While the popularity of “off-course” forms of golf entertainment continue to keep pace with the traditional game, GolfNow today announced a pivotal new collaboration that will expand its world’s largest online tee-time marketplace to also offer the ability to book reservations with Trackman, the global leader in golf technology solutions across simulators, driving ranges and mobile outdoor practice.
Golfers across the country who are eagerly waiting out the winter for a chance to resume their golf games – or anyone, anywhere looking for an alternatively fun way to enjoy the game – need no longer wait. Through the partnership, GolfNow and Trackman are integrating their reservation technologies, which now will allow the millions of golfers who visit GolfNow’s tee time marketplace each day the opportunity to reserve a simulated round of golf, training session or fun golf game 24/7 at any of the 1,000-plus indoor and outdoor locations across North America using Trackman technology.
Within the simulator marketplace on GolfNow, users can filter their search to identify and reserve a date and time at Trackman simulators in their vicinity. Facilities using Trackman simulator technology will soon be identified on the website by a badge.
“GolfNow is all about helping grow the game by creating easy access to the game of golf in whatever form someone prefers,” said Todd Triplett, Senior Vice President, GolfNow. “Expanding our online golf reservations marketplace with the addition of Trackman, who is the clear leader in golf simulation for entertainment and training, is helping to fulfill that mission and giving our users a variety of options to enjoy the game.”
For more than 20 years, Trackman has been the leading developer of radar tracking technology for use in golf performance analysis and entertainment. Golf fans recognize Trackman as the can’t-miss graphic showing golf ball flight paths during most every televised golf tournament. Coaches, equipment manufacturers, club fitters and golf organizations worldwide rely on Trackman for the dynamic tools, data and support they need to succeed. The same technology that has been used by more than 1,000 tour players for their personal use is also available at simulator facilities and indoor franchises and many driving ranges serving the public. The Trackman Simulator provides an engaging experience through thrilling games, practice modules and more than 350 virtual golf courses anyone can play.
