VANCOUVER, British Columbia, - March 16, 2004
– Mayfair Lakes Golf and Country Club, British
Columbia’s world-class, 18-hole, Les Furber-designed
golf course in Richmond is kicking off the 2004 season with greater
fanfare than usual. The kick-off includes the launch of Inforemer,
the flagship product designed and developed by GPS Industries, Inc.
(GPSI - OTC BB: GPSN, Germany: Berlin and Frankfurt WKN#: 252179).
Mayfair Lakes is the first golf course in Canada to offer a full
management GPSI system.
“We are extremely pleased to offer this new
technology due to the tremendous benefits it brings to our members
and guests,” commented J.J. Belanger, General Manager
of Mayfair Lakes. “With Inforemer and 200 acres of
Wi-Fi coverage our members and guests can access the internet or
e-mail, order food & beverages to be delivered right to their
location, and get the latest scores via real-time sports ticker by
the use of wireless laptop or PDA anywhere on the course or in the
clubhouse. It’s truly
amazing.”
With the towering backdrop of the North Shore Mountains, Mayfair
Lakes offers country ambiance only 20 minutes away from downtown
Vancouver. The 6641-yard championship course challenges
golfers by virtue of the numerous lakes and waterways that need to
be navigated on 13 of its 18 holes - a perfect place to showcase
Inforemer’s brilliant color screen displays and all the
benefits it brings to the golfer’s experience.
GPS Industries is a leading developer and provider of global
positioning golf course and sports solutions who has introduced a
set of industry firsts in products and functionality this year. The
Inforemer is now positioned as a total business solution for course
managers, recognizing a paradigm shift in the industry and
shattering the perception of GPS primarily as a distance tool.
The company’s impressive array of product
enhancements includes the industry’s first color
handheld GPS mobile display unit. GPSI also recently announced a
real-time streaming media partnership with CBS Sportsline; the
industry’s most comprehensive tournament management and
leaderboard solution; and the introduction of
InforeZone™ Wi-Fi HotSpots. In addition,
GPSI is the industry’s only provider to offer a
mix-and-match solution including handheld and cart mounted GPS
units, and the only provider with multiple language
capabilities.
“Mayfair Lakes Golf Club is fast becoming a
world-class showcase for the Inforemer,” commented
Blake Ponuick, VP of Sales and Marketing for GPS
Industries. “We are exceedingly fortunate
to have Mayfair Lakes, J.J., and his team positioned geographically
close to our corporate offices. They are a joy to work with
– we couldn’t have picked a better
partnership.”
