Marriott Golf, Faldo Golf Institute & Club Glove Kick-Off The Program With Great Offers For SkyCaddie Members
RIDGELAND, Miss., December 6, 2010…SkyGolf, pioneer of the GPS rangefinder category and developer of SkyCaddie®, the #1 Rangefinder in Golf, today announced the SkyCaddie Membership Benefits Plus Program. While SkyCaddie owners already enjoy the most reliable course maps available in the game, as well as advanced course management features when they become a SkyCaddie Member, the new Membership Benefits Plus Program will provide unique offers and opportunities to SkyCaddie’s large and growing Membership.
To help kick-off the Membership Benefits Plus Program, SkyGolf has aligned with leading golf companies, including Marriott Golf, Faldo Golf Institute and Club Glove, to offer SkyCaddie Members amazing discounts on rounds of golf, golf schools, equipment and much more. These valued partners, along with a stable of companies that will be joining the program in 2011, will bring SkyCaddie Members exclusive value-added opportunities that will further enhance their enjoyment of the game.
“We strive to provide golfers with the same reliable information a Tour Professional receives with their yardage book,” said Richard Edmonson, CEO, SkyGolf. “The SkyCaddie is not only the simplest and most powerful way to measure yardage, it is quickly becoming a gateway to everything about your game. Through SkyCaddie’s popular ClubSG, golfers are able to connect to their courses, their PGA Professional, their equipment and other golfers. Now, ClubSG, which has been growing Members at a pace of over 1,000 per day, has such Membership size and traffic that it is attracting amazing deals and offers from leading brand names in golf through its SkyCaddie Membership Benefits Plus Program.”
Edmonson adds, “While we are thrilled to kick-off the program with exclusive offers from Marriott Golf, Faldo Golf Institute and Club Glove, this is just the beginning and we have much more planned for our Members through the Membership Benefits Plus Program in 2011.”
SkyGolf is dedicated to providing amateur golfers with the same trusted, reliable distance information Tour Caddies depend on to help their Pro win tournaments. As a benefit to Membership, SkyCaddie Members get access to these TrueGround maps created by walking every course using survey grade equipment. As a result of SkyGolf’s mapping methodology, only SkyCaddie can provide invaluable approach shot information through advanced course management features like its patented IntelliGreen® and IntelliGreen® Pro.
By ground-mapping every course, only SkyGolf is able to rectify and correct errors and distortions that are common to aerial imagery and flyovers used in competitive devices. Owners of competitive rangefinders are quickly learning there is no way to verify the accuracy of a golf course image using satellite or aerial imagery – a location must be visited and every hole must be walked using sub-meter, survey grade GPS equipment. As a result, SkyCaddie is the only rangefinder that calculates distances solely from professionally surveyed and verified points on the golf course via its exclusive HoleVue™.
