(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 – announced today that Richard Spitz, Global Managing Director of Korn/Ferry International’s Technology Market has joined its new Strategic Advisory Board.
In his role with Korn/Ferry, Spitz handles high-profile searches for senior executives on behalf of public corporations, as well as leading pre-IPO, emerging technology, software, hardware, electronic systems, information technology, communications and convergence media companies.

Spitz becomes the second member of ProLink’s Strategic Advisory Board, joining PGA TOUR veteran Brad Faxon. Once finalized, the Advisory Board will have up to six members from a variety of professional backgrounds. The board will meet regularly and provide the company expert advice on a range of topics to bolster ProLink’s industry-leading technology, golfer-friendly platform, customer support and internal operations.

“ProLink is poised for impressive growth in both global system and advertising sales. I’m honored to join the company’s Strategic Advisory Board at such an exciting time,” Spitz says. “Golf courses have realized that adding ProLink GPS to their facilities is a sound financial decision, and I look forward to helping the company further enhance its status as the industry leader in management solutions.”
Adds Lawrence D. Bain, CEO of ProLink Solutions: “We’re thrilled to welcome Richard to ProLink’s Strategic Advisory Board. His wide base of knowledge across a multitude of business categories will be extremely valuable as we develop new ways to keep ProLink on the cutting edge of technology and support.”
