepreneur Coach Inc., together with Scott Hazledine, a Class A PGA member, recognized the growth in golf and formed Parmasters in 1999.

According to the National Golf Foundation, an average of 2 million new golfers enter the sport each year but as many golfers drop off. The three actions required to reverse this trend are: facilitate finding playing partners; promote couples/family golf; teach, teach, teach. Parmasters Golf Training Centers address each of these concerns and more.

Typically, a Parmasters Golf Training Center is 12,000 to 15,000 square-feet, offering a climate-controlled, indoor golfers haven and an affordable alternative to traditional teaching methods that guarantees a 25 per cent reduction in handicap.

Certified golf coaches develop each part of the swing from impact backwards, teaching the fundamentals using Accelerated Learning Techniques, and the proven sports technology Straight-Line Golf.

"In the fluency bays, the ball gets automatically teed out of the floor, so when you are taking Straight-Line Golf lessons you are not bending over to tee the ball up allowing you to focus on your grip and swing tempo" says André Ferris, of Parmasters Canada.

Eighty-eight franchises have been awarded. The first location, a 25,000 sq. ft. center in Memphis Tennessee opened in June 2006, and the first international center in Guangzhou, China in April, 2007. The opening of 12 additional golf training centers and 20 Links Golf Cafes are planned by April, 2008.

In Canada, 27 franchises have been awarded, with further opportunities in Ontario, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Quebec.
