MELBOURNE, Australia. (June 29, 2006) – SureShot GPS, a handheld golf course measuring device with enhanced qualities, has introduced its new state-of-the-art software, resulting in even greater features for golfers. The device’s exciting interface capability displays golf course information in full color with a system of legends and icons that is more complete and easier to read than ever before. Now golfers can raise the level of their performance as they play by way of heightened awareness of a golf course’s features and challenges. Current SureShot GPS owners will have the option to update their software automatically to take advantage of the new features, without any obsolescence to their units.
"The great new capability of SureShot GPS is that everyone worldwide can make use of the software update, so that golfers everywhere can enjoy their games with increased confidence and course knowledge," said Simon Webb, cofounder of Tee2Green Technologies, maker of SureShot GPS.
The new SureShot GPS software enhancements include: – the addition of many more hazard types, which will appear in both professionally-mapped and self-mapped golf courses; – the improvement of mapping points with the addition of a 10-second countdown timer and the display of hole number when mapping hazards; – the ability to pause in mid-round (for lunch after playing the front nine, for example) and then resuming play with uninterrupted SureShot GPS accessibility and stored game data; – a new up-down arrow feature indicating that additional hazards are available off screen that can be accessed with arrows; – a simplified and improved shot marking system, using arrows to show ball location and measured distance; – the default of SureShot GPS devices purchased for use in the U.S. to: measurement in yards, U.S. time notations and American word spellings. When traveling anywhere in the world, golfers and adjust their units for international measurement and time notations.
The SureShot GPS hazard legend now includes: – green – greenside bunker – water – dogleg left – dogleg right – dogleg run out – lateral water – bunker – rock – tree – bridge – other hazard – mound – layup
SureShot GPS, which recently expanded its distribution to over twenty countries worldwide, was developed last year by Tee2Green Technologies Pty, Ltd., and 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 or meters, making it applicable on golf courses 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 categorized 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.
