News release that somehow didn't get on the news. At least I missed it. Here it is if you did also.

Reston, VA, June 3, 1999: TV onthe WEB, a strategic partner of Ampex
Corporation (Amex: AXC) today announced an endorsement contract with LPGA
Champion Hollis Stacy, whereby she agrees to carry a TV onthe WEB golf bag
and sport the TV onthe WEB logo on her golf shirt during competition.
Hollis is participating in her 30th consecutive US Open, which began
today, and is a winner of 4 Majors, 3 of which are US Opens. No other
woman has competed in 30 straight Opens. She leads the Evista Legends
Series, a series of LPGA events for women over 40 (womens version of
Seniors Tour).
TVW recognizes the power and potential of the women's golfing community on
line, and its endorsement of Hollis Stacy represents a strong commitment to
fostering its brand within women's golf.
Hollis Stacy, one of the most successful golfers ever to play on the Ladies
Professional Golf Association tour, will make history this week at the
United States Open Golf Championship at Mississippi's Old Waverly Golf
Club. Known for her consistency, all-around superior performance and
affability, Stacy has her sights set on a fourth U.S. Open victory. Few
athletes have stayed at the pinnacle of their sports for three decades and
fewer still have done so by the age of 45. A three-time United States Golf
Association Girls Junior Amateur champion, Stacy was recently recognized by
Golf World magazine as the number one girl golfer of the 20th Century.
Stacy played in her first U.S. Open as a 16-year-old amateur and then won
this prestigious tournament back-to-back in 1977 and 1978 at the youthful
ages of 23 and 24, respectively. Stacy won the Open again in 1984 at Salem
Country Club in Peabody, Massachusetts. The fourth of 10 children, Stacy's
life and golfing career have been, and continue to be, remarkable. Her
professional record includes four major wins and 19 victories overall.
Known for her ability to excel in showcase events, Stacy has been a
consistent top contender at the U.S. Open throughout her career. Over the
30-year span, Stacy has recorded ten top-15 finishes and made the cut in
all but a handful of years. During last year's Open at Blackwolf Run in
Wisconsin, her determined play earned her a tie for 15th at what proved to
be the toughest course in the long history of the Women's U.S. Open.
Stacy's 1999 on-course performance has demonstrated that she remains among
the game's elite. Her three top-10 finishes and strong week-to-week play
have placed her in the lead of the lucrative Evista Legends Series. As has
been the case throughout her career, Stacy is wildly popular with galleries
and sponsors alike. Her other endorsements include Bald Eagle, a popular
new golf ball produced by Denver, Colorado-based SP Golf. As Stacy tees
off for her record-setting 30th U.S. Open this week her fans worldwide will
enjoy the irony of this occasion. Stacy's U.S. Open victory in 1984 matched
the three Open victories of legendary golfer Babe Zaharias, who won her
third Open title at the same Salem Country Club in 1954, the
year Stacy was born. Remarkably, Stacy's 1984 victory came at the age of 30.
