Rand Capital Corporation (Nasdaq:RAND) ("Rand"), a business
development company that makes venture capital investments in
companies with emerging product, service or technology concepts,
announced that it has recently provided a $150,000 follow-on
investment to OnCore Golf Technology, Inc.
OnCore's Series AA preferred stock offering has reached $1.6

has acquired 140,000 shares of OnCore's Series AA preferred stock
for $350,000. Other investors involved in the financing include The

Allen F. ("Pete") Grum, Rand's President and Chief Executive
Officer, commented, "OnCore has developed a unique, game-changing
golf ball technology, and is a great example of the type of
exciting, technology-based companies that are working to grow in
Western New York. The support and participation of the local
investor community is critical to making that happen and we are
pleased to team with The InVentures Group to support OnCore's
growth strategy."
Joseph J. White, President and Chief Operating Officer of OnCore
Golf, added, "Acceptance of our proprietary hollow-metal core golf
ball continues to expand. The capital provided by Rand and our
other investors enables us to advance our sales, marketing and
continued research and development efforts. The OnCore golf ball
facilitates straighter drives, more accurate shot making, and
laser-straight putts. Our goal is to influence the growth and
popularity of Golf as a sport by using our proprietary technology
to elevate golfers' proficiencies and enjoyment of the Game."
OnCore Golf Technology is the designer and marketer of the first
patented, United States Golf Association (USGA®)
conforming, hollow-metal core golf ball. The proprietary alloy
used in the hollow-metal core, combined with ultra-high performance
polymer composite blends in the mantle layer, shifts the ball's
weight to the perimeter. This increases the moment of inertia
and results in reduced sidespin, enhancing the rifle spin of the
golf ball.
The OnCore MA-1.0 Maximum Accuracy Series One is available on
line at http://shop.oncoregolf.com/ and through select pro shops
and golf stores around the country.
