Arlington, VA, October 18, 2001 - GolfGopher, a division of Software Performance Systems, Inc. (SPS), recently signed an agreement with ETS (Electronic Transaction Systems, Corp.) to integrate their products and further enhance Pro Shop operations. GolfGopher's Web-based Point-of-Sale system will now integrate with ETS's EMoney 2000 merchant account processing gateway. Golf courses using GolfGopher's POS system with the ETS interface will enjoy many benefits including faster credit card authorizations, lower hardware costs, competitive discount rates and a full suite of cash management tools.

"We are excited about the opportunity to partner with ETS. The integration of our products will deliver so many benefits to our golf course and course management clients. We also like the fact that, just like GolfGopher, ETS offers a completely fault-tolerant solution that keeps the Pro Shop running even if Internet access is interrupted," states Robert Bain, VP of Sales & Marketing at GolfGopher.

Ed Vaughan, CEO of ETS said, "The synergy created through the integration of the ETS EMoney Transaction Platform and the GolfGopher System represents the most comprehensive host-based solution in the market today. ETS and SPS share a common vision of the host-based platform replacing traditional resident-based applications, thereby removing the need for on-site technical support.
