Morning all,
This is a slightly different opportunity to usual but should be good fun. We have just started doing a little bit of work with a company called 60/60 golf. To keep a long story short, their simple idea is to try and make the driving range experience a little more fun by adding a genuine element of competition. They start by standardising driving ranges so they all have the same targets at the same distances. Customers then download the 60/60 golf app and there are a host of different 'courses' you can play as you hit balls on the range. Basically, each shot is hit to a different target and you score points for how close you get. The app then records your scores and your stats.
It is all a bit of fun, some of you may well have tried it - I tested it out a couple of weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. So, they are keen to introduce the GM forum to the idea and so we are going to host an event at Sandown Park range on Wednesday April 10th.
This date was selected as it is the day before the Masters kicks off and they are going to create some Augusta themed challenges. We will split everyone into teams of four (there will also be a GM staff team) and we will be offering some pretty good prizes at the end.
A couple of things... We only have spaces for 12. The event will start at 6.30pm and will be done and dusted by 9. We will be providing refreshments.
If you would like to be considered, please email me directly: neil_tappin@ipcmedia.com
One more thing, this obviously is a SE only opportunity. However, this was where 60/60 wanted it staged. If the evening proves to be a success we will try and set up a similar affair somewhere further north.
Thanks,
Neil
