ITINERATIONS TEES UP INNOVATIVE GOLF MANAGEMENT PRODUCT DESIGNED FOR GOLFERS
ToThePin Personal Pro Helps Golfers Improve Their Game
BOULDER, Colo. – October 23, 2003 - Itinerations today announced that it launched its ToThePin Personal Pro 2004, a new software product to the golf marketplace in North America. Itinerations has integrated Global Positioning Satellites (GPS) technology and its ToThePin Personal Pro software with the latest in emerging handheld technology, allowing golfers of all levels to improve their game faster and have more fun.
ToThePin Personal Pro 2004 takes the guesswork out of playing golf by providing exact distances to targets on the golf course – using a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) application that is simple and intuitive – thus enabling golfers to select the right club for each shot. No more hunting for sprinkler heads and stakes, or guessing distances to these markers. ToThePin Personal Pro will assist in club selection based on the golfers distance to key reference points and own personal data. The software will store all shots and has the ability to provide details on the accuracy and precision of each shot that can then be used off the course for game analysis.
While there are many GPS golf devices and scorecard applications on the market today, Itinerations is unique by offering golfers their own personal golf pro and caddy all in one. The product captures, uploads, and stores every round played in a personalized database via the Internet. Off the course, golfers access their database through the product website, www.tothepin.com, and utilize the analysis tools to review and improve their game. The website enables the golfer to analyze their game by providing a database for analysis and game improvement strategies. The golfer can view their overall club statistics: how many times each club was used, the minimum, maximum, and average yardage for each club, the accuracy and precision of each club and more.
"ToThePin Personal Pro is user friendly, the screens are intuitive and helpful,” said Mitch Galnick, general manager at Lake Valley Golf Club in Niwot, Colorado. “Not only does it give you accurate yardages, it allows you to track your tendencies, many of which would not be as apparent without it. Next to lessons it might be one of the best ways to improve your game. It's certainly as valuable as a new club would be."
"ToThePin Personal Pro brings golf to a new level that helps golfers improve their game,” said Mike Mitchell, co-founder of Itinerations. “With this product, golfers no longer need to take time and hunt for markers and estimate how far they are to the pin. They can play with correct yardage from any point on a golf course. This added with the ability to review and analyze their own personal data over the Internet helps focus their practice to take strokes off their game."
