Jack Nicklaus Spring Golf Tour Tournament on AOL

Jack Nicklaus Spring Golf Tour Tournament on AOL is the story today, and it is the kind of late-April 1999 news blast that makes the pre-E3 season feel like someone kicked the hornet nest. Kesmai, today revealed that it is collaborating with America Online, the world’s leading interactive service, and CBS SportsLine to present the Jack Nicklaus Spring Golf Tour tournament on AOL’s Games Channel. Between April 9th and 11th, thousands of gamers will compete in four rounds of Jack Nicklaus Online Golf Tour, one of the most popular games on AOL. Interested golfers can register now on AOL for the contest at keyword: Jack Nick. The competition will take place over four qualifying rounds throughout the weekend.

It may not be the same thrill as a fresh demo, but this stuff shapes what actually reaches players. Boring paperwork today can turn into games on shelves tomorrow.
