Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

(a)  Previous independent accountants

     1.   On July 19, 2000, The Great American Golf Works, Inc. ("Great
          American") dismissed S.W. Hatfield ("Hatfield") as its independent
          accountants.

     2.   Each of the reports of Hatfield on Great American's consolidated
          financial statements for the two fiscal years ended December 31,
          1999 contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was
          qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting
          principles. The disclaimer was as follows: "The accompanying
          financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
          will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note A to the
          financial statements, the Company is dependent upon its majority
          shareholder to maintain the corporate status of the Company and to
          provide all nominal working capital support on the Company behalf.
          Because of the Company's lack of operating assets, its continuance
          is fully dependent upon the majority

                                                                             2

          shareholder's continuing support. This situation raises a
          substantial doubt about the Company's ability to as a going concern.
          The majority shareholder intends to continue the funding of nominal
          necessary expenses to sustain the corporate entity. The financial
          statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
          outcome of this uncertainty."

     3.   Great American's Board of Directors approved the change.

     4.   In connection with its audits for the two most recent fiscal years,
          there have been no disagreements with Hatfield on any matter of
          accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure,
          or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved
          to the satisfaction of Hatfield, would have caused Hatfield to make
          reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection
          with its report on the financial statements for those years.

     5.   Great American has requested that Hatfield furnish a letter
          addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether
          it agrees with the above statements. This letter is filed as an
          exhibit to this amendment to Current Report on Form 8-K.

(b)  New independent accountants

     1.   Great American engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PWC") as its new
          independent accountants as of July 19, 2000.

     2.   During the two most recent fiscal years, Great American has not
          consulted PWC regarding either (i) the application of accounting
          principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed;
          or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Great
          American's financial statements, and in no case was a written report
          provided to Great American nor was oral advice provided that PWC
          concluded was an important factor considered by Great American in
          reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial
          reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a
          disagreement or event identified in response to Item 304(a)(1)(iv)
          of Regulation S-B.
