Me Tiger, You Annika: New Play-Anywhere Golf Game Makes Fantasies Come to Life

LOS GATOS, Calif., Oct 7, 2003 -- Introducing "Golo," the hottest gift idea this year for every golfer on your list. Fast, fun and addictive, Golo is a play-anywhere golf dice game that, for the first time ever, re-creates the competition of PGA Tour golf, while offering the speed and thrill of a Vegas dice game.

Invented by Patrick Shea, a PGA teaching professional, who needed a way to explain the basics of golf to his new students, Golo has become the world's fastest-selling non-electronic golf game. Says Patrick: "Seasoned golfers love Golo because it re-creates the excitement of tournament golf. Gamers, kids, and golf students love it because it's easy to learn, and impossible to put down."

The Golo craze is happening everywhere, at clubhouses, family rooms, bars, break rooms... even aboard the U.S.S. Iwo Jima, where Golo tournaments have become a new tradition. Adds Patrick, "Golo has developed a cult-like following among seasoned golfers and, most surprisingly, among Gen-Y gamers who may never have played a round of real golf. It levels the playing field and makes golf fun for everyone. With Golo, even hackers have the chance to beat Tiger and Annika."

Ask for Golo ($19.99 suggested retail price) at your favorite golf or game retailer or shop online at http://www.igolo.com.
