SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

Results for the six months ended June 30, 1996 reflect the operations of nine
golf centers for the full period, operations of three golf centers for
approximately five months, operations of one golf center for approximately
four months, operations of two golf centers for about three months, operations
of three golf centers for two months and of six golf centers for one month
or less. Results for the period ended June 30, 1995 reflect the operations of
the three golf centers for the full period, operations of the one golf center
(which was undergoing renovation) for approximately four months, operations of
two golf centers for approximately half of the period and operations of two
golf centers for two months. As a result of the change in the number of golf
centers open from period to period, the comparison between the 1996 and 1995
periods may not necessarily be meaningful.

Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $10.2 million as
compared to $5.4 million for the same period in 1995, an increase of $4.8
million (87.9%). The overall increase in revenue is attributable to having
additional golf centers in operation during the 1996 period, as described
above partially offset by a decrease in revenue caused by severe winter
conditions in the Northeast region in 1996, relative to milder winter
conditions in 1995. Total revenue for the six golf centers operating for
predominantly all of the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 (Farmingdale,
Wayne, Douglaston, Elmsford, Utica and Syracuse) increased 7.9% to $5.1 million
in the 1996 period from $4.7 million in the 1995 period. The increase in
revenues for these six golf centers was primarily due to stronger merchandise
and golf instruction sales.

Operating revenues, consisting of all sales except merchandise sales, amounted
to $7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to $4.2
million for the comparable 1995 period, an increase of $3.5 million (85.1%).
The increase in operating revenues was primarily attributable to having
additional golf centers in operation during the 1996 period.

Merchandise sales, consisting of golf clubs, balls, bags, gloves, videos,
apparel and related accessories, amounted to $2.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $1.3 million for the comparable 1995
period, an increase of $1.2 million (96.7%). The increase in merchandise sales
was primarily due to the contribution of new locations.

Operating expenses, consisting of operating wages and employee costs, land
rent, depreciation of golf driving range facilities and equipment, utilities
and all other facility operating costs, increased to $4.7 million (60.5% of
operating revenue) in the 1996 period from $2.6 million (63.4% of operating
revenue) in the 1995 period, an increase of $2.1 million (76.5%). The increase
in operating expenses was primarily due to the operating costs of locations
that were not operated by the Company during the 1995 period. Operating
expenses as a percentage of operating revenues decreased to 60.5% in 1996 from
63.4% in 1995 primarily due to the increase in revenues and lower
corresponding incremental increases in certain fixed costs, such as rent.

The cost of merchandise sold increased to $1.6 million (65.8% of merchandise
sales) in the 1996 period from $0.8 million (65.9% of merchandise sales) in
the comparable 1995 period. The overall increase in this cost of $0.8 million
(96.6%) was primarily due to the higher level of merchandise sales.



     
<PAGE>



Selling , general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June
30, 1996 amounted to $1.5 million (14.6% of total revenue) compared to $0.6
million (10.6% of total revenue) in the comparable 1995 period, an increase of
$0.9 million (157.4%), primarily due to the expenses associated with operating
additional golf centers.

Interest expense decreased to $137,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996
from $241,000 in the comparable 1995 period. Other income, primarily interest
income, increased to $290,000 in the 1996 period from $23,000 in the 1995
period. The decrease in interest expense and the increase in interest income
are attributable to the receipt and use of the proceeds from the Secondary
Offering in December, 1995.

The Company had income before income taxes for the six months ended June 30,
1996 of $2.6 million as compared to income of $1.2 million in the comparable
1995 period. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 amounted to
$1.6 million as compared to $0.7 million for the comparable 1995 period.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

Results for the three months ended June 30, 1996 reflect the operations of
thirteen golf centers for the full period, operations of one golf center for two
months and of six golf centers for one month or less.  Four golf centers were
undergoing renovation for most of this period.  Results for the period ended
June 30, 1995 reflect the operations of the five golf centers for the full
period, operations of the one golf center (which was undergoing renovation) for
approximately one month, operations of two golf centers for approximately two
months. As a result of the change in the number of golf centers open from period
to period, the comparison between the 1996 and 1995 periods may not necessarily

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was $6.9 million as
compared to $3.7 million for the same period in 1995, an increase of $3.2
million (87.5%). The overall increase in revenue is primarily attributable to
having additional golf centers in operation during the 1996 period. Total
revenue for the six golf centers operating for the three months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995 (Farmingdale, Wayne, Douglaston, Elmsford, Utica and Syracuse)
increased 14.9% to $3.4 million in the 1996 period from $3.0 million in the
1995 period. The increase in revenues for these six golf centers is primarily
due to stronger merchandise and golf instruction sales.

Operating revenues, consisting of all sales except merchandise sales, amounted
to $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to $2.8
million for the comparable 1995 period, an increase of $2.2 million (79.0%).
The increase in operating revenues was primarily attributable to having
additional golf centers in operation during the 1996 period.

Merchandise sales, consisting of golf clubs, balls, bags, gloves, videos,
apparel and related accessories, amounted to $1.8 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $0.8 million for the comparable 1995
period, an increase of $1.0 million (115.3%). The increase in merchandise
sales was primarily due to the contribution of new locations.

