NO TEE TIME ON THE LYNX: COMPANY FILES FOR BANKRUPTCY

          CA-based Lynx Golf "has filed a petition for voluntary
     bankruptcy, laid off nearly half of its work force and is
     working with a creditor in an effort to survive," according
     to Michael Kinsman of the SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE.  Lynx,
     which was bought by a group of celebrities in '97 led by
     Fred Couples, "failed to respond" to inquiries from the
     newspaper, but said in a statement that it hopes to "obtain
     interim bankruptcy court approval of its financial
     reorganization plan within several days."  Kinsman wrote
     that the bankruptcy "surprised few," since Lynx has lost
     money from several years (SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE, 7/28). 
          HIBERNATION FOR THE BEAR? NASDAQ spokesperson Reid
     Walker said that trading of Golden Bear Golf shares "has
     been halted indefinitely, pending receipt of additional
     information from the company" (WALL STREET JOURNAL, 7/29).
