GroundLinkx Introduces New Product at GIS
Littleton, Colorado – January 29, 2008 – At this week’s Golf Industry Show in Orlando, GroundLinkx will be unveiling a new generation in software tools for golf course management. Built on the company’s ten years of experience in the golf industry, CourseVision Web provides a Google Earth™ based interface for golf course managers, owners and operators that are looking to oversee their most important asset – the golf course.
CourseVision Web provides an instant visual reference and history of the golf course while assuring that golf course knowledge is consistently maintained, secure and communicated.
“Most everyone we have talked to in the golf business is familiar with Google Earth™ and has flown to their course to take a look,” said Rich Williamson a Partner at GroundLinkx. “Unfortunately, that is where it ended because the imagery was not clear enough nor were there any golf related functions within the product.”
To overcome these limitations, CourseVision Web adds a high resolution GPS corrected aerial photo of the golf course along with golf specific tools, calculations, views and data to the standard Google Earth™ offering. Williamson noted, “We are providing a powerful set of tools for a golf course manager and wrapping it in the intuitive interface of Google Earth™. This combination of simplicity of navigation and visual accuracy has resulted in early product interest from several multi-course operators.”
CourseVision Web joins a growing family of CourseVision products that all provide a highly visual toolset for specific facets of the golf operation including:
CourseVision Desktop – The most powerful software solution available for golf course superintendents looking for a stand-alone system installed on a PC.
CourseVision 3D – Provides 3D fly thru and free fly capabilities to golf courses. Used for club marketing and in renovation/restoration membership presentations.
CourseVision Tournament – The premier software package used by major golf event organizers for operational and logistical event planning.
Attendees of the show interested in seeing the premier of CourseVision Web can visit GroundLinkx in booth #2016 or in the New Product Showcase on the main hallway of the exhibit area at the Golf Industry Show.
