MELBOURNE, Australia. (July 19, 2006) – SureShot GPS, a handheld golf course measuring device with enhanced qualities, has joined forces with Golf Plus, Ltd., Europe’s leading developer and distributor of satellite GPS golf equipment, in a distribution and manufacturing agreement which will accelerate the penetration and growth of GPS technology within golf the world over. Golf Plus, Ltd., will manufacture SureShot GPS on a worldwide basis and distribute it throughout the United Kingdom, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Bringing the two companies together has increased substantially the number of mapped courses available, with over 1,000 in the UK alone. The new partnership will mean GPS technology can be accessed and utilized by golfers in all corners of the globe.
"We are excited about this new partnership, which not only will facilitate our production and worldwide distribution processes, but also now will place us on a truly global scale," said Simon Webb, cofounder of Tee2Green Technologies. "We have chosen this means of expansion to meet the rapidly growing demand for SureShot GPS in the U.S. and around the world."
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. The device can depict measurements in either yards or meters, making it applicable on golf courses the world over.
Golf Plus Ltd, part of the Walters Group of companies, a fast-growing electronics manufacturer with facilities in England and China, brings considerable manufacturing and distribution expertise to support the technically-advanced SureShot GPS handheld unit.
Andrew Walters, Golf Plus Sales and Marketing Director, said, "The synergies within the two companies made this joint enterprise a logical yet exciting development for all those involved. Our combined expertise in manufacturing, distribution and marketing will allow us to dominate the world market in GPS-based golf products."
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 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. Many golfers, both amateur and professional, already have discovered the exceptional qualities and ease of use which SureShot GPS offers.
Golf Plus, Ltd., also manufactures and distributes a range of in-cart GPS course guidance systems that are being employed by forward-looking courses across Europe, USA and the Middle East to enhance the golfing experience.
