BENSALEM, Pennsylvania, September 30, 2010 - VTree LLC (www.vtreellc.com/) with PGA TOUR(R), three-time Major
champion, and Golf Hall of Fame Inductee Ernie Els proudly tee off and launch
"My Golf Game" (www.vtreellc.com/home/my-golf-game.html)- a dynamic,
interactive golf video game engineered specifically for golf enthusiasts of
all ages and especially those with special needs.
"The goal of 'My Golf Game' is to give people with special needs the
opportunity to play golf on a modern video game," says Chuck Bergen, founder
and president, VTree LLC. "The game can be played with touch screen, foot
pedals, voice recognition and other assistive technology, in addition to
traditional devices like a mouse, keyboards, and Xbox 360(TM)(R) game
controllers."
"My Golf Game" is DVD-based for the PC that utilizes technologies used in
EA SPORTS(TM) games to bring authentic golf action to the gamer.
Current World #10 Ernie Els adds: "I am proud to be associated with 'My
Golf Game.' As a parent of a child with autism it is great to see such a high
quality game available to a wider group of gamers that will help develop key
coordination skills."
A percentage from the sales of "My Golf Game" will go to The Els for
Autism Foundation. The foundation, founded in 2009, is working to build a
world class Center of Excellence - the first of its kind, incorporating all
the services a child with autism needs in order to become a productive member
of society. It will combine cutting-edge education, therapy and research for
children in the autism spectrum. You can read more about The Els for Autism
Foundation and their work at www.ernieels.com/autism.

controllers and many USB adaptive devices.
