Full Swing Golf Simulators at the Hong Kong Golf Show

Wednesday, 14th June 2006

The 2006 Hong Kong Golf Show, in its 4th year, once again proved to be a huge success for Full Swing Golf and Precision Golf & Leisure, the exclusive distributor for these incredible systems in the region. Over the 3 days of the Hong Kong show, thousands of golfers either witnessed or experienced the incredible accuracy and realism of our Full Swing Golf simulator: "The undisputed leader in golf simulation!"

PGL had one Full Swing Golf simulator on their stand at the state of the art Hong Kong convention and exhibition centre opposite the Grand Hyatt Hotel. A latest specification system running over 50 courses was used for a nearest the pin challenge with a chance to qualify each day for the grand final. A porsche, supplied by Jebson and co, was the ultimate prize.

From the moment the Hong Kong exhibition hall doors opened each morning, to well after the "official" closing time, the Full Swing Golf simulator was packed with golfers of all standards keen to take part and to experience the fun for themselves.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Full Swing system was once again (as at every show in Asia we support) the most popular feature on display, with constant queues, as players paid their money to our sponsored charity Orbis.

At the Precision Golf and Leisure stand we were inundated with enquiries regarding the supply and installation of Full Swing Golf simulators from around the Asia region, proving once again that interest in, and demand for Full Swing Golf simulators continues to grow rapidly. With more installations in the region in the coming months there has never been a better time to become part of the growing Asian indoor golf industry.

We would like to thank everyone who visited our stand, had a go on the Full Swing Golf simulators, took part in the nearest the pin competition, or simply stopped by to discuss their plans for these amazing systems. We would also like to thank Jebson and Co. and Orbis once again for their help and support of the nearest the pin competition.

We look forward to seeing you all again next year at the 5th Hong Kong Golf Show, where we will showcase exciting new additions to our Full Swing Golf systems.

Hong Kong Jockey Club Install Full Swing Golf Simulators

Monday, 5th February 2007

Full Swing Golf (Asia) Ltd is pleased to confirm that the Hong Kong Jockey Club, in the very heart of Hong Kong, has placed an order for two Full Swing Golf simulators. This exclusive private members club of around 17,000 people is situated just a few hundred yards from the world famous Happy Valley Racecourse and boasts a wide range of facilities from fine dining to sports and relaxation in fantastic surroundings, all within easy reach of central Hong Kong.

After months of research, the Hong Kong Jockey Club selected Full Swing Golf as their preferred simulator technology, supplied, installed and maintained by Full Swing Golf (Asia) Ltd , the manufacturers main branch in the region.

The Jockey Club will provide their members, corporate clients and guests with an unparalleled range of golf facilities. The two Full Swing Golf simulators will provide PGA tuition, practice and play. On site video replay, swing capture and analysis systems will provide the very latest state of the art technology to video, compare, review and improve their members' games.

In addition to the Full Swing Golf Hong Kong Simulators, members will be able to use the state of the art short game practice area, specifically designed for the improvement of this overlooked area of the game. The patented bent green design, on two different levels and surrounded by rough, can be used for lessons by the PGA Professional or independent practice sessions. The covered green can be used all year round and well into the night by way of the on-site flood lighting.

This form of green can be custom built to fit any area. The bent turf gives an incredibly accurate feel, exactly like real bent grass, ensuring the ball rolls just as it would on a true bent grass putting green. The surface can be used all year round, with zero maintenance. The cups have very sharp edges with no need to install in-ground cups. The fringe grass is also very realistic, and the artificial bunker will be strategically placed to ensure the safety of the users at all times. You can have a combination of full size flags for bunker and chipping, and practice size flags for putting.

All of this combined means that the Hong Kong Golf Jockey Club members will have the use of one of the most advanced artificial short game areas available. This will hugely enhance the ability to offer lessons at the Jockey Club. Not only will long game lessons be available on the Full Swing Golf Simulators, but we can expand the range of coaching services available by including detailed, structured short game lessons and clinics. The all round service and lessons available to the members will be greatly enhanced with the inclusion of the chipping area and putting green.

Hong Kong Cricket Club's Full Swing Golf Sims are upgraded

Monday, 5th February 2007

The Hong Kong Cricket Club, one of Asia's oldest clubs, has had its two existing Full Swing Golf Simulators brought up to current specification by Full Swing Golf Asia the Manufacturers distributor for this product in the region.

HKCC were one of the first clubs in Hong Kong golf to install Full Swing Golf Simulators. Having been used since their installation in 1997 the systems had fallen become a little untidy, with no maintenance or upgrades since their initial installation. The tracking systems still worked well, which is testament to the quality and long-term reliability of The Full Swing Golf product.

After a customer's initial outlay, it can be difficult for them to commit to further upgrades, as the additional cost can be a sensitive subject. FSG puts huge emphasis on good value and quality after sales service, with regular ongoing customer contact and support. This is something that FSG is fully committed to for existing and future Full Swing Golf Hong Kong owners and operators.

FSG worked closely with the management team at the HKCC and looked at various options for the refit program that would not only bring the systems up to current specification but also ensure the long term quality of the simulators through constant monitoring and maintenance schedules.

