RadarGolf On Track with Findable Golf Ball System
Tuesday January 20, 2004
LOS ALTOS, Calif., Jan. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- RadarGolf
Inc. announced today that the company's October launch has
generated strong interest among consumers, the press and
others in the industry. "Golfers tell us they see our
system for finding golf balls as a way to improve their
score rapidly and get more satisfaction and enjoyment from
the game," said Steve Harari, CEO of RadarGolf. "By
minimizing lost ball penalties, we estimate that the average
golfer will improve per-round scores by an average of two
to four strokes. Golf course operators and manufacturers
also stand to gain from a faster pace of play and more total
rounds played."
The RadarGolf system consists of a U.S. Golf Association-conforming
golf ball that contains the RadarGolf radio-frequency "tag"
and a compact handheld device that attaches to a golf bag.
The handheld unit "beeps" when pointed at the
ball and is effective at a distance of 40 to 125 feet. The
tag is extremely small and is built into the ball at the
time of manufacture; it can be included in any commercial
golf ball.
Patti Hayes, an advisor to RadarGolf, said, "I have
met with representatives of the leading manufacturers of
golf balls, and they see a great deal of opportunity with
this product." Hayes, a former professional golfer
and owner of a large retail golf store, is a golf industry
consultant and women's high school golf coach. "With
my high school players, I've seen first-hand Why RadarGolf?
of losing balls in the fairway because of heavy leaf coverage
in the fall. I think golfers will be thrilled with the product."
Harari said the company is in discussions with golf ball
manufacturers to license and distribute the RadarGolf products
in North America, Asia and Europe. Harari and other RadarGolf representatives will attend the PGA Merchandise Show
next week in Orlando, Fla. Anyone wishing to meet with the
company should contact Harari at 650-949-1317 or harari@RadarGolf.com.
