Golfers Can Now Access Same Greens Guides Professional Golfers Are Using To Aid Putting
SAN DIEGO, Calif. – StrackaLine,
using a 3-D laser scanner, has created professional greens guides for
Broadmoor Golf Club, one of the most acclaimed private clubs in the
Pacific Northwest, and Dormie Club, a consensus top 100 public course.
StrackaLine’s growing network of courses provides competitive
amateurs and recreational golfers with access to the same information
PGA Tour players are using to help improve their game.
StrackaLine collects millions of data point when it scans a green,
allowing it to digitally recreate a putting surface down to the
millimeter. The data collected is processed by the company’s hydrology
software that calculates water drainage flow from the highest points of
the green to the lowest, creating golf’s most accurate greens maps.
“Golfers who are serious about improving their ability to read greens
are flocking to StrackaLine,” said Jim Stracka, president of
StrackaLine. “Our greens guides are the game’s most detailed, and we are
delighted to welcome Broadmoor Golf Club and Dormie Club to the
StrackaLine team.”
Located in Seattle, Wash., Broadmoor, the host of the 2018 Pac 12
Championship, has tested the likes of Ben Hogan, Sam Snead, Arnold
Palmer, and Jack Nicklaus over the years. Dormie Club, designed by Bill
Coore and Ben Crenshaw, is one of the best courses in Pinehurst, N.C.,
and all of America.
StrackaLine scans courses for $1,500 and that includes 100 greens
guides for resale. The scanning process takes five hours to complete and
is unobtrusive to the golfer experience.
StrackaLine’s quality and accuracy have led to widespread adoption on
the PGA, LPGA and Web.com tours, in addition to their use by more than
300 Division I college teams.
The greens maps, which feature easy to read arrows, allow players to
view contour and fall lines, in addition to slope percentage, anywhere
on the green.
StrackaLine now has 700+ courses scanned, including some of the
nation's most prominent layouts. Use of the greens guides at the highest
levels of the game surged throughout 2017, and the company now counts
nearly every Division I golf program, including last year’s national
champions, among its users.
Professional usage has helped drive interest in the StrackaLine
Greens Guides, and the technology is just as valuable to "regular"
amateur golfers hoping to improve their score.
For golf course owners and operators, the technology can be used to
improve pace of play and help ensure quality course conditions.
StrackaLine offers hole location software that allows superintendents to
utilize a proprietary algorithm to help set hole locations.
StrackaLine will continue to add to its library of golf courses
throughout 2018. It takes just eight minutes to scan and capture an
entire green and the StrackaLine team can complete an 18-hole course and
practice green in five hours without disrupting play.
