Replica of famed English seaside links course added to 2011 Grand Slam collection
(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 Royal St. Marks, a true-to-life replication of one of the premier tests of links golf in the British Isles.
Joining the recently-introduced Capitol Club as part of Dancin’ Dogg’s 2011 Grand Slam collection, Royal St. Marks showcases the features of a picturesque layout which for nearly 120 years has been the site of major victories by golfing legends. These details include imposing dunes and an immediately recognizable bunker that is the deepest in championship golf.
“Royal St. Marks precisely captures every element inherent to playing this remarkable layout in real life, including Britain’s infamous weather conditions,” says Brandon Theophilus, CEO of Dancin’ Dogg Golf. “This means you’ll be able to test and improve your game from the comfort of home while facing the same challenges as golf’s best players.”
Similar to OptiShot’s other premium layouts – including Old Scot, Capitol Club, Monterey Classic, Whispering Dunes and Ponte Vedra – Royal St. Marks can be downloaded at www.dancindogg.com for a one-time fee of $49.95.
OptiShot (MSRP: $399.95) 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.
