Golf Legend Sam Snead Joins Classic Series

PHOENIX, March 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Classic Golf Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: CSGC - news)
today announced that Sam Snead has agreed to play in the inaugural Classic on March 30, 1998 at
Superstition Mountain. His playing partner for the event will be Lionel Hebert.

Snead's career record is extraordinary. The holder of numerous individual records, including most
career PGA Tour victories with 81, Snead also holds the record for most victories in a single event,
with eight wins at the Greater Greensboro Open, and became the oldest player to win a PGA Tour
event when he won the 1965 Greater Greensboro at age 52. He holds three Masters titles, 1949,
1952, and 1954, and three PGA Championships, 1942, 1949, and 1951. He also has a British
Open crown with a win in 1946. His Ryder Cup career is also outstanding, with appearances on
the 1937, 1947, 1949, 1951, 1953, 1955, and 1959 teams. He was a playing captain of the 1951
and 1959 teams, as well as a non-playing captain of the 1969 team.

That Snead's dominance of the game came at a time when the likes of Hogan, Demaret, and
Nelson where actively competing on the Tour speaks volumes for his remarkable playing record.

Hebert's victories include his 1957 PGA Championship, in which he narrowly edged out fellow
Classic player Dow Finsterwald. Hebert also was a member of the 1957 Ryder Cup team. Hebert
comes from a family that is steeped in golf history. His brother Jay had a PGA Championship to his
credit, as well as a number of Ryder Cup appearances. David F. Marr III, CEO of Classic Golf
Corp., stated, ''I am delighted that Lionel will be playing. He was a terrific friend of my father's and
his participation is very fitting.''

Marr added, ''Sam personifies golf. His playing record and personality make him a living legend of
the game of golf. We not only have the player with the most major victories, Jack Nicklaus, but we
now have the player with the most career victories, as well. This inaugural field goes beyond what
we had expected and will certainly make this event very memorable.''

The company has one invitee and playing partner to announce to complete the inaugural Classic
field.
