MELBOURNE, Australia. (May 1, 2006) – SureShot GPS, a handheld golf course measuring device with enhanced features, now is available in some golf retail shops in North and South Carolina, as part of the company’s expanding retail marketing program. Carolina Custom Golf has added SureShot GPS to its retail offerings in all seven of its locations in North Carolina, including Raleigh, North Raleigh, Cary, Winston-Salem, Charlotte (two stores) and Pineville. SureShot GPS also is for sale in the pro shop at Hampton Hall, a Pete Dye-designed golf course in Bluffton, S.C.
"SureShot GPS really stands out, not only because of its color screen, but also because it allows you to be aware of distances to hazards and other features," said Chip Roth, manager of the North Raleigh location of Carolina Custom Golf. "It is hands-down the easiest to use of the measuring devices. Word of mouth is spreading the news quickly. Golfers are discovering that SureShot GPS really helps them with course management."
SureShot recently expanded its distribution to over twenty countries worldwide. Developed last year by Tee2Green Technologies Pty Ltd, SureShot GPS is being praised by golfers for its color screen, simple user interface and multiple options.
"In creating the SureShot GPS, we wanted to provide a superior device for measuring distances from tee to green," said Simon Webb, co-founder of Tee2Green Technologies. "We believe the features incorporated into the device are enhancing the golfing experience for golfers all over the world."
SureShot GPS was developed for the global golf market to answer the age-old question: "How far is it to the green?" With this advanced handheld device, distances can be measured from the tee to the front, center and back of the green, together with up to fifteen hazards. The specially-designed color, backlit screen with polarized filter displays distances in either yards or meters. The device is capable of holding up to ten golf courses and can be used on any course worldwide, subject to local rules in accordance with the recent ruling provided by the USGA and the R&A. Courses are available for downloading from the company Web site (www.sureshotgps.com), or players can map courses themselves using the SureShot GPS. The recorded information then can be stored on the device and/or stored and uploaded to the company Web site. Course information on the Web site is catergorized as either user mapped or professionally mapped. Professionally-mapped courses have been mapped by a Tee2Green staff member. Additionally, a scorekeeping feature allows players to maintain accurate scoring as they play, reducing the possibility of signing an inaccurate scorecard at the round’s end. Battery life of the device is seven hours on a full charge. Many golfers, both amateur and professional, already have discovered the exceptional qualities and ease of use which SureShot GPS offers.
SureShot GPS, which exhibited at the PGA Merchandise Show & Convention in January in Orlando, Fla., is available for purchase at select locations throughout the U.S. and elsewhere, and on the company Web site.
