Comments from PGA TOUR Partners Club members included: “This software is a steal at $20. You can locate golf courses anywhere in North America in just seconds and receive all the information you need to determine if you want to play there,” said Gregory Alexander. According to Joe Freiburger, “This product is a great planning tool before your trip. It allows you to see different courses in mere seconds with a click of a mouse. It is very easy to use and takes no time at all to learn how to navigate to different courses. It is also extremely fast. I have currently used it to plan two different golf trips.”
“We’re very pleased to receive the prestigious PGA Tour Partners Club Member-Tested Seal of Approval from the PGA TOUR Partners Club members who evaluated our mapping product,” said Keith Kreft, President, Never-Search, Inc. “We’ve always known that this is the best travel and trip planning software on the market, and now we have unbiased results to back up our claim.”
PGA TOUR Partners Club member, Clarence Ey stated, “The software provides fantastic course information. We have traveled through all 49 states in our motorhome, playing golf as often as possible. Of course, we had to rely on golf manuals and campground personnel to direct us to and provide us information about the local courses where we stopped. It is a shame we never had the Never Search software because it does provide the latest and greatest golf course data for everywhere in the U.S.”
“I would recommend this software to all members,” added David Hurley. “It helps you find anything in an area that you are going to visit. Lodging, dining, directions, and all in one place. Great value for the money.” According to Elwin Holmes, “This program is the “cats meow” what a great idea, every golfer including pros should have this. If you go anywhere for vacation you need to take this along loaded into your laptop.”
Never-Search for Golf is a robust, PC-based, software mapping application that includes every street in the U.S. and Canada, and when connected to the Internet, it acts as a virtual website to plan trips, make reservations, and save locations and notes on places you’re planning to visit. You can then view your travel plans, routes and all other points of interest on your laptop while traveling unconnected from the Internet. Add a GPS receiver (G-mouse) and turn your laptop into a navigation system to follow your route with ease. All points of interest locations are mapped with unparalleled accuracy and are easily updated from the Never-Search website. Clicking on any flag on the map opens an information box displaying a profile of the location.
The Never-Search for Golf travel and trip planning software includes all golf courses in the nation with detailed information on each, along with driving ranges, golf stores and 9,000 golf instructors; all accurately mapped. Golf course information includes type of course, number of holes, par, yardage, slope and rating, greens fee range, course designer, Golf Digest ratings, driving range availability, and more. Contact information includes phone numbers and website links. The map can be used to easily and effortlessly plan golf trips for business and leisure, and includes other locations that are of interest to travelers such as airports, lodging, coffee shops, restaurants, RV parks, and campgrounds.
Users can download the product from the Never-Search website or order a DVD if they prefer that installation method. “95% of our customers have opted for the Internet download path,” said Kreft, “As you might imagine, an application containing over 6 million miles of roads is on the larger size, and some vehicle manufacturers actually require as many as 12 CD’s to update their in-vehicle navigation systems. Hence, we developed a unique, Internet downloading scheme, which runs in the background so you can continue to do other work on your personal computer while waiting for it to finish. The program is downloaded in segments, so if interrupted, captured segments are saved. The download can then be restarted at any time from a Never-Search desktop icon, resuming where it left off. It’s very clever, and it beats waiting 3 days for a mailed DVD to be delivered.”
Once a user has registered and downloaded the latest travel data, the software works with or without an Internet connection. The purchase price includes free updates of all the data for one year. The company offers a 30-day, money back guarantee. Both the personal and business editions are available fromwww.Never-Search.com. The Never-Search for Golf Personal Edition subscription price is $19.95. The Business Edition annual subscription price ranges from $99.00 – $495.00.
