GOLFERS RENEW SWING WITH SPECIALTY MASSAGE
Lake of the Ozarks Spa Unveils 'Golfer's Delight' Treatment
June 19, 2007-LAKE OZARK, MO-Golfers may not automatically think
about going to a spa for help with their game, but a Golfer's Delight
Massage may be just what the golf pro orders. Spa Shiki at the Lodge
of Four Seasons on Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks offers a 50 or
80-minute massage designed specifically for a golfer's concerns.
"Prior to a golf game, the massage helps a golfer loosen up,"
says Spa Shiki massage therapist and Pilates instructor Todd Borron.
"It can make your game more fluid."
The Golfer's Delight Massage concentrates on the neck, back and
shoulders to relieve discomfort from tight muscles and on the lower
back and hamstrings to create proper balance and flexibility.
"During the summer months, golfers need to incorporate a body
maintenance program that focuses on core strength and flexibility,"
says Club at Porto Cima head golf professional Jon Crane. "Massage
is a significant component in maintaining flexibility and alleviating
undue stress on the back and joints, the cause of most golf related
injuries." Featuring a Jack Nicklaus-signature golf course
that is recognized as one of the nation's top private courses by
Golf Digest, the Club at Porto Cima is one of Spa Shiki's sister
companies, part of the Four Seasons Group.

WITCH'S COVE GOLF CLUB
EARNS ZAGAT HONORS
Robert Trent Jones, Sr. Masterpiece One of Only 10 Missouri Courses
Listed
LAKE OZARK, MO - March 20, 2007 - As the spring golf season inches
ever so close, Witch's Cove Golf Club at The Lodge of Four Season
Golf Resort & Spa Shiki will start the year with yet another
award under its belt. The Robert Trent Jones, Sr. masterpiece, located
in the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks, has earned its way into the
highly-recognized Zagat Survey of America's Top Golf Courses for
2006-2007.
One of only 10 courses in Missouri to earn entry into the Zagat
survey, Witch's Cove earned high marks for its course conditions,
facilities, service and overall value. Zagat's 'America's Top Golf
Courses' list featured more than 6,000 golfers who reviewed 1,095
courses in the U.S., including the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
According to the entry for Witch's Cove: "It's not just superstition
that the lake's level plays a big part in the challenge on holes
like the two par-3s carrying the water at this beautiful but difficult
Robert Trent Jones, Sr. spread, so prepare to use every club in
your bag." The report than added: "Still, chased by the
filet at scrumptious HK's Steakhouse, it's a nice golf experience."
The Lodge of Four Seasons earned "Best in Midwest" honors
by readers of Travel & Leisure Golf last October and offers
54 holes of championship golf. The Lodge's two other courses feature
the Ken Kavanaugh-designed Season's Ridge Golf Club and the semi-private
Jack Nicklaus Signature Club at Porto Cima.
"Just having a great golf course doesn't automatically get
you into the highly-regarded Zagat survey," explains Lodge
General Manager David Griffin. "You have to have the whole
package; the facilities, the service
everything it takes to
ensure a great overall guest experience. Earning Zagat honors is
a tremendous form of recognition to the entire Lodge of Four Seasons
staff and something that we take pride in having achieved."

'TEE IT UP FOR THE TROOPS'
SUPPORTS THOSE WHO PROTECT US OCTOBER 12
JULY 1, 2007-LAKE OZARK, MO - On Friday, October 12, 2007 The Lodge
of Four Seasons will host the 1st annual "Tee It Up For The
Troops" golf event in Missouri's popular Lake of the Ozarks.
Proceeds from this event will benefit Tee It Up For The Troops,
Inc., a non-profit organization whose goal is to support organizations
and programs to assist the fallen and disabled members of the United
States Armed Forces, past and present, and their families.
The event will include a 4-person shamble on the three Lodge of
Four Seasons golf courses including Witch's Cove (Robert Trent Jones,
Sr.); Seasons Ridge (Ken Kavanaugh) and the ultra exclusive Club
at Porto Cima (Jack Nicklaus Signature-design).
Included in the shotgun event will be a lunch for golfers, a day
of golf, a VIP reception with entertainment all to support our troops
and their families.
"This is an opportunity for all of us to suit up for those
brave souls who gear up to protect us," said Peter Brown, Sr.,
Chairman of the event, who added: "Tee It Up For The Troops
will also feature a fly-over by military aircraft, several pieces
of military ground equipment on display, and a number of military
personnel on hand."
Golfers have an opportunity to play their choice of golf course,
enjoy lunch, attend the VIP reception after their round of golf,
enjoy some fine entertainment at the awards ceremony and participate
in a special military coining event where participants will be recognized
for their support of the event and our military troops.
"A number of community leaders have joined in to help with
the program, however, we also need more sponsors and volunteers
for the event," added Brown. "We would encourage both
sponsors and golfers to visit our web site to see how they can help
and sign up to play."
Foursomes are still available with the cost being $1,600 per team
at The Club at Porto Cima, $1,200 per team at Witch's Cove, and
$800 per team at Season's Ridge Golf Club. The event kicks off at
noon on October 12.

at the luxurious Lodge of Four Seasons for $135. Call 877-401-5933
