delivery of this Agreement.

     4.6  GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED ACCORDING TO THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES THEREOF
RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS.

     4.7  Counterparts: Headings. This Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but such counterparts

headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and
shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.

     4.8  Entire Agreement, Amendments.  This Agreement and the Exhibits
contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof, and supersede all other representations and understandings, oral
or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof. No amendment,
modification, alteration, or waiver of the terms of this Agreement or consent
required under the terms of this Agreement shall be effective unless made in a
writing, which makes specific reference to this Agreement and which has been
signed by the Company and each Purchaser. Any such amendment, modification,
alteration, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance
and for the specific purpose for which given.

     4.9  Notices.  All communications or notices required or permitted by this

     4.11 Maximum Interest. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the
intent of the Company and the Purchaser at all times to comply with the
applicable law governing the maximum rate of interest payable on or in
connection with all indebtedness and transactions hereunder (or applicable
United States federal law to the extent that it permits Purchaser to contract
for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest). If the
applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious
any amount of money or other consideration called for hereunder, or contracted
for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to any loan or advance
hereunder, or if acceleration of the maturity of the Note results in the
Company's having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by law, then it
is the Company's and the Purchaser's express intent that all excess cash
amounts theretofore collected by Purchaser be credited on the principal balance
of the Note (or if the Note has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded
to the Company), and the provisions of this Agreement immediately be deemed
reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder reduced, without the
necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the
applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount.

No. 001         February 12, 1999

                           GOLF ONE INDUSTRIES, INC.
                         16% PARTIALLY CONVERTIBLE NOTE

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Golf One Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company") hereby promises to pay to the order of Capital Fund Leasing, LLC, an
Ohio limited liability company having an address at 9140 Ravenna Road, Unit 2,
Twinsburg, OH 44087 (the "Holder"), or registered assigns, the principal sum of
Three Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,300,000.00), and to pay
interest from the date hereof on the principal sum remaining unpaid at the rate
of sixteen percent (16.00%) per annum based on a 365-day year, such interest to
accrue from the date hereof and together with the whole amount of the principal
hereof shall be payable as provided herein. Principal and interest shall be
payable in lawful money of the United States of America at the principal office
of the Holder or at such other place as the Holder may designate from time to
time in writing to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder shall
have the right, at its sole option, to receive interest due in Common Shares of
the Company based on a price equal to one dollar ($1.00) per share (the
"Interest Shares") up and until the Maximum Number of Shares (defined below)
have been issued.

     On April 30, 1999 (the "First Maturity Date") the Company shall pay to the
Holder the sum of at least $1,000,000.00 (the "Initial Payment"), said payment
to be applied first to accrued interest hereunder and then to the outstanding
principal balance.

     Provided that it is not and has never been in default under this Note, the
Company may, at its election, extend the First Maturity Date to September 30,
1999 (the "Second Maturity Date"). The Company shall make such election by (i)
giving written notice of such to the Holder hereof at least twenty-one (21) days
prior to the First Maturity Date, and (ii) paying to the Holder hereof on or
before the First Maturity Date an extension fee equal to ten percent (10.00%) of
the unpaid amount of the Initial Payment. If the Company shall fail to timely
give such written notice to the Holder hereof, the Holder may, in its absolute
discretion, elect to permit the Company to have such extension upon the
Company's payment of a late notice fee equal to two percent (2.00%) of the
unpaid amount of the Initial Payment. In addition, the Company shall promptly
reimburse the Holder's reasonable legal fees and out of pocket expenses incurred
to review and monitor such extension. During such extension period, the Company
shall make on the last business day of each month payments of at least
$150,000.00 per month to the Holder hereof, such payments to be applied first to
accrued interest hereunder and then to the outstanding principal balance.

     If, from the date of this Note and until to the payment in full of all
accrued interest and the outstanding principal balance hereof, the Company
closes upon any private placement or placements of debt or equity (the "Private
Placements") which in total exceed $500,000.00 in net receipts to or on behalf
of the Company, then the Company shall, within two (2) business days of the
closing of the Private Placement first exceeding such $500,000.00 aggregate and
within two (2) business days of the closing of each subsequent Private
Placement, pay to the Holder hereof an amount equal to the lesser of (i)
twenty-five percent (25.00%) of the aggregate of such Private Placements (less
any prior


<PAGE>   7
amounts which have been paid to the Holder hereof pursuant to this Private
Placement provision), or (ii) the total of the then outstanding principal
balance and accrued interest hereunder. Such payments shall be applied first to
accrued interest hereunder and then to the outstanding principal balance. At
the option of the Company, any such payments made pursuant to this Private
Placement provision on or before April 30, 1999, may be credited toward the
Initial Payment.

