Course Owners - Are You Interested In Setting Up A GolfCross^® Course?

For the general information about GolfCross^® as a game and product we suggest you have a browse through the main web site to get a basic understanding of what GolfCross^® is all about before reading any further.

To take the best advantage of increasing your revenue and profits at your course, incorporate GolfCross^® within your existing set-up by installing 6, 9 or for best returns 18 yards and goals adjacent to your current greens or within the surrounding areas. As the goals are an aerial target the yards in which they are sited do not require a high quality or even flat area of ground so you will be very surprised how they can be integrated on even the tightest courses.

It's this flexibility that makes a GolfCross^® course so simple and economical to establish and, if required, alter regularly to keep a continuing and evolving challenge for GolfCross^® players. There are no expensive greens to construct and maintain, surrounding areas only need to be mown low enough to ensure that the ball can be seen, this means a GolfCross^® yard can be sited almost anywhere, even temporarily, with minimal effect on the environment. Additionally, the course can be easily altered by reshaping the yard and the facing position of the goal; these two variables alone provide a rich array of strategic options with which to challenge the player. Better still, because the goals are readily shifted and the yards quickly reshaped, you are able to take risks and experiment with unconventional layouts, knowing that they can be easily changed back if required.

Detailed below are some of the many reasons why you should consider taking up GolfCross^® as an integral or independent set-up within your current complex.

Why do I need GolfCross^® ?

Just 4 of the threats to the traditional game of golf and subsequently the course owner's ability to keep their heads above water today are;

1. The reduced number of players spreading across the increased amount of courses.
   Courses need to continually evolve to stay ahead of local competition and find a 'Unique Advantage' over their competitors, GolfCross^® can bring this aspect to your course.
   
   GolfCross^® has five main criteria of promotion to players and non players alike;
   
   d. The basic game is clearly the one promoted to golf novices, new players and current hi-handicap players who are struggling or 'hacking' around the golf course. Due to the oval GolfCross^® ball being slightly larger and that every shot is taken from the tee cup the ease of hitting the ball cleanly especially on the fairway is of enormous benefit to the beginner (as well as to the course, as taking divots is very rare). As the ball is virtually impossible to slice or hook players will have the advantage of hitting cleaner, straighter shots at a far higher percentage than trying to hit a round ball off the ground. Most regular golfers have partners, friends and children they would love to play golf with, but due to the 3rd parties un-willingness to go out, feel embarrassed and be devastated by having a poor round, as they experienced from their one and only time, they just tend to never play again or just keep trying once a year after they have forgotten how bad their 1st time was.
   
   The main emphasis for promotion of 'the basic game' is through the golf clubs current members and visitors, encouraging them to bring these people along with the added benefit that they can all play together and even compete against each other even though they can be playing golf while the others are playing GolfCross^® (where both courses are combined).

   Secondary players will certainly come from central promotion from GolfCross^® Limited via advertisements, sponsorships and promotions, and players will also come via 3rd party sales of GolfCross^® product.
   
   e. The tactical game is only discovered after playing GolfCross^® . Its an endless amount of golf course owners and pro's who come along to investigate GolfCross^® for the 'basic game' to set-up on their golf course, only to finish the day raving about the 'tactical game'. Due to the oval GolfCross^® ball being so versatile in its flight patterns and with the rules of the game meaning the goal can be turned against the opposing player, even top golf pro's have admitted they have been caught by the bug which is GolfCross^®.
   
   Playing an oval GolfCross^® ball requires only one stroke, a clean hit, most beginners through to good players can achieve this even if they do end up putting a huge amount of spin on the ball, which with a round ball would end up in a hook or slice, but as you already know, in GolfCross^® will end up with a perfectly straight shot. All flight patterns required from controlled hooks and slices, stopping the ball dead on landing, bringing the ball backwards and even achieving the 'snake shot' can be achieved as simply as the right ball positioning on the tee cup.
   
   In GolfCross^® , although a certain amount of skill is taken away from the use of the club (which generally only pro's or single handicappers can do anyway), its certainly made up for in the thinking required to position the ball to gain the best flight pattern and also for correct club selection, that's why we say:
   
   GolfCross^® is "The game that lets you play like a pro, but demands that you think like one too"
   
   f. The 1-hour game. A huge threat to golf is the reducing amount of availability people have to allow for their leisure time; longer hours, more responsibilities, more stress, this is the 'norm' in today's world. One of the options GolfCross^® can tailor on specific courses is a 6 goal set-up which allows the game to be completed in approximately 1 hour allowing people to get a game in before or after work, or even at lunchtime. Yes, people could just go out and play 6 holes, but generally they wont because golf is a traditional established game of 9 or 18 holes whereas GolfCross^® is new and an innovative and 6 goal courses will be part of the original structure.
   
   g. Society golf; what is society golf? Groups of people out to enjoy a great day on the course usually playing a morning warm up of 'Texas scramble', 'greensomes', 'the yellow ball competition' etc. etc. then on to finish the day with a 'semi-serious' individual's competition. Societies dream of finding new and exciting fun games for the morning warm-up, what better position could a golf / GolfCross^® course owner be in regarding offering this unique opportunity to societies, and who knows, maybe they will all fall in love with the game and come back just to play GolfCross^®.
   
   h. Corporate golf days. Companies spend many thousands of pounds with corporate event organisers to help them find unique and fun events for their customers. GolfCross^® can give you this competitive edge over your competition and after a Company has enjoyed a day at your course hopefully they will return to hold their golf days too which most companies also provide once or twice a year.

2. The rising cost of playing it.
   The huge capital investment made to construct or buy a course and the cost necessary to maintain it, translate into green frees which are pricing the sport out of the reach beginners and the young players it needs to attract. Your infrastructure, set-up and overhead is already in place and as long as its well managed and the players are readily available, a good profit is achieved. So why not now consider making the most of your current situation and look to bring in more profit from your huge overhead by utilising a new channel of income that's not going to pro-rata increase your current cost base.
   
   GolfCross^®, with its low development and maintenance costs, will help to provide a completely new revenue stream working off the back of your current infrastructure returning far higher percentage profit returns and also give you the opportunity to bring to those less able to afford the price of a round of golf, another way of playing 'The great game'.

3. Weather conditions affecting the ability to play your course throughout the year.
   All year round play, all year round revenue. As GolfCross^® goals are aerial targets and the oval GolfCross^® ball is played from a tee cup with every shot, weather conditions very rarely affect the game. There's nothing more golfers detest than 'winter greens', wet or frozen fairways and puddles on greens; these are not an issue playing GolfCross^®. If you have issues in certain months where you end up closing your course, GolfCross^® can be a godsend.
   
   
4. Course maintenance costs.
   The only real maintenance required on a GolfCross^® course is to occasionally cut the grass in and around the yard. This can be completed with a basic mower, as the inner and outer yard only needs to be of near fairway quality. This means that the additional revenue from GolfCross^® will not mean a pro-rata increase in course maintenance costs.
   
   Long term 'Licensed Territories' are being issued now, make certain you don't miss out on what is becoming a revolution in golf that will give your course a unique competitive edge over your local competition and ensure your club is seen as proactive, innovative and individual.
