XGolf now in play on land and sea
LOS ANGELES (March 26, 2013) – XGOLF Simulator (www.xgolfsimulator.com), a world-renowned technologically-advanced golf simulator, club-fitting and instructional system, has been selected by Seadrill Limited, a leading offshore deepwater drilling company, for use on eight drillships being supplied to Seadrill by shipbuilder Samsung Heavy Industries. The ships will be positioned in various locations worldwide, including the United States, Norway, West Africa and elsewhere. XGOLF already has been installed on several of the drillships, with additional installations being scheduled.
“We are thrilled to have been chosen to supply these ships’ entertainment rooms with XGOLF simulators,” said Joseph Huh, CEO of XGOLF. “Just like home builders and contractors propose XGOLF to their customers as their home-theatre system, now ship-interior companies also are recommending XGOLF.”
Among the many reasons XGOLF was selected to supply golf simulators to the drillships was the special anti-vibration brackets XGOLF developed for the application. XGOLF was the only company to pass the vibration testing fully.
In addition to drillships, a variety of other oceangoing craft can be fitted with XGOLF simulators, tailored to individualized requirements, including yachts, cruise ships and even aircraft carriers. Every XGOLF installation, whether on land or sea, can be customized according to the entity’s specific needs.

About XGOLF
Individual avid golfers, as well as instructors and club fitters, have discovered that XGOLF’s exclusive design, durability and cutting-edge technological features, as well as its superior graphics and exciting new capabilities, make it the most exceptional and innovative yet value-driven golf-simulator system. With unique features such as XPLATE (Variable Lie Positioning Plate) and XBALL (Intelligent Ball Teeing), the authenticity of XGOLF’s simulated golf is unparalleled, replicating real shots on the screen and providing the most realistic golf experience possible. As a leading technology provider, XGOLF has as its main mission to listen and innovate based on customers’ evolving needs and expectations.
The XPLATE Variable Lie Positioning System detects the ground slope and automatically adjusts the slope where a golfer stands to provide a more realistic experience. The slope also can be adjusted manually for practicing uphill, downhill and sidehill-lie shots.
The XBALL Intelligent Teeing System gathers the balls and puts one on the tee before every shot. During the game, it remembers each player’s tee-height setting, so that it feels as though a personal caddy has set the ball in place. This feature saves precious time and allows the player to concentrate on the game.
New XGOLF features recently introduced include:
• an all-new touch-screen display with user-friendly interface that allows for seamless training and video swing analysis;
• advanced graphics engine; enables more realistic graphics with field realism; flying bird, water reflection, trees and shadows;
• event mode with unlimited participants for Closest-to-the-Pin and Longest-Drive contests, as well as a Putting Challenge;
• addition of more worldwide, renowned premium golf courses.
The new features enhance even further XGOLF’s appeal for entertainment venues, home environments, restaurants, golf clubs and retail golf outlets.

The realism and beauty of the XGOLF playing experience is matched only by the accuracy and precision of its swing-analysis technology.
