The world's leading GPS golf cart system to add value to Australian golf
More golfers will be enjoying the experience of GPS in their golf carts and more clubs will be enjoying the profits to be made with the appointment of Pro-tech as the Australian agent for ProLink from the U.S.

Considered to be the best GPS system in the world, the ProLink system is used by more than 700 golf courses and has over 65% of the total market share.

"We are delighted to take on ProLink for Australia and we are confident of its success – it is a total win-win situation for both clubs and players," said Bill Rorke of Pro-tech.

Pro-tech is well known to the golfing community in Australia for its supply of products such as putting greens, teelines and practice nets.

"The good news for clubs is that ProLink can be cash positive from day one as we can complete the package with a very favourable financing agreement," said Bill.

ProLink provides hole-by-hole graphics on a non-intrusive, high-resolution colour monitor affixed to golf carts. They give golfers precise distances to targets and provide vibrant, easy-to-understand graphics of fairways, greens, hazards and other geographical features. The service is charged in addition to the round, allowing courses to make the ProLink GPS system a profit centre in its own right.

"It is particularly suited to courses with many first time users such as overseas tourists. It has been shown to speed up rounds by up to 30 minutes," said Bill.

"On the courses where it has been installed for some time, it has been shown to be the 3rd largest revenue-generating item to a course after green fees and cart rentals."

The increased revenue is not only generated by the fee charged for the system, but also by:
• adding up to four rounds per day from pace-of-play improvements,
• food-and-beverage sales from on-cart ordering
• on-screen advertising for local businesses and course merchandise, tournaments and memberships
• fewer personnel required to manage the course
• a competitive advantage to secure more golf rounds from new and repeat players
• simple and comprehensive tournament software which will also attract more tournaments to a course.

Critical to the success of the system is comprehensive training and Pro-tech will provide qualified technicians to assist with installation and on-going technical support 24/7 across Australia.

ProLink GPS systems also allow for quicker reaction to on-course medical emergencies.

"Through revenue generation, bottom-line savings and overall game-improvement and enjoyment features for golfers, ProLink GPS has become a critical marketing and management tool for private, resort and daily-fee courses overseas. We expect that this will quickly be the case here in Australia as well," concluded Bill.
