New Program Designed to Prevent Cart Theft, Enhance Golfer Safety and Course Maintenance
(CHANDLER, Ariz.) – ProLink Solutions – a wholly-owned subsidiary of ProLink Holdings Corp. (OTC BB: PLKH.OB) and the world’s leading provider of Global Positioning Satellite ("GPS") golf-course management systems and digital out-of-home on-course advertising – today introduces the SmartCart feature designed to prevent golf carts from entering restricted areas or leaving course property, eliminating theft while enhancing golfer safety and course conditions.
Exclusive to ProLink Solutions, SmartCart enables golf facilities with ProLink’s ProStar GPS system to detect when a cart has ventured off course grounds or into restricted areas on the course itself.
Should a cart enter a prohibited area, the ProLink screen first warns the driver to leave immediately while signaling clubhouse personnel of the violation. If the driver does not comply, the cart automatically shuts off and can’t be re-started by the driver.
With SmartCart, an invisible boundary is created around the course property, preventing golf cart theft. Inside the perimeter, the course operator can choose which parts of the course to restrict at any given time, such as environmentally sensitive areas, water hazards, fairways on cart-path-only days, ground-under-repair, out-of- bounds or sections where maintenance is being performed. This keeps golfers from entering potentially dangerous areas while protecting vulnerable wildlife, flora and turf.
SmartCart is the latest innovation introduced by ProLink, which recently unveiled a ticker scrolling up-to-the-minute sports scores across the bottom of its screens. ProLink also features ScoreCast, the most widely used tournament scoring software in the golf industry. In 2006, ProLink introduced real-time, remote capabilities to its ProStar and GameStar units that set the industry standard for service and reliability.
"The SmartCart feature helps courses protect one of their most valuable assets, their cart fleets, while potentially reducing accidents and enhancing course maintenance practices," says Lawrence D. Bain, CEO of ProLink Solutions. "The system is easy to implement, monitor and adjust as needed, giving course operators ultimate control over where carts can and can’t go. The introduction of SmartCart reinforces ProLink’s position as the industry leader in innovative, customer-based solutions and services and will be of great value to our golf course partners."
