INTRODUCING PROSWING Kerikeri’s Premier Golf Simulator Facility
The golf community in Kerikeri has a new reason to celebrate with the opening of ProSwing, located at 13 General Gates Avenue, next to Scotts Electrical. This cutting-edge facility boasts four bays equipped with the latest in golf simulation technology, featuring the largest commercial screens available, measuring an impressive 5 meters by 3 meters for complete immersion. These advanced systems capture every detail of your swing, from driver to putter, providing precise data without the need for marked balls or clubs. ProSwing caters to all golfers, whether you’re an amateur, a pro, or simply enjoy a social game, offering an unparalleled experience regardless of the weather.
The inaugural event at ProSwing, the Titleist GT Club launch, was a resounding success. This event showcased the latest in golf technology and demonstrated ProSwing’s capabilities by putting their systems head-to-head against TrackMan. ProSwing’s simulators matched TrackMan’s data accuracy while offering a more user-friendly experience, eliminating the need for marked balls or clubs.
Started in October, ProSwing began hosting monthly tournaments and events with new courses and conditions. To make mornings even better, they are offering half-price sessions from 8 am to 10 am, and the facility stayed open late most nights. With no proper driving ranges in the Far North and frequent heavy rains, ProSwing was created to provide a reliable and enjoyable space for golfers to practice and play. Additionally, they have been building a bar and shop that will be opening soon, making ProSwing the ultimate destination for golf enthusiasts in the area. |

LOOKING TO BECOME A DESTINATION GOLF COURSE?
"NZMCD have put together an article around the joys of golf, interviewing people who travel around NZ in their RVs choosing their destination dependent on the golf course they want to play etc. They are also looking to put together a list of 8 Great Golf Courses everyone should experience.
There might be some advertising support to go with this feature on golf, and also a great opportunity to promote golf courses or any membership specials to the NZMCD audience." NZMCD audience is a lovely alignment for golf courses and the sport of golf and they are keen to hero golf in their January issue, even potentially with a golf course on the front cover if they can source a beautiful high res image which is suitable. For further information click on the image above and download the NZMCD Media Kit 2024 and/or contact Lisa, directly. |
