THOMAS LAUNCHES FRANKLY CONSULTING

Golf Performance Systems and Enhancements Will Be Company's Focus

January 16, 2001, Chester, NJ… After 26 years of distinguished service as the Technical Director for the United States Golf Association, Frank Thomas has launched Frankly Consulting L.L.C., a golf industry consulting firm with a multi faceted mission.

"Golf needs a reliable source of information and technically sound products that will enhance the game but never compromise its integrity," said Thomas, who is credited with developing the equipment testing systems and parameters that are requirements of the industry today.

The three areas of concentration for the innovation driven company will be to improve physical and mental fitness to enhance golf performance, to develop new and exciting product systems and to provide consultation services that will benefit the game of golf.

Having guarded the game for so long, Thomas recognizes the need to protect and maintain order whilst bringing to the fore its very essence.

" We are interested in facts that can help everyone who plays enjoy the inherent challenge that golf presents," Thomas explained.

Frankly Golf, a subsidiary of Frankly Consulting, will develop products in combination with systems that will enhance performance. Thomas says the first product will be a putting system that he anticipates will reach the golf market later this year. Future products will focus on the physical and mental fitness of golfers.
