Pezula Championship Golf Course to implement GPS based management system

Pezula Championship Golf Course has been selected as the first course in Africa to implement the world's finest GPS based golf course management system. Visibly excited, Jeff Clause, Golf Director at Pezula says, “Life should always be about win-win relationships and the synergy between Pezula and the Informer GPS System couldn't be stronger. Always leading from the front, Pezula leads the way again by being the first course to unveil this interactive information management system.” Imported from Canada by local distributors Golf-X, the Informer system has been successfully implemented at many courses around the world since its innovative launch 10 years ago. Golfers will experience the system through a purpose-built colour monitor which will attach to the golf cart. This will empower the golfer with a wide range of features to enhance the already superb golfing experience available to golfers at Pezula under the wing of Clause and his impeccable management team. Some of the features that golfers will enjoy on the system will include precise (less than 1m accuracy) distance measurements to flagsticks, hazards, sand traps and other landmarks, drive distance measurements, pro tips, pace-of-play information, tournament scoring, live leader board, weather alerts, electronic scorecard, emergency messaging, food and beverage and pro-shop merchandise ordering. All on the golfer friendly user interface. In addition, the unit will feature a live Supersport feed to keep golfers updated with latest scores for all their favourite sports whilst they're on the course. Clause talks enthusiastically of the benefits for everyone. “Firstly, the win comes to the golfer himself. Secondly, the system works for us, the Golf Course Managers. It allows us to control the flow and pace of the golf course and to communicate with players and staff on the course. And third, but by no means least, it allows us to support the local business community by providing them with unique on-course branding opportunities.” Whilst Scratch Golf Media, the company who market the media on the system, have been inundated with demand from the corporate market, they are making special efforts to encourage and assist appropriate local businesses to take advantage of the limited opportunities available.