     Upon the earlier of (i) the Second Maturity Date, (ii) within two (2)
business days of the Company's closing upon secured financing totaling in
excess of $3,000,000.00 (the "Secured Financing"), or (iii) within two (2)
business days of the Company's closing upon each public offering of debt or
equity (the "Public Offering"), the entire outstanding principal balance and
accrued interest shall be immediately due and payable.

     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, however, in the event
that the net amount made available to the Company through the Secured Financing
and/or the Public Offering is less than the then outstanding principal balance
and accrued interest on this Note, then the outstanding principal balance and
accrued interest hereunder shall be immediately due and payable up to such net
amount and the Company agrees to immediately pay such net amount to the Holder
hereof (said payment to be applied first to accrued interest hereunder and then
to the outstanding principal balance). The remaining balance of this Note after
such payment shall then become due and payable pursuant to the terms of hereof.

     Provided that it is not and has never been in default under this Note and
provided that neither the Secured Financing nor Public Offering has closed, the
Company may, at its election, extend the Second Maturity Date of this Note for
up to two (2) extension periods as follows:

               First Extension:              To December 15, 1999.

               Second Extension:             To February 15, 2000.

     The Company shall make such election by (i) giving written notice of such
to the Holder hereof at least twenty-one (21) days prior to the original or
extended Second Maturity Date, as applicable, and (ii) paying to the holder
hereof on or before such original or extended Second Maturity Date, as
applicable, all unpaid accrued interest through such original or extended
Second Maturity Date, as applicable, plus an extension fee equal to fifteen
percent (15.00%) of the then outstanding principal balance of this Note. If the
Company shall fail to timely give such written notice to the Holder hereof, the
Holder may, in its absolute discretion, elect to permit the Company to have
such extension upon the Company's payment of a late notice fee equal to two
percent (2.00%) of the then outstanding principal balance of this Note. During
such Extension periods, the Company shall make on the last business day of each
month (i) payments of accrued interest and (ii) principal payments of at least
$150,000.00 per month to the Holder hereof. In addition, the Company shall
promptly reimburse the holder's reasonable legal fees and out of pocket
expenses incurred to review and monitor each such extension.

     This Note is one of an authorized issue of $3,300,000 aggregate amount of
16% Partially Convertible Notes of the Company (collectively, the "Notes")
issued pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement dated as of February 12, 1999
between the Company and the Holder (the "Note Purchase Agreement"). The Holder
of this Note is entitled to the benefits of the Note Purchase Agreement and to
enforce the agreements of the Company contained therein. Capitalized terms used
herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the
Note Purchase Agreement.

     1. PREPAYMENT. The Company may prepay and redeem the Notes, at the
election of the Company, upon not less than ten (10) days' notice, at any time
in whole or in part, at a price equal to the outstanding principal of the Notes
together with accrued interest to the redemption date.

                                      -2-

2.   CONVERSION. (a) From time to time and at any time after the date hereof
and prior to payment in full, the outstanding principal amount of this Note,
and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, in whole or in increments of at
least $5,000 of principal or interest, may be converted by the Holder into
Common Shares of the Company (the "Conversion Shares") at the Conversion Price
equal to one dollar ($1.00) per share; provided, however that no more than
125,000 Common Shares (the "Maximum Number of Shares") may be converted
hereunder.

          (b) In order to effect the conversion permitted under this Note, the
     Holder shall issue a notice of conversion substantially in the form
     attached hereto (the "Notice of Conversion") which may be by facsimile and
     surrender the Note for conversion if the Note is not already in possession
     of the Company. Each conversion of all or any portion of the Note will be
     deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the date on
     which the Note has been surrendered at the principal office of the Company.
     At such time as such conversion has been effected, to the extent that any
     portion of the Note is converted, the rights of the Holder with
     respect to such portion of the Note shall cease and the Holder shall be
     deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares of Conversion
     Shares represented thereby.


