NOTE A.  BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business
Brassie Golf Corporation (the "Company"), together with its predecessors and
subsidiaries, has engaged since 1988 in the design, acquisition, development
and management of private, semi-private and daily-fee (i.e. "public") golf
courses.

Investment in Subsidiaries - The Company holds majority interest in the golf
courses at Curtis Park (100%) and St. James (80%) which are included in the
Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company also holds
30% investments in two golf courses, Laurel Valley and Myrtle West, which are
accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

On September 26, 1997 the Company entered into a Letter of Intent with Homer E.
Wright, Jr. Inc. to sell the golf course currently known as The Gauntlet at St.
James. Terms of the agreement include a cash payment of $2,875,000 plus an
adjustment to the purchase price equal to the surplus or shortfall between
certain net assets. The Company is negotiating a definitive purchase agreement
and expects to close this transaction in the fourth quarter of 1997. The
Company expects to retain approximately $100,000 in cash after retiring the
first and second mortgages on the property.

On August 1, 1997, the Company sold Hale Irwin Golf Services ("HIGSI"),
previously acquired in May 1994 and operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary, to

contracts procurred by the Company.  Mr. Irwin's employment contract with the
Company had expired in May 1997.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the
Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form
10-QSB and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 1997. The accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the
Company's audited financial statements as of December 31, 1996 contained in its
current Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

Revenue Recognition - Revenues of the Company include daily golf fees, proshop
merchandise sales and food and beverage sales. Golf fees include revenue
generated from green fees, cart fees and range fees. Revenues also include
sales of memberships and annual dues charged to members.

Golf fees, proshop merchandise sales and food and beverage sales are recognized
when received. Membership dues collected in advance are deferred as "unearned
income" and recognized over the period of prepayment. Membership fees that are
nonrefundable are recognized by the Company when received.

Goodwill - The Company has classified as goodwill the cost in excess of the
fair value of the net assets,

NOTE A. BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

including tax attributes of Summit (and its subsidiary, Club Operations and
Property Management, Inc. ("COPM")), which was acquired through a purchase
transaction in June 1995. Prior to the sale of COPM in July 1997, at which time
the remaining goodwill was removed from the books, goodwill was being amortized
on a straight-line basis over 20 years.

Ammortization charged to continuing operations amounted to $1,392 for the
three-month period ended September 30, 1997, and $65,600 for the three-month
period ended September 30, 1996.

         The Company carries its goodwill asset at its purchase price, less
amortized amounts, but subject to annual review for impairment. The Company's
policy for the valuation of goodwill is to calculate the undiscounted projected
future cash flows of Summit expected to be generated over the life of the
goodwill. This amount is then compared to the carrying value of the goodwill to
determine if the asset is impaired.

         Income Taxes - The Company records income taxes pursuant to the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109"). Under SFAS No. 109, deferred taxes are
provided for the difference between the tax and financial statement bases of
assets and liabilities, and a valuation allowance is established for deferred
tax assets that, based upon available evidence, are not expected to be
realized.

         Net Loss Per Share - Net loss per share has been computed based on the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period presented. Stock
options and warrants are considered anti-dilutive and have not been considered
in the computations.

         In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be adopted on
December 31, 1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change the
method currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior
periods. Under the new requirements for calculating primary earnings per share,
the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded. The impact of Statement
128 on the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share for
these quarters is not expected to be material.

         Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the
prior periods' financial statements to conform to the classifications used in
1997. These reclassifications had no effect on net loss or shareholders' equity
as previously reported.

filed by Pyramid Investments ("Pyramid"), a holder of the Company's convertible
debentures, for failure to convert a conversion request issued on July 25, 1997
which the Company was in dispute over receipt thereof. The Company filed a
countersuit in August vigorously opposing the litigation initiated by Pyramid.
Since that date the Company negotiated a favorable settlement with Pyramid to
retire the entire debenture at a discount. In order to protect the Company's
position in this litigation, negotiation and execution of the pending
settlement, the Company has not and will not disclose the confidential terms of
the litigation and settlement until such time that the Company would not be
negatively impacted. The Company expects the transaction to close in the fourth

more favorable terms. Terms of the loan include an 8.37 % fixed interest rate
(2.50% over the 10 year treasury bill rate) amortized over 20 years, with
principal and interest payments of $ 28,195 due monthly. The proceeds of 
$444,000 net of fees will allow the Company to upgrade the maintenance of the
golf course and provide additional working capital.

Item 2.  Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations

    The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for the
three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 and for the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, included in the Company's 1996 Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB.

     Brassie Golf Corporation (the "Company") together with its predecessors
and subsidiaries, has engaged since 1988 in the design, acquisition,
development and management of private, semi-private and daily-fee (i.e.,
"public") golf courses. The Company's portfolio at September 30, 1997
consists of 4 owned, leased and managed golf courses: a majority owned
golf course in North Carolina, two minority investments in golf courses in
South Carolina; a 100% owned subsidiary that leases a golf course in Virginia.

     The following table indicates the number of full months each owned
or partially owned course was operating during the respective periods:

</TABLE>

As a result of the change in the Company's percentage of ownership interests
at the Laurel Valley and Myrtle West golf courses effective February 29, 1996,
the financial results for the three months and nine months ending September 30,
1996 were restated to report those investments under the equity method of
accounting. Curtis Park and St. James continue to be included in the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements as subsidiaries of the Company. See
Item 1.c. of the Consolidated Financial Statements as reported in the
Company's December 31, 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and incorporated
herein by reference for a description of the Company's ownership interests
in each of the aforementioned golf courses.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations (continued)

    In the aggregate, the Company generated $1,074,885 in revenues during
the quarter ended September 30, 1997 compared to $1,523,656 during the quarter
ended September 30, 1996.  This decrease of $448,771 is primarily due to a
$519,609 decrease in design and management fees due to the sale of COPM in
July 1997 and the sale of HIGSI in August 1997 offset by a $40,225 increase in
golf fees.

