Section 4 – Matters Related to Accountants and Financial Statements


Item 4.01.  Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.


(a) On August 6, 2009, Board of Directors of the Registrant was notified by Moore & Associates Chartered (“Moore”), its independent registered public accounting firm that it was no longer engaged in auditing or reviewing public company financial statements effective as of the date of said notice. On August 27, 2009, the PCAOB revoked the registration of Moore because of violations of PCAOB rules and auditing standards in auditing the financial statements, PCAOB rules and quality controls standards, and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 there under, and noncooperation with a Board investigation..  


The accounting firm Seale and Beers, CPAS has taken over the audit practice of Moore & Associates Chartered. On the same date, August 6, 2009, the accounting firm of Seale and Beers, CPAs was engaged as the Registrant’s new independent registered public accounting firm. The Board of Directors of the Registrant and the Registrant's Audit Committee approved of the dismissal of Moore & Associates Chartered and the engagement of Seale and Beers, CPAs as its independent auditor. None of the reports of Moore & Associates Chartered on the Company's financial statements for either of the past year, since inception or subsequent interim period contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the Registrant's audited financial statements contained in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 a going concern qualification in the registrant's audited financial statements.


During the registrant's most recent fiscal year, since inception and the subsequent interim periods thereto, there were no disagreements with Moore and Associates, Chartered whether or not resolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Moore and Associates Chartered's satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report on the registrant's financial statements. We intend to have financial statements audited by Moore and Associates Chartered reaudited, including the audit of financial statements for year ended December 31,2008, by new independent accountants.


b) On August 6, 2009, the registrant engaged Seale and Beers, CPAs as its independent accountant. During the two most recent fiscal years and the interim periods preceding the engagement, the registrant has not consulted Seale and Beers, CPAs regarding any of the matters set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.


c) The registrant has requested that Moore and Associates, Chartered furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. We were unable to obtain an Exhibit 16 letter from Moore because Moore has refused to provide such letter on advice of its attorneys.


Item 9.01.  Financial Statements, Pro Forma Information and Exhibits


(a)

Not applicable.


(b)

Not applicable.


(c)

Re:   America’s Driving Ranges


Dear Sirs:


We were previously the principal auditors for America’s Driving Ranges and we reported on the financial statements of America’s Driving Ranges for the period from inception, June 9, 2008 to March 31, 2009.  We have read America’s Driving Ranges’ statements under Item 4 of its Form 8-K, dated August 7, 2009

, and we agree with such statements.


For the most recent fiscal period through to August 7, 2009

, there have been no disagreements between America’s Driving Ranges and Moore & Associates, Chtd. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Moore & Associates, Chtd. would have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports.


Yours truly,
