NEW EXCITEMENT ADDED TO GolfAhoy GOLF CRUISES

Million Dollar Hole-In-One Shoot-Outs

(February 2006) GolfAhoy.com announced a new element to its golf cruise programs worldwide by offering Million Dollar Hole In One Shoot-Outs on its exclusive country club and corporate group and incentive Caribbean, Hawaiian, Mediterranean and Mexican Riviera 7,10 and 14 day golf cruise packages. The announcement made at the 2006 PGA Merchandise Show & Convention in Orlando last week, stirred up a controversial debate over the issue of tournament prizes and amateur status.

GolfAhoy.com Chairman & CEO, Anthony Webber, personally selected Silversea’s Award –Winning, 382-guest, Silver Shadow for GolfAhoy’s annual “14 Day Caribbean Christmas & NewYear Golf Tournament Cruise” for golfers of all ages, singles, couples, foursomes and families, December 21st ’06 to January 4th ’07.

Webber’s company pioneered the concept of golf and cruising with their first sold out country club golf cruise in the Caribbean in 1988. Since then GolfAhoy has grown internationally with franchised GolfAhoy Golf Travel Bureau offices worldwide. GolfAhoy.com is the leading ‘golf cruise’ referred site on all popular search engines today, including Google and Yahoo.

Webber said he selected Silversea, in part, because the ultra luxury line was again voted number-one “Small Ship Cruise Line” in the 18th annual American Conde Nast Traveler readers choice awards in October, 2005. ”Silversea is recognized as an innovator in the luxury travel niche, offering guests large-ship amenities aboard four intimate ALL-SUITE ships with published fare per diems around twelve hundred to four thousand dollars. A GolfAhoy Silversea Golf Cruise doesn’t come cheap. It’s one of those travel experiences that, if you have to ask how much, you probably can’t afford it - but GolfAhoy.com has negotiated discounted ‘early birdie’ fares with Silversea for it’s Christmas & New Year golf tournament cruise group.

GolfAhoy.com has 5,000 other golf vacation packages to choose from that’ll suit all golf travel budgets for North America’s 27 million golfers”, added Webber. GolfAhoy packaged their Christmas & New Year Golf cruise on Silver Shadow around a Million Dollar Hole-In-One Shoot-Out Challenge on one of the Caribbean’s top championship courses included in the 9 island 7 golf tournament itinerary. The golf tournament package, which also includes entry in GolfAhoy Golf Academy At Sea clinics, is in addition to GolfAhoy’s early birdie group discount cruise fare which starts at $6,966 per passenger and must be booked before May 25th to qualify for the ‘early birdie’ discounts.

Ports O’ Call on the voyage from Ft. Lauderdale are Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Aruba, Netherland Antilles, Venezuela, Grenada, St.Lucia, Antigua and Tortola, British Virgin Islands.

“If I win the Million Dollar Hole-In-One prize I’ll reluctantly but happily give up my amateur status for a year and donate the $1,000,000 to Catholic Charities Adoption Services” said Webber.GolfAhoy guests on the Silver Shadow Christmas & New Year’s golf tournament cruise, who upgrade accommodations and purchase Royal, Grand, Rossellini or Owner’s Suites, experience highly personalized attention from personal butlers certified by the Guild of Professional English Butlers, the organization renowned for training butlers for careers in the royal palaces of Great Britain.
