Full Swing is an industry leader in cutting edge sports simulator technology, providing an accurate and truly realistic indoor golf experience. Full Swing’s simulators, which use a Patented Dual Tracking Technology to produce realistic ball flight data, are found in the homes of major champions like Tiger Woods, Jason Day, Jim Furyk and Padraig Harrington and 2017 Champion Golfer of the Year, Jordan Spieth.
“When I bought a house in Dallas, I chose to install a Full Swing simulator in my new home,” said Spieth. “I’m a big fan of their technologies and wanted a practice solution at home that I can trust. When it’s time to work on my game, I can fire up my sim and get meaningful data and feedback. The Full Swing sim is the closest thing to being out on the course.”
ClubCorp and Full Swing leaders see this alliance as a great opportunity to give ClubCorp members an enhanced golfing experience across physical and digital platforms. Using Full Swing’s Patented Infrared Dual Tracking Technology, players can track their ball flight path as they hit, receiving real-time insights on speed, distance, angle and accuracy for a more interactive, gamified experience.
“Our alliance with ClubCorp signifies our commitment to giving people the opportunity to play golf year-round, and also revolutionize how ClubCorp members play both on and off the course,” said Jason Fierro, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Full Swing. “With more than 430,000 ClubCorp members across North America, we have an exciting opportunity to introduce and reinforce the great game among a massive audience and believe this is just the beginning of what Full Swing and ClubCorp can do together.”