          (c) No fractional Common Shares shall be issued upon conversion of the
     Note. In lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise
     be entitled, the Company shall round up to the nearest whole Common Share.

          (d)  Within ten days after a conversion has been effected, the Company
     will deliver to the Holder:

               (i) a certificate or certificates representing the number of
          Conversion Shares issuable by reason of conversion in the name of the
          Holder and in such denomination or denominations as the Holder has
          specified; and

               (ii) a new Note representing any principal balance which was not
          converted into Conversion Shares in connection with such conversion;
          all other terms and conditions of the Note will remain in full force
          and effect.

          (c) The issuance of certificates for Conversion Shares upon conversion
     of the Note and/or interest will be delivered by the Company within ten
     (10) days of the date of conversion or the interest payment due date and
     will be made without charge to the Holder for any issuance tax in respect
     thereof or other cost incurred by the Company in connection with such
     conversion and the related issuance of Conversion Shares. In the event the
     certificates are not delivered within such ten day period, the Company
     shall pay to the Holder a penalty of $2,000.00 per day in cash for each day
     thereafter until the date such certificates are delivered to the Holder.

          (f) The Company shall at all times have authorized, reserved and set
     125,000 Common Shares for the conversion hereunder.

          (g) The Conversion Price in effect at any time and the number and kind
     of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the Note shall be subject to
     adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as
     follows after the date hereof and through and including the Maturity Date:


                                      -3-
<PAGE>   9


               (i)   In case the Company shall (1) declare a dividend or make a
          distribution on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of
          Common Stock, (2) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of
          Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (3) combine or
          reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
          number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of the
          record date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective date
          of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted
          so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the
          Conversion Price by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the
          number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to
          such action, and the numerator of which shall be the number of shares
          of Common Stock immediately prior to such action.

               (ii)  Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to
          Subsection (i) above, the number of Conversion Shares purchasable upon
          conversion of the Note shall simultaneously be adjusted by
          multiplying the number of Conversion Shares initially issuable upon
          conversion of the Note by the Conversion Price in effect on the date
          hereof and dividing the product so obtained by the Conversion Price,
          as adjusted.

               (iii) All calculations under this Section 2(g) shall be made to
          the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the
          case may be.

               (iv)  Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted, as herein
          provided, the Company shall promptly cause a notice setting forth the
          adjusted Conversion Price and adjusted number of Conversion Shares
          issuable upon exercise of the Note to be mailed to the Holder, at its
          last address appearing in the Company's register. The Company may
          retain a firm of independent certified public accountants selected by
          the Board of Directors (who may be the regular accountants employed by
          the Company) to make any computation required by this Section 2(g). In
          the case of a dispute as to the adjustment of the Conversion Price,
          the parties hereto agree to arbitrate the same in an office of the
          American Arbitration Association in Cleveland, Ohio utilizing its
          commercial arbitration rules with an arbitrator selected by the
          parties or in the event that they are unable to do so, by the American
          Arbitration Association.

          (h)  In the event of a merger, reorganization, recapitalization or
     similar event of or with respect to the Company (a "Corporate Change")
     (other than a Corporate Change in which all or substantially all of the
     consideration received by the holders of the Company's equity securities
     upon such Corporate Change consists of cash or assets other than securities
     issued by the acquiring entity or any affiliate thereof), this Note shall
     be convertible at the option of the Holder into such class and type or
     securities as the holder would have received had the Holder converted the
     Note immediately prior to such Corporate Change, as appropriately adjusted
     to equitably reflect the Conversion Price and any stock dividend, stock
     split or share combination of the Common Stock after such corporate event.


          (i)  In the event any adjustment to the number of Conversion Shares
     shall be made hereunder, the Maximum Number of Shares shall be similarly
     adjusted on a pro rata basis.

