• New facility allows Club’s 600 members to receive expert coaching all-year round
• Projection and AV display technology was used to create all-weather training facility
LONDON:ViewSonic Europe, a leading provider of AV display products in the UK, announces the installation of a state-of-the-art virtual indoor training facility at Newbury & Crookham Golf Club – one of the oldest established clubs in England.
Using a combination of high-powered projection and interactive touch-screen displays, ViewSonic has created an immersive indoor training facility for club members to practice their golf skills all year round - in multiple virtual locations - under the guidance of the Club’s resident golf club professional.
Two ViewSonic products were installed in the clubhouse which included the Pro8530HDL installation projector – which provides the immersive viewing experience on a large 4.5 metre screen – and a 65-inch ViewBoard interactive flat panel (IFP) which is now used for interactive assessment of players’ skills, including analysis of grip, swing, angle of impact, force and direction of play.
Barry Newman, Head Golf Professional at Newbury & Crookham Golf Club commented: “{{Our new indoor all-weather training facility shows our commitment to embracing the latest technology to help our members improve their game}}. What we have here is really unique and I enjoy the opportunity to use different locations to help add variety to my coaching and instruction.”
Tony White, AV Marketing Director at ViewSonic Europe said: “This project enabled the Club to realise the development of a fully-immersive and realistic indoor golf simulation experience, which has helped increase member attendance, engagement with the Club’s training programme and led to many positive reviews. Modern AV technology is a powerful tool for sporting venues looking to create engaging customer experiences.”
