SNAP FITNESS NAMED "OFFICIAL FITNESS PROVIDER" OF THE EGOLF TARHEEL TOUR

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – February 23, 2009 – The Charlotte, NC-based eGolf Tarheel Tour announced today that Snap Fitness has been named as the tour's "Official Fitness Provider" for the 2009 season.

Snap Fitness is a Minneapolis-based franchisor of fitness centers across the United States and Canada, with 1,700 franchises currently in business. The centers are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and are accessed by members only.

The eGolf Tarheel Tour, entering its eighth season, provides a playing ground for aspiring PGA Tour players and offers the Snap Fitness membership as a benefit to its members.

"We know the value that our players put on fitness as they prepare for our events and we are happy to provide a base for them to achieve those needs," said eGolf Tarheel Tour President David Siegel.

The fitness and golf phenomena was slow to catch on during the game's golden era as Hall of Fame member Gary Player was the only player really pushing the envelope; however, that all changed 12 years ago when another player burst onto the scene.

"Tiger Woods has certainly brought the emphasis on conditioning to the forefront of professional golf and we see more and more players making fitness not only a part of their life, but a part of their daily practice session."

"We at the Tour look forward to our players having the opportunity to build a relationship with the Trained Professionals at Snap Fitness.  Players today need to take advantage of all aspects of health and nutrition to maximize their performance and sometimes that means making sure someone is pointing them in the right direction, which I know the staff at Snap Fitness can do." 

Tour members will have complimentary membership to these Charlotte area Snap Fitness locations as their home club and in turn gain access to the thousands of locations across the country – free of charge.

"As a Charlotte-area Snap Fitness owner, we are pleased and excited to be teaming with the eGolf Tarheel Tour and its participating golfers. The Tour is a great way for golfers to hone their skills and showcase their talents, and Snap Fitness, with our nationwide network of convenient fitness centers, can play an important role in the training and fitness that is essential in turning good golfers into great ones," said Charlotte-area Snap Fitness Owner Gerry Smith.
The 2009 Egolf Tarheel Tour season will begin on March 11-13 in the greater Hilton Head Island, SC area at Oldfield Country Club and Tradition National Golf Club.
