TECHNOLOGY IS THE NEW DRIVER FOR GOLFERS AND COURSE OPERATORS
Club Car’s connectivity products in demand,
enhancing golf experience for all
AUGUSTA, GA (January 16, 2020) – As demand
rises among golfers and course operators
alike, innovative connected technology is
changing the game of golf. Built-in vehicle
entertainment and interactive tools are en-
hancing the entire golf experience by offering
video, streaming music and news; and rev-
enue-generating course and fleet manage-
ment information – all of which are driving
growth, enjoyment and efficiencies of the
game.
“Technology has changed the paradigm of
the golf experience from how it’s played
to how a course is managed,” said Mark
Wagner, president of Club Car, the global
leader in golf, consumer and utility vehicles.
“Connectivity has transcended the day-to-
day expectations of the average consumer
for immediate information availability and
has become a growing demand in the golf
world. Our Club Car portfolio of products are
helping courses refine their operations, and
providing real-time course information and
entertainment for a connected, comfortable
golfer experience.”
In line with this trend is the National Golf
Foundation’s data citing that today’s 24 mil-
lion golfers are rapidly adopting technol-
ogy. 91% of serious golfers have utilized
course-provided distance devices. 64 percent
of golfers are consuming instruction online,
77 percent are checking leaderboards, and
52 percent are streaming golf coverage.
As a result, golf clubs, courses and resorts
around the globe are installing more course
management technology like Visage Fleet
Management software and in-car entertain-
ment such as Shark Experience presented by
Verizon. Created through a partnership with
The Greg Norman Company and Verizon, it
leverages Verizon’s 4G LTE network and me-
dia assets to deliver a premier in-car course
entertainment system for Club Car.