     3.   REGISTRATION. The Company shall maintain at its principal office a
register of the Notes and shall record therein the names and addresses of the
registered holders of the Notes, the address to which notices are to be sent
and the address to which payments are to be made as designated by the
registered holder if other than the address of the holder, and the particulars
of all transfers, exchanges and replacements of Notes. No transfer of a Note
shall be valid


                                      -4-
<PAGE>   10
unless the registered holder or his or its duly appointed attorney request such
transfer to be made on such register, upon surrender thereof for exchange as
hereinafter provided, accompanied by an instrument in writing, in form and
execution reasonably satisfactory to the Company. Each Note issued hereunder,
whether originally or upon transfer, exchange or replacement of a Note, shall be
registered on the date of execution thereof by the Company. The registered
holder of a Note shall be that person or entity in whose name the Note has been
so registered by the Company. A registered holder shall be deemed the owner of a
Note for all purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to
the contrary.

     4. TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE. Subject to compliance with the restrictions on
transfer set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement, the registered holder of any
Note or Notes may, prior to maturity, surrender such Note or Notes at the
principal office of the Company for transfer or exchange. Within a reasonable
time after notice to the Company from a registered holder of its intention to
make such exchange and without expense (other than applicable transfer taxes, if
any) to such registered holder, the Company shall issue in exchange therefor
another Note or Notes dated the date to which interest has been paid on, and for
the unpaid principal amount of, the Note or Notes so surrendered, containing the
same provisions and subject to the same terms and conditions as the Note or
Notes so surrendered. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the
Note Purchase Agreement, each new Note shall be made payable to such person or
entity, as the registered holder of such surrendered Note or Notes may
designate. Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange shall be only in
authorized denominations, which shall be $5,000.

     5. REPLACEMENT. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the
loss, theft, destruction or mutilated of any Note and, if requested by the
Company in case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an
indemnity bond or other agreement or security reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation
of such Note, the Company will issue a new note, of like tenor, in the amount of
the unpaid principal of such Note, and dated the date to which interest has been
paid, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

     6. DEFAULT. The Company shall be in default under this Note upon the
occurrence of (i) any failure to make any payment required under this Note on
the due date of such payment, (ii) any Event of Default as defined in either the
Note Purchase Agreement entered into between the Company and Capital Fund
Leasing, LLC on February 10, 1999, or (iii) the insolvency of, business failure
of, or an assignment for the benefit of creditors by or the filing of a petition
under bankruptcy, insolvency, or debtor's relief law, or for any re-adjustment
of indebtedness, composition or extension by the Company, or commenced against
the Company which is not discharged within sixty (60) days from the date of the
filing thereof. In the event of any such default hereunder, this Note shall be
automatically accelerated and immediately due and payable at the option of the
holder hereof, without notice or demand, and shall thereafter bear interest at
twenty four percent (24.00%) per annum, compounded daily. In addition, the
holder hereof shall have all of the rights and remedies, at law and in equity,
by statute or otherwise, and no remedy herein conferred is intended to be
exclusive of any other remedy and each remedy shall be cumulative and shall be
in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing
at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

     7. CHANGES, PARTIES. This Note can only be changed by an agreement in
writing signed by the Company and the Holder. This Note shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the Company and the Holder and their respective
successors and assigns.

     8. WAIVER OF PRESENTMENT. The Company hereby waives presentment, demand,
notice, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the
delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note.

     9.   MAXIMUM RATE OF INTEREST. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be
the intent of the Company and Holder at all times to comply with the applicable
law governing the maximum rate of interest payable on or in connection with all
indebtedness and transactions hereunder (or applicable United States federal law
to the extent that it permits Holder to contract for, charge, take, reserve or
receive a greater amount of interest). If the applicable law is ever judicially
interpreted so as to render usurious any amount of money or other consideration
called for hereunder, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received
with respect to any loan or advance hereunder, or if acceleration of the
maturity of this Note or the indebtedness hereunder or if any prepayment by the
Company results in the Company's having paid any interest in excess of that
permitted by law, then it is the Company's and Holder's express intent that all
excess cash amounts theretofore collected by Holder be credited on the principal
balance of this Note (or if this Note has been or would thereby be paid in full,
refunded to the Company), and the provisions of this Note immediately be deemed
reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder reduced, without the
necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the
applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise
called for hereunder. The right to accelerate maturity of this Note does not
include the right to accelerate any interest which has not otherwise accrued on
the date of such acceleration, and Holder does not intend to collect any
unearned interest in the event of acceleration.

     10.  GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED ACCORDING TO THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES THEREOF
RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has executed this Note as of the day and
year set forth above.
