ProLink GPS: Features and Benefits
Hole-by-hole graphics on a non-intrusive, high-resolution color monitor affixed to golf carts give golfers precise distances to targets and provide vibrant, easy-to-understand graphics of fairways, greens, hazards and other geographical features. Moreover, better course navigation and less guesswork aids golfers’ shot selections and, in turn, improves pace of play. Other on-screen features include ordering food and beverage at the touch of a button on the ninth and 18th tees, as well as personal scoring and tournament leaderboards.
With ProLink GPS systems, courses streamline operations by optimizing tee-sheet yield and enhancing golf cart wear-and-tear monitoring. Through its incremental revenue generation capabilities, bottom-line savings and overall game-improvement and enjoyment features for golfers, ProLink GPS has become an integral part of course operations. Additionally, courses are better equipped to manage large tournaments and corporate outings, thus attracting additional events.
Courses engaging with ProLink Solutions and its distributors substantially lower expenses by not having to hire additional on-course staff or develop costly, cumbersome yardage books. They also add up to four rounds per day from pace-of-play improvements, and can control messages from a central computer from which clubhouse staff can issue golfers "speed-up-play" and inclement-weather notices. ProLink GPS systems also allow for quicker reaction to on-course medical emergencies.
