-Mio to fill “Official Watch” Category-

March 21, 2006 – Vancouver, BC – Mio GOLF XE, the world’s first strapless heart rate monitor and statistical golf watch has announced that they will be the “Official Watch” of the Duramed FUTURES Tour for 2006.

“We are thrilled to support the Duramed FUTURES Tour and to join a growing list of companies who are excited by the next generation of LPGA players,” says Jennifer Brookman, director of marketing at Physi-Cal Enterprises, parent company of the Mio brand of watches.  “The Mio Golf XE watch is a tool that can assist all golfers in getting important statistical information about their games such as scores, putts, sand saves, fairways hit, etc.  Plus, the beauty of Mio is that it keeps heart rate and we all know that having a steady heart rate during competition separates the winners from the non-winners.”

As part of their involvement with the Duramed FUTURES Tour, Mio Golf XE will sponsor a “First Time Winner” award on Tour by honoring every player who wins for the very first time with a Mio Golf XE watch.  In addition, every staff member of the Duramed FUTURES Tour will receive a watch and a tour-wide discount program.

Mio Golf XE came on the scene in early 2005 and has proven to be a great tool for golf coaches and players interested in balancing the physical and mental aspects of the game.  In fact, Mio caught the attention of the world-class pro coaching team of Pia Nilsson and Lynn Marriott, named by Golf Digest among the Top 50 coaches.  “Heart rate is a good indicator of your emotional and mental state,” affirms Nilsson, whose students include Annika Sorenstam.  “Once you find the rate you play best at, you can adjust physically, mentally and emotionally to maintain it.  Golf XE is a critical tool in this process.”

Mio Golf XE retails for $179 and may be ordered by calling 1-877-566-4636 or by visiting the website at www.miowatch.com/golf.