Operating expenses, consisting of operating wages and employee costs, land
rent, depreciation of golf driving range facilities and equipment, utilities
and all other facility operating costs, increased to $2.4 million (48.0 % of
operating revenue) in the 1996 period from $1.6 million (56.4% of operating
revenue) in the 1995 period, an increase of $0.8 million (52.5%). The increase
in operating expenses was primarily due to the operating costs of locations
that were not operated by the Company during the 1995 period. The decrease in
operating expenses as a percentage of

operating revenues was primarily the result of increased revenue and a lower
incremental increase in certain fixed or partially fixed costs, such as rent.

The cost of merchandise sold increased to $1.2 million (65.0% of merchandise
sales) in the 1996 period from $0.5 million (63.7% of merchandise sales) in
the comparable 1995 period. The overall increase in this cost of $0.7 million
(119.4%) was primarily due to the higher level of merchandise sales. The
increase in this cost as a percentage of merchandise sales was due to a change
in the product mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June
30, 1996 amounted to $845,000 (12.3% of total revenue) compared to $226,000
(6.2% of total revenue) in the comparable 1995 period primarily due to
expenses associated with operating additional golf centers.

Interest expense decreased to $37,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996
from $148,000 in the comparable 1995 period. Other income, primarily interest
income, increased to $93,000 in the 1996 period. The decrease in interest
expense and the increase in interest income, is attributable to the receipt
and use of proceeds from the public offering in December 1995.

The Company had income before income taxes for the three months ended June 30,
1996 of $2.5 million as compared to income of $1.2 million in the comparable
1995 period. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1996 amounted to
$1.6 million as compared to $0.7 million for the comparable 1995 period.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 1996, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $2.3 million
compared to a working capital of $20.6 million at December 31, 1995, which
decrease was principally due to the acquisition of golf facilities and capital
expenditures during the six month ended June 30, 1996.

The cash requirements of funding the Company's expansion have historically
exceeded cash flow from operations. Accordingly, the Company has satisfied its
capital needs primarily through debt and equity financing. On July 9, 1996, the
Company received net proceeds of $75.3 million from a public offering of Common
Stock.

The Company's outstanding indebtedness as of June 30, 1996 of $ 17.0 million
bears interest at fixed and variable rates currently ranging from 5.25% to
10.5%. On November 15, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with Taipei
Bank, New York Agency for a construction loan of up to $1.7 million for the
development of the golf facility at Henrietta, New York. This loan bears
interest at the prime rate plus 2% per annum, and is due May 14, 1997. As of
June 30, 1996, the Company had drawn down an aggregate amount of $1.7 million
under this loan. The indebtedness was fully satisfied on August 1, 1996.

As of June 30, 1996, the Company had $6.6 million outstanding under a line
of credit with Chemical Bank. Amounts outstanding under the credit line bear
interest at prime plus 1.5%. The outstanding line was fully satisfied on
July 9, 1996.

The Company anticipates making substantial additional expenditures in
connection with the acquisition and operating of new golf facilities and
capital improvements to existing facilities. Golf center opening expenditures
primarily relate to projected golf center construction and opening costs,
associated marketing activities and the addition of personnel. From time to
time, the Company acquires, rather than leases, the land on which its golf
centers are located, which entails additional expenditures. Based on the
Company's experience with its existing golf centers, the Company believes that
the cost of opening or acquiring a golf center generally will not exceed $3.5
million (exclusive of land costs). However, there can be no assurance that
golf center opening or acquisition costs will not exceed $3.5 million. Golf
center acquisition costs vary substantially depending on the location and
status of the acquired property (i.e. whether significant improvements are
necessary) and whether the Company acquires or leases the related land. Land
acquisition costs vary substantially depending on a number of factors,
including principally location. To the extent that the Company acquires any
golf courses, the Company may be required to make capital improvements to
these courses, depending again upon the location and status of the acquired
property. The cost of golf course acquisition depends, to a large extent, upon
the price of the land and may substantially exceed the anticipated cost of
golf center acquisitions.

TRENDS

The Company plans to open additional golf centers. As such additional golf
centers commence operations, total revenue should continue to increase. In
addition, the Company believes that as its currently opened golf centers
mature, revenue and operating income from such centers should increase due to
customer awareness, programs marketing the golf centers to various special
interest groups, expanding ties to the local business and golfing community,
marketing programs, and the growing popularity of golf. Such increase may be
partially offset by initial losses from pre-opening costs and initial
operating losses associated with new golf centers.

SEASONALITY

Historically, the second and third quarters accounted for a greater portion of
the Company's operating income than have first and fourth quarters of the
year. This is primarily due to an outdoor playing season limited by inclement
weather. Although most of the Company's facilities are designed to be
all-weather, portions of such facilities, such as miniature golf courses which
are outdoors, tend to be vulnerable to weather conditions. One of the
Company's golf centers and one golf course are closed during a portion of the
winter. Also, golfers are less inclined to practice when weather conditions
limit their ability to play golf on outdoor courses. The Company believes that
the Company's recent expansion into areas (Arizona, California, Georgia,
Virginia and Florida) where inclement weather may have to some extent less of an
impact on the outdoor playing season than in the Northeast may mitigate this
seasonal pattern somewhat. Nonetheless, this seasonal pattern, as well as the
timing of new center openings, may cause the Company's results of operations to
vary significantly from quarter to quarter. Accordingly, period-to-period
comparisons are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied on as
indicative of future results.


INFLATION

There was no significant impact on the Company's operations as a result of
inflation during the three months ended June 30, 1996.
