FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Everyone was buzzing about them and around on them at the PGA Demo Day and Merchandise Show last week in Orlando. They even caused a friendly jousting match between the hosts of the Grill Room on Golfchannel.com. It became very clear to the more than 7,000 golf pros and 42,000 industry attendees at the Show, January 26-29, why nothing rides like a Golf Skate Caddy – it simply puts pure joy and fun back into the game!
Golf Skate Caddy, the safest, most reliable stand up golf cart on the market, offers many features and benefits for golfers and golf facilities. The unit can speed up play by 50 percent for 18 holes and allows for six players per tee time providing more revenue. It is equipped with many safety features and offers variable speeds that make the cart easy to maneuver and control.
Younger and older golfers alike were jumping on Golf Skate Caddy during the show and experiencing how smooth and easy it is to ride. Here were a few reactions and comments:
“The acceleration is great and the turning radius is very good.”
“Nice and smooth, easy to control.”
“Extremely easy to navigate … 10 times easier than a Segway.”
“More maneuverable than other ones I’ve tried.”
“You burn more calories riding one during a round. That’s for me!”
“The umbrella is really cool.”
“Phenomenal – even for old guys like me, and I’m older than dirt.”
Golf Skate Caddy is equipped with the latest technology to allow users to play music and connect to their smart phones. With space for a single golf bag, a built-in cooler and cup-holder, the product adds a new element of fun, independence, and freedom for players of all ages.
“Last year at the PGA Show, golf pros and course operators were curious and intrigued about Golf Skate Caddy,” said Patrick Pires, Executive Vice President Golf Skate Caddy. “This year they were excited, knowledgeable and purchasing units. The PGA Show was extremely successful for us.”
Golf Skate Caddy is golf course friendly providing less turf compaction than traditional carts. It speeds up play and provides a unique marketing draw over courses that don’t offer this fun amenity.
In addition, it is attracting new and younger players into the game much like snowboarding brought to the ski industry.
“Our members simply love it,” said Robert Parody, General Manager, Ocala Preserve, Ocala, Fla.
At a time when golf revenues are down and player development is critical to the industry, Golf Skate Caddy offers a solution whose time has come. It also provides mobility for aging golfers with injuries or joint issues while maintaining the independent nature of the game and pace of play.
“Our goal is to grow the game and make the game more fun for everyone,” said Pires.
