‘Drive’ Takes on New Meaning in Golf With Ultimate Nationwide CD-ROM Golf Course Guide

BLOOMINGDALE, IL -- 11 May 2000 -- If you’re a golfer, you may have to look for a lost golf ball once in a while, but you’ll no longer have to search for a golf course that you want to play -- not when you own Drive!, a new CD-ROM that gives you instant information on more than 15,000 golf courses throughout the continental United States.

Drive!, developed and marketed by Green Grass Software Corp., gives information on course locations, greens fees and amenities, as well as specific directions on how to get to a course you choose. "There simply is nothing like ‘Drive!’ on the market," says Dick Thompson, director of marketing. "We’ve combined data about golf courses from coast to coast with street atlas information to give golfers the easiest possible way to find great golfing."

With Drive!, you can search for courses by name, location, fees, number of holes, public or private and much more. Once you find what your looking for, you can see exactly where a course is located on a road map.

The data base of facts includes the above, plus the time of the year a course is open, a general course description, yardage, club rental, slope and tee time reservation information. Additionally, Drive! allows you to add personal information or statistics about a specific course to the data base for future reference. You can print out any of the information in the data base.

Thompson explains, "There are many uses for Drive!, but, for example, think of its advantages if you’re planning a golf road trip. Let’s say you’re going on a two-week vacation trip through Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan.

"Take a look at the U.S. map on Drive!, and get a general sense of the cities you want to visit. Then, zoom in on those cities for a look at the courses located there. Want an ‘easy’ course? A difficult, long course? A par 3, executive course? They are all there," Thompson adds.

"You can plot out your trip, call for tee times and print out clear, easy-to-read, directional maps and information about each course."

Thompson says potential customers for Drive! include golf enthusiasts, business and vacation travelers, golf tournament directors, travel agents, corporate meeting planners and golf historians.

Drive! is easy to operate and sells for $29.95. The "point and click" computer program is fast, accurate and visually appealing.

Drive! can be ordered by calling (800) 562-4653; by faxing to (630) 893-0455; or by ordering on-line at the Green Grass Software Web site at www.greengrass.com. Green Grass Software is located at 348 Donna Lane, Bloomingdale, IL 60108; (507) 645-5620.