The simulators have now been through a total refit, with FSG upgrading everything except the infra-red tracking systems. Cosmetically we also removed the front valance from the simulators improving their appearance dramatically, and giving users the feeling of a much more open hitting area.

Since FSG's refit program usage levels have soared to approximately 10 hours per simulator per day. The systems are also well used for coaching including junior classes. As a result of our refit it is safe to say that the HKCC Golf Centre has become one of the most used and well maintained facilities at the Hong Kong Cricket Club.

The Kowloon Cricket Club have added a Full Swing Golf simulator to their club facilities, as part of a multi-million dollar refit.

Set in the heart of the Kowloon peninsula and surrounded by high rise buildings, KCC (as it is known locally), is readily accepted as one the premier golf clubs in Hong Kong.

KCC is set around a beautiful cricket field of lush green grass, which is used for a multitude of sports including soccer and field hockey. It is truly an oasis amidst the concrete skyline and the addition of the Full Swing Golf simulator to its already impressive range of facilities will only enhance this great venue. The club's emphasis on children is reflected in the dedicated areas for leisure, including a high-tech room for the young adults of the club.

The new Hong Kong Golf Centre is located in the 3rd floor of the new sports hall in a purpose built air-conditioned area. The Full Swing Golf simulator is equipped with the latest specification technology running LS Golf 3 with 50 Championship golf courses, online tournaments and benefiting from internet based remote diagnostics.

An on site golf professional has been retained to manage the golf program and to build the Junior Development classes for young members. The KCC have around 5,000 children and it is their aim to build a successful foundation for golfers of all ages.

KCC'S full time on-site PGA qualified professional has designed a range of lessons to suit all ages and abilities. The "Golf Audit" in particular has been well received, as while using the Full Swing simulator the pro systematically goes through the player's game, to identify their strengths and weaknesses. All of the innovative professionally-run courses are designed around the Full Swing Golf simulator which provide unbelievable accuracy and feel.

It is hoped that the Hong kong Golf Centre will soon be doubled in size with the addition of a second Full Swing Golf simulator to support the swelling ranks of new golfers that have already used the new system. We hope to add more simulators in the coming months to this amazing facility.

"The 9 Point Face Technology is designed to allow more shots hit across the clubface to perform as if they were struck in the center of the clubface.

Thin, Hot Face Design:
-A thin, hot face maximizes ball speed across the clubface for more consistent distance.

Fourteen Golf Hong Kong

IRVINE, CA – JANUARY 6, 2010 – FOURTEEN GOLF, recognized worldwide amongst top touring golf professionals as the foremost leading wedge designer and manufacturer, announced today that the company will reveal it’s new professionally inspired TC-910 Forged Irons at the 2010 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Florida.

These striking irons were initially developed for the touring professionals playing golf in Hong Kong. The goal was to design a clean cavity back iron that combines a lower CG and MOI with the classic forged feel.

According to FOURTEEN GOLF COO Marcy Kamoda, “The engineering team met their objective and more. These irons exceed the performance demands of our professionals but they are also forgiving enough to help the lower handicapped golfers.”

The traditionally shaped iron head is manufactured with soft Forged S20C steel and is slightly offset. Its compact head with precisely positioned CG and MOI provides exceptional workability for shaping any shot. In addition, the lowered CG height creates ideal spin rates for golfers with faster club head speeds. For maximum playability the design team employed a round wide sole.

The new TC-910 Forged Irons feature the company’s new trapezoid grooves. This distinctive sharply-edged trapezoidal groove undergoes a mirror-face milling process which precisely and carefully mills each groove for optimal spin.

The company spent years engineering a new trapezoidal shaped groove so the TC-910 Forged Irons as well as FOURTEEN GOLF’s total product line would be in compliance with the new groove regulations effective in 2010 for the professional tours and 2014 for amateurs and tournaments including golf in Hong Kong

The TC-910 Forged Iron set is offered in a #3 iron through pitching wedge. They are finished with an appealing Nickel chrome satin finish. For a low penetrating ball flight the TC-910 Forged Irons are built with a high-flex tour weighted Dynamic Gold Steel Shaft. These irons developed for the better player will be available in January of 2010. Suggested retail is $1,199.00. For retailers in your area visit the company website www.fourteengolf.com and click on retail locator.

If you are attending the 2010 PGA Merchandise Show, please visit the Equipment Testing Center, Hitting Bay #9, to personally demo the new TC-910 Forged Irons.

“We encourage all attendees to visit the FOURTEEN GOLF hitting bay. Not only will our new irons be showcased, our entire 2010 new product line will be available to test. Come out to feel what it is like to play equipment developed on Tour but available for all golfers,” added Kamoda.

FOURTEEN GOLF in Japan established itself in 1981 as a premier golf equipment design company. The highly successful venture developed exclusive designs for Titleist, Yamaha, Srixon (formerly Dunlop Japan), Wilson, PRGR, and many more. The original team was credited with developing the first hybrid iron and the highly popular “Citation” cavity iron by Power Bilt which was one of the most popular irons of the 1980s.
