WINTER PARK, Florida — PTE Golf is delighted to announce the addition of an exciting new product: the FLAGD, a GPS-based range measurement solution for golf course practice facilities.
Displaying the yardages of the flags on your driving range has never been easier. Unlike traditional rangefinders, which can be inaccurate due to human error or the device itself, the FLAGD system uses on GPS to determine the exact location and distance of your flags. You’ll never have to hear a complaint about inaccurate yardages on the practice facility again!
“The units are durable, waterproof, and certainly provide for more effective and accurate practice sessions,” says Rodney Wray, Director of Golf at Butler National Golf Club in Illinois. “Most importantly, our members and their guests love them.”
The FLAGD units update the traditional Sandwich Board yardage signs to the digital age, displaying the distances to the target locations on your range. The FLAGD system takes the cumbersome job of manually measuring yardages off of your staffs’ shoulders: each day, simply reset the unit with the push of a button after moving your hitting line, and your FLAGD will adjust the yardages accordingly.
FLAGD affixes to all popular range equipment. There are custom brackets available for bag-stands, apple crates, stand-alone posts, and more. FLAGD units use e-ink technology for their display so that even in direct sunlight, the unit can be clearly read without glare or shadows. The FLAGD is a touch-free solution—your guests will not have to touch the unit whatsoever. And, best of all, as with all of PTE Golf’s products, the unit can be customized with your club logo and/or range layout!
FLAGD is manufactured in the United States. The outer case is made from aircraft-grade aluminum for durability, and uses ultraviolet ink for the graphic overlays to prevent fading. The units are weather resistant and sealed with high-performance O-rings—whether it’s raining, snowing, or blisteringly sunny outside, your FLAGD system will still work perfectly!
“I’ve been wanting to create this device for years,” says CEO Matt Pollitt of the product. “Once I saw the FLAGD product in person, I knew it was exactly what our customers are looking for. We are excited to add this high-quality product to our existing line-up.”
The FLAGD system is incredibly user-friendly; after a short consultation with the set-up team, you’ll be an expert in no time. Operating the FLAGD device is as easy as pushing a button and letting the system take care of the rest! Why spend your valuable time measuring your yardages? FLAGD is here to revolutionize range measurement by taking the headache out of measuring yardages on your practice range.
