Renowned North Florida layout expands accurate, fun, affordable in-home golfing experience

(TRAVERSE CITY, MI) – Dancin’ Dogg Golf – maker of the OptiShot Infrared Simulator, the ultimate in-home virtual golf system – has expanded its library of premium courses with the addition of Ponte Vedra, a true-to-life replication of one of the world’s most celebrated championship venues.

Known for its distinctive and challenging layout, Ponte Vedra showcases the unique features of the par-72 masterpiece, perfectly capturing its beautiful and infamously demanding routing. Like the company’s other premium layouts – such as Old Scot, Monterey Classic and Whispering Dunes – Ponte Vedra can be downloaded at www.dancindogg.com for a one-time fee of $49.95.

“Every golfer wants to experience the courses on which their favorite PGA Tour stars compete, but most can’t actually play them in person,” says Brandon Theophilus, CEO of Dancin’ Dogg Golf. “With Ponte Vedra and our other replica layouts, men, women and children around the world can see how their games stack up.”

OptiShot (MSRP: $399) connects with Windows computers via a plug-and-play interface and requires only 8-½ feet of swing space. With their own clubs, up to four players per round can compete by hitting real balls, foam balls (provided) or no ball at all. Infrared sensors on a durable swing pad precisely record club-head speed, face angle, swing path, distance, tempo, face contact and ball flight.

Early this year, OptiShot was honored with the ScoreGolf “Research & Development” award and Dancin’ Dogg was nominated as “Company of the Year” in the magazine’s annual “Business & Equipment Awards.” The device received high marks for easy set-up, indoor versatility and amazingly accurate feedback. It was also lauded for its unbelievable fun factor, pre-loaded library of world-famous course replications and crystal-clear graphics.

More recently, Dancin’ Dogg launched its next-generation software package, including two new core courses and a variety of features to enhance the user experience and facilitate skills development. These include:

• Enhanced visual shot feedback and swing analysis
• Detailed statistics tracking for export to an Excel spreadsheet
• Precision putting grids to help visualize contours
• Ability to create multiple players and manage their settings and preferences

In addition to complete courses, OptiShot users can practice and compete on the par-3 option or a realistic driving range.
