Oklahoma City, Ok - 3 February, 2003 -

Golf USA, Inc. today announced that the company has been named the Number One Golf Franchise in America by Entrepreneur magazine. The honor was part of Entrepreneur magazine's 24th Annual Franchise 500, which ranks the top 500 franchises in America, according to Mike Henderson, Golf USA Chairman/CEO. "This honor is a tribute to the hard work of everyone in our corporate office, as well as all our franchisees," Henderson said. "Our goal now is to maintain our position as America's Number One off-course discount golf franchise, while still offering individuals who love golf an affordable opportunity to own their own golf business," he added. The Entrepreneur rankings are based on financial strength and stability, growth rate and size of the system, according to Henderson. Among other things considered are the number of years in business, length of time franchising and start-up costs. Every company with verifiable data receives a cumulative score. The franchises with the highest scores become the Franchise 500. Golf USA has previously been ranked as Entrepreneur's Number One golf franchise three times, Henderson noted. Golf USA is an Oklahoma City based operator and franchisor of retail, off-course discount golf stores offering golf equipment, apparel, and accessories. The company has 100 locations worldwide.
