GULLANE, Scotland, July 21, 2013 – In ongoing efforts to enrich the experience of spectators at the Open Championships, TrackMan was selected to power three Tech Bays at the HSBC Golf Zone operated by Red Door Events throughout Open Championship week.
In the Tech Bays, spectators had the opportunity to experience TrackMan, the same technology that is used by the top players and coaches in the world, including 2013 US OPEN Champion Justin Rose, 2011 OPEN Champion Darren Clarke, Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter, and more. In using TrackMan’s Test Center feature, each patron had the opportunity to go through a benchmarking test and have their performance compared against the scores of the best players in the world.
TrackMan also captured model swings from players in this year’s Open Championship field on the range and broadcasted these images to a video wall located in the HSBC Golf Zone.
Tony Irving, Managing Director for Red Door Events, commented, “We chose TrackMan for the tech bays not only for the system’s accuracy and direct compare to Championship field players, but important to me was TrackMan’s reliability. We’re pushing thousands of patrons through the Golf Zone this week, and we knew TrackMan would be the best technology for the challenge. The fans were blown away by the opportunity and experience.”
Emanuel Frauenlob, Vice-President at TrackMan, summarized, “We are delighted to have been part of this very special tournament and fan experience. Providing average golfers the opportunity to compare themselves against the best players in the world provided excitement, insight, and appreciation!”