     (B) Costs and Expenses

     The Company's total operating expenses decreased to $1,295,118 during
the three-month period ended September 30, 1997 from $1,715,528 during the
quarter ended September 30, 1996.

     The decrease of $420,410 was primarily attributable to a decline in
design, management and marketing expenses of $409,516 due to the sale of COPM
and HIGSI during the quarter and a decline in depreciation and amortization
of $90,370 offset by a $60,753 increase in general and administration
expenses and a $33,837 increase in food and beverage cost of goods sold due
to higher sales volume.

     The Company routinely evaluates the cost of operations at each of
its facilities and establishes budgeted amounts for each significant
category of expense in the areas of pro shop, food and beverage, golf course
maintenance, and general, selling and administrative expenses. Monthly, the
Company analyzes its actual versus budgeted results. Management anticipates
that, as a result of its ongoing review process, costs and expenses will
decline as a percent of revenues.

     Golf course operations include the compensation and benefits costs
of course personnel and related payroll taxes, golf cart leases, equipment
rental and maintenance, clubhouse repairs and upkeep, insurance, utilities,
chemicals, seed and fertilizers, water, supplies and other miscellaneous costs
incurred in the operation of a golf course.

     General and administrative expenses include management and
administrative compensation, related payroll taxes and benefits, professional
fees, including legal and accounting and other consultants, telephone,
utilities, insurance, other taxes, travel, meals and entertainment and
office expenses, including rents.

     Interest expense decreased from $221,386 during the three-month
period ended September 30, 1996 to $205,833 during the three-month
period ended September 30, 1997. The decrease of $15,553 is primarily due
to a decrease in interest expense related to conversions of the convertible
debenture into common stock. The prime rate increased from 8.25% at
September 30, 1996 to 8.50% at September 30, 1997.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations (continued)

     Interest and other income increased from $42,032 during the
three-month period ended September 30, 1996 to $105,952 during the three-month
period ended September 30, 1997. Of this $63,920 increase, approximately
$125,000 relates to a gain on the sale of COPM offset by a $19,289 loss on
the sale of HIGSI. The remaining decrease relates to lower returns on the
Company's other investments due to lower available cash balances in 1997.

     For the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Company did not incur a
loss on equity investments in subsidiaries, improving upon the $55,265 loss
for the quarter ended September 30, 1996.

     (C) Net Loss

     For the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Company recognized a net
loss of $320,114 as compared to a net loss of $426,491 for the three-month
period ended September 30, 1996. The improvement of $106,377 is attributable
to the reasons stated above.

     (D) Inflation

     Inflation has not had a material effect on the Company's operations
during the three or nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 or September
30, 1996.

                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Historically, golf fees, membership fees and dues, pro shop sales, food
and beverage sales and management and design fees have been the principal
source of funds to pay the operating expenses of the Company. To fund
acquisitions and capital improvements, the Company is reliant upon long-term
borrowing and equity financing.

Working Capital

     The Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,098,179 as of
September 30, 1997, as compared to a working capital deficiency of $1,176,015 as
of June 30, 1997 and $404,785 as of December 31, 1996. The reduction in the
working capital deficiency of $77,836 from June 30, 1997 to September 30, 1997
relates primarily to $600,000 in cash received from the sale of COPM offset by
payments for long-term debt of $203,601, fixed and intangible asset additions of
$132,006, predevelopment costs of $66,757, and a $146,722 cash loss for the
quarter net of depreciation and amortization.

     The total borrowings for the Company were $8,311,544 as of September
30, 1997 compared to $8,515,145 as of June 30, 1997 and $9,962,881 as of
December 31, 1996. The reduction in borrowings of $1,651,337 from December
31, 1996 to September 30, 1997 consists of $1,196,043 due to the conversion
of debentures into common stock and $455,294 in payments on bank and
equipment loans. The reduction in borrowings from June 30, 1997 to
September 30, 1997 is related to $203,601 in payments on bank and equipment
loans.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations (continued)

Proceeds from Developer's Resident Lot Sales

     By agreement with developers of residential real estate deveopments
contiguous to the St. James golf course, initial membership fees are paid to the
Company by the developer on behalf of the purchasing resident upon the closing
of each lot sale pursuant to negotiated or assumed agreements. During the three
months ended September 30, 1997, 28 lots were sold by the developer at St.
James, the proceeds of which increased cash by $140,000, compared to 23 lots
sold during the three-month period ended September 30, 1996, the proceeds of
which increased cash by $115,000. As of September 30, 1997, the Company
estimates that there will be 130 future residential lots to be sold, each of
which when sold would generate a $5,000 resident membership fee under the
agreement at St. James. Although lot sales have continued to close at St. James
subsequent to September 1997, there can be no assurance as to whether any
additional lot sales will continue or, if they do occur, over what period of
time the membership fees paid at closing will be received by the Company. See
Note A. Business of the Company and Significant Accounting Policies -
Description of Business regarding the Letter of Intent to sell the golf course
at St. James that would eliminate the Company's receipt of future residential
lot sale closings.
