VACAVILLE, Calif. – The Northern California Section of the PGA (NCPGA) and Mobiplex, Inc. announced a strategic relationship enabling NCPGA Professional golf instructors to provide remote coaching through the Mobicoach® application, resulting in potential for increased lesson revenue and deepening relationships with their students.
The Mobicoach solution, developed by Mobiplex, is the world’s premier platform for enabling live instruction from a remote location. Mobicoach is available for iPad and Android tablet users and can be downloaded from both the iOS app store as well as Google Play. With Mobicoach, golfers can take a high-quality, at-a-distance lesson from a PGA Golf Professional instructor anywhere in the world, in a comprehensive, convenient and cost effective manner. The application’s easy-to-use interface makes it possible for an instructor to interact with a student much like they would in person, using live and recorded video, two-way whiteboarding tools to visually explain concepts and drills, library comparisons and post-session review. The solution is implemented as a marketplace, enabling users to select from the very best NCPGA instructors, to schedule appointments and to pay securely for their instruction.
“We are extremely pleased to partner with the Northern California PGA Section to jointly deliver revolutionary new mobile coaching tools,” said Vijay Nadkarni, CEO of Mobiplex. “The PGA of America is on a mission that we share – to reach golfers with technology that they are comfortable using and to grow the game of golf for all demographics with an unprecedented level of instructional choice and convenience.”
“We are in an exciting time where golf – a game of history and tradition – is merging with modern day technology to attract new golfers and deepen relationships with existing golfers,” said Chris Thomas, Executive Director and COO, NCPGA. “People of all ages are embracing new technologies and integrating them into almost everything they do to enhance their experiences. Mobicoach will fit right in and enhance the game for this group of tech savvy golfers.”
“The Mobicoach platform takes golf coaching to a new level of interactive engagement, enabling coaches and students to schedule and conduct golf lessons remotely, from anywhere and at any time with real-time simultaneous voice, video and whiteboarding. We look forward to working with the PGA to help improve the skills of golfers and offer a way for instructors to significantly expand their businesses,” Nadkarni added.
