Hong Kong Jockey Club Install Full Swing Golf Simulators
Monday, 5th February 2007
Full Swing Golf (Asia) Ltd is pleased to confirm that the Hong Kong Jockey Club, in the very heart of Hong Kong, has placed an order for two Full Swing Golf simulators. This exclusive private members club of around 17,000 people is situated just a few hundred yards from the world famous Happy Valley Racecourse and boasts a wide range of facilities from fine dining to sports and relaxation in fantastic surroundings, all within easy reach of central Hong Kong.
After months of research, the Hong Kong Jockey Club selected Full Swing Golf as their preferred simulator technology, supplied, installed and maintained by Full Swing Golf (Asia) Ltd , the manufacturers main branch in the region.
The Jockey Club will provide their members, corporate clients and guests with an unparalleled range of golf facilities. The two Full Swing Golf simulators will provide PGA tuition, practice and play. On site video replay, swing capture and analysis systems will provide the very latest state of the art technology to video, compare, review and improve their members’ games.
In addition to the Full Swing Golf Hong Kong Simulators, members will be able to use the state of the art short game practice area, specifically designed for the improvement of this overlooked area of the game. The patented bent green design, on two different levels and surrounded by rough, can be used for lessons by the PGA Professional or independent practice sessions. The covered green can be used all year round and well into the night by way of the on-site flood lighting.
This form of green can be custom built to fit any area. The bent turf gives an incredibly accurate feel, exactly like real bent grass, ensuring the ball rolls just as it would on a true bent grass putting green. The surface can be used all year round, with zero maintenance. The cups have very sharp edges with no need to install in-ground cups. The fringe grass is also very realistic, and the artificial bunker will be strategically placed to ensure the safety of the users at all times. You can have a combination of full size flags for bunker and chipping, and practice size flags for putting.
All of this combined means that the Hong Kong Golf Jockey Club members will have the use of one of the most advanced artificial short game areas available. This will hugely enhance the ability to offer lessons at the Jockey Club. Not only will long game lessons be available on the Full Swing Golf Simulators, but we can expand the range of coaching services available by including detailed, structured short game lessons and clinics. The all round service and lessons available to the members will be greatly enhanced with the inclusion of the chipping area and putting green.
