MELBOURNE, Australia (June 9, 2006) – SureShot GPS, a handheld golf course measuring device with enhanced qualities, has partnered with the National Golf Tour. NGT members who play in tournaments accumulate points now known as "SureShot GPS Performance Points." At every tournament, the SureShot GPS will be on display and demonstrated for players and gallery members, who then can purchase a unit on site. An increasing number of National Golf Tour players are using the SureShot GPS during competition.
"The SureShot GPS is becoming a tool of the trade for golfers," said Chris Carter, president of the Kenmore, Wash.,-based National Golf Tour, a developmental tour open to men and women of both amateur and professional status. "It’s like having your own caddie. We believe every tour player will want to benefit from having a SureShot GPS on the course during practice and play."
SureShot GPS 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. As featured on Adam Barr’s Business Report on The Golf Channel’s "Golf Central" on Memorial Day, SureShot GPS can depict measurements in both yards and meters, making it applicable on golf courses all over the world.
"We are pleased to partner with the National Golf Tour, as both professional and amateur players are discovering how SureShot GPS can enhance their game strategies," said Simon Webb, co-founder of SureShot GPS.
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 scoring as they play. 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.
