Asheville, NC – Tom Horan and Jan Stephenson announce the new TV show, Golfalicious™ which has just finished shooting the series’ pilot. Tom and Jan will together host the weekly golf lifestyle show that will have segments about anything and everything that people equate to a golf lifestyle. The show will be shot at various locations throughout the US and Australia with the addition of celebrity guest hosts from time to time.
“People want to know about where golfers eat, drink and play in their personal time,” said Tom. “I think people are hungry for something that is exciting about golf and golfers other than watching them play the game. And, anything having to do with health and fitness interests viewers today. I’ve been talking about the lifestyle of golfers on my show, Speaking of Golf, for years. The public is ready for a show of this nature.”
Australian native and LPGA legend, Jan Stephenson brings an international flair to the show and is looking forward to what her Aussie buddies have to say. “It’s not just about golf. There are too many boring shows watching golf tournaments,” said Jan. “Finally, a lifestyle show with golf. It has it all. Great food, wine, resorts, celebrities and golf. What more could you ask for? I’m sharing a dream! Eat, drink and golf it off. What a way to live!”
The show will be produced by Florida Film & Tape, Orlando, with Bradford Fuller as Director and with Tom and Sonja Horan as Co-Executive Producers. FF&T enjoys a national reputation as an action-oriented television production company with several network shows both on the reel and in development.
