Used as a personal tool, TOUCHMaster PRO™ for Golf provides state-of-the-art GPS (Global Positioning System) distance technology and contains a wide range of graphical, scoring, and statistical collection features, making it versatile for every level of golfer from the novice to the professional.

The onboard GPS capability enables the golfer to take TOUCHMaster PRO™ for Golf to any course in the world and begin using it immediately. There is no dependence on the golf course to provide any resources. The device is totally personalized and selfcontained and can be used anywhere with equally reliable results. Immediate access to the complete PGA rulebook as well as tips on playing shots under all conceivable conditions gives the golfer answers to the many questions often encountered on the course.

TOUCHMaster PRO™ for Golf is ergonomically designed to improve the golfer's game and speed up play on the course, allowing golfers to score their rounds at "the-touch-of-a-finger". The device is both fun and easy-to-use. Its small size as well as its weather-resistant and ruggedized features are perfectly suited for the rigors of the golf course or practical tee.

GRAPHICAL COURSE OVERVIEWS

Beginning at the first tee box, TOUCHMaster PRO™ for Golf displays a graphical overview of the hole, providing distance to the center of the green, fairway hazards, landmarks, and an elapsed timer to monitor pace of play. As the golfer moves down the fairway, the system displays the golfer's position in relation to defined markers on the course, allowing golfers to view the distance of their drive, distance remaining to the green, or distance to the next marker or hazzard. The golfer can obtain marker information for a given course from the company's website, or the device's versatility enables the golfer to build his/her own customized graphical representation of the course in real time.

ELECTRONIC SCORING & STATISTICS COLLECTION

The electronic scoring and statistics collection features require very little interaction from the golfer. Most is done automatically by the simple touch of a finger to the screen. The device can score and collect statistics for up to five players per round.

The innovative graphics display the hole number, par, handicap, player designation, club selections, number of putts, number of penalty strokes, greens and fairways in regulation, saves, sand-saves, ups/downs, chip-ins, and total score. This automatically adds the scores for each hole and displays the current scoring totals and statistics for holes played. The information collected belongs to the golfer - he/she can take it with them and use it to prepare statistical and game analysis reports which develops a personalized training program.

Combining the unique GPS and comprehensive statistical features, TOUCHMaster PRO™ for Golf learns the golfer's game. It gives helpful hints on club suggestion based on historical statistical information. This feature is automatically provided for every golfer in the device's database. Once a golfer plays one round with the TOUCHMaster PRO™ for Golf, the device will offer tips on club selection based on where the golfer is and the distance to the green or other markers on the course.
