LOS ANGELES, March 27, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Empire Post Media, Inc.

The original two hour television show featured the world's greatest golf course architects, writers and personalities selecting eighteen golf holes from the world's great golf courses that when combined would make the perfect golf course. Well known holes such as United States' Pebble Beach's 8th, Augusta's 13th and Scotland's St Andrews' 17th were selected along with lesser known gems such as South Africa's Durban CC 3rd, England's Woodhall Spa's 12th and Japan's Hirono's 15th. The show featured comments from golf legends such as Gary Player, Tom Weiskopf, John Daly and Ben Crenshaw.
World famous golf architect Tom Doak, also a finalist for designing and building the new 2016 Olympic golf course in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Co-Produced the show with Empire CEO Peter Dunn. "As a golfer myself, I know that playing famous golf holes where the golf legends have walked is a tremendous thrill," Dunn stated. "We hope to offer golfers all over the world who have no chance of getting on these exclusive courses a lifelike 3D interactive e-book experience that replicates the thrill of playing these holes at a modest cost. With e-books retailing for around $10 and over 50 million golfers worldwide, even a limited success could produce an excellent result for Empire."
