GPS Tracking

Beginning with this mornings tee times at White Wing we will be asking golfers to carry small GPS tracking devices in their pockets.  These trackers will provide us data on golfer traffic patterns on the golf course.  Where are you driving on the fairways, what parts of the golf course are being used and which are not, which bunkers are really in play and other data.  The data is then overlaid on Google Earth providing very clear maps showing patterns on the course.  We will be collecting data on all courses during the month of August.  This project is being done in conjunction with the USGA who are assisting us and providing the trackers at no charge.  The results will be extremely useful as we move forward with refurbishing and upgrading the courses in the future.  We appreciate your participation and cooperation.
