Myrtle Beach Parkland Jewel Adds Bottom-Line Revenue with Advertising

(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 announces Black Bear Golf Club (North Myrtle Beach, S.C.) now features the ProLink Solutions GPS system used at many of the world’s most famous golf courses and plans to participate in ProLink’s exclusive national advertising opportunity.

Designed by Tom Jackson and notable for an absence of encroaching homes, Black Bear is a true parkland layout playing through coastal wetlands and forest. Water enters play often in the form of 23 finger lakes, but Black Bear’s wide fairways allow room for error. Still, the course is a stern test at 6,787 yards with a USGA Slope rating of 137 from the back tees. Black Bear is managed by Classic Golf Group and kept in pristine condition year-round.

“Black Bear poses its share of challenges from tee to green, so the ProLink GPS system is extremely helpful to our golfers,” says Patrick Wilkinson, General Manager at Black Bear Golf Club. “It’s also an excellent tool for management, speeding the flow of players around the course, boosting food-and-beverage sales, and adding dollars to our bottom line thanks to increased tournament play and advertising revenue.”

“Black Bear is a highly regarded course in America’s premier golf destination, and we are proud to call the club a trusted partner,” says Lawrence D. Bain, CEO of ProLink Solutions. “By delivering multiple benefits to golfers and course management, ProLink GPS has become a must-have for facilities looking to provide a great experience while enhancing operations. Significant ad revenues, generated by companies striving to connect with an affluent audience, make ProLink’s value proposition unrivaled.”

With ProLink’s patented, 10.4″ high-resolution color screen — the industry’s largest – Black Bear’s cart-mounted units display dynamic, easy-to-read graphics including distances to the pin and hazards, pro tips, pace-of-play timer and radial arc for cart-path-only holes. Golfers at Black Bear will also be able to order food and beverage items with a touch of a button on the ProLink screen.
