        Dominic Chang, president and chief executive officer, said, "Results
for the first nine months of 1996 reflect the strong performance of the 14 golf
centers that were in operation for the full period, as well as 18 golf
facilities and a golf school, which were acquired during the period.

        "Family Golf currently operates 33 golf facilities in 13 states, and
continues to pursue an ambitious acquisition program made possible in part by a
public offering of common stock completed in July of this year, which yielded
approximately $75 million in net proceeds to the company," Chang concluded.
