GLOUCESTER, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 24, 2002

Three MGI motorcaddie models now available, including

the remote-controlled Navigator - the world's most

durable, maneuverable and easy-to-use motorcaddie

Motorized Golf International (MGI) USA today announced the launch of the Company as the exclusive US distributor of motorcaddie products from Australian-based Motorized Golf International. MGI brings to the US market a reliable, simple-to-use and full-featured line of motorcaddies. MGI motorcaddies allow golfers to walk the golf course without the burden and strain of carrying golf bags or pulling and pushing manual golf carts.

For golf courses and retailers of golf products, MGI delivers:

-- The fully remote-controlled Navigator ($1,599, suggested retail) is a durable, maneuverable and easy-to-use motorcaddie. According to MGI, the Navigator includes an unparalleled remote electronic system and powerful twin motors that drive rear wheels independently for tight turning and strong stability. Its on-board compass keeps the caddie on a straight path despite uneven terrain.

-- The self-propelled SuperLite(TM) ($999) with Cruise Control, features electronic self-sensing controls that maintain a constant speed on any terrain - up hill or down. The SuperLite weighs only 17 pounds and is the lightest motorcaddie on the market.

-- The self-propelled Laser(TM) ($849) offers exceptional durability and reliability, and folds easily for storage, like all MGI caddies.

In conjunction with the launch, MGI is also announcing its website (www.motorizedgolf.com), that educates golfers and dealers about the merits of motorcaddies and provides a portal to build both a golfing community and a loyal retailer/dealer network.

"MGI's Navigator has allowed me to enjoy the walking game of golf again," said former Red Sox pitching great Luis Tiant. "I finally found a product that allows me to walk the course without any hassles."

The United State Golfers Association (USGA) promotes golf as a walking game, a position that MGI endorses and emphasizes in its US marketing efforts. MGI motorcaddies, including the remote-controlled Navigator(TM) model, allow walking golfers to stay limber and focus more on their game, not on transportation of their clubs over a course's long distances. MGI delivers a line of reliable and navigable motorcaddies "that let golfers take advantage of the health benefits of walking golf," says MGI President and CEO, and 10 year motorcaddie veteran, Bill Bouzan.

Contrary to general perceptions, walking with motorcaddies actually speeds play compared with riding motor carts. "A foursome will find that they save an hour playing 18," Bouzan explains, "since each player walks directly to his or her next shot." Many users of MGI motorcaddies maintain that motorcaddies actually help their game. "By staying loose from walking and avoiding the added and awkward strain of carrying a bag or pulling a cart, I believe I have trimmed a couple of strokes off my scores," says Dr. Don Martin of Raleigh, NC.

MGI's product line includes three models:

-- The fully remote-controlled Navigator ($1,599, suggested retail) is a durable, maneuverable and easy-to-use motorcaddie. According to MGI, the Navigator includes an unparalleled remote electronic system and powerful twin motors that drive rear wheels independently for tight turning and strong stability. Its on-board compass keeps the caddie on a straight path despite uneven terrain.

-- The self-propelled SuperLite(TM) ($999) with Cruise Control, features electronic self-sensing controls that maintain a constant speed on any terrain - up hill or down. The SuperLite weighs only 17 pounds and is the lightest motorcaddie on the market.

-- The self-propelled Laser(TM) ($849) offers exceptional durability and reliability, and folds easily for storage, like all MGI caddies.

"MGI caddies take the back-aches out of golf," says Bouzan. "Golf, quite simply, is supposed to be a walking game, but courses have become longer, bags have become heavier and terrain rougher. Motorcaddies are the answer for walkers, and MGI motorcaddies are superior to anything on the market in terms of technology, durability and in its warranty."

MGI motorcaddies are available through an extensive and growing list of golf pro shops and golf retailers nationwide. As courses and retailers attempt to find new revenue sources, MGI motorcaddies allow retailers and courses to target the growing number of golfers interested in walking the course, providing both retail sales and rentals.

To address the retail marketplace, MGI has developed a dealer-focused business plan, passing all leads and sales from MGI's website directly to the retailer closest to the consumer. MGI also offers 24-hour delivery and advanced warranty of product and parts.

"We have chosen to sacrifice strong margins on our best-of-breed motorcaddies in order to avoid conflicts with our dealer community," Bouzan explains. "By refusing to sell direct, we are building a widespread and loyal dealer base and giving retailers strong profit margins, as well as driving consumers to their specific stores."

"Walkers are a growing market for us, and making money from walking golf has to be a priority," said Ned Waters, owner of Golf and Ski Warehouse, a leading golf retailer in New England. "MGI's products offer proven reliability, and MGI's business plan and marketing efforts benefit retailers through active promotions, strong product margins and the knowledge that they will not use their website to compete with us for sales."
