TOPGOLF introduce new online golf game
Wednesday, September 1st, 2010
TopGolf, the unique sports entertainment complex that is more than just a driving range, has introduced an online version of one of their most popular games. Available at TopGolfTheGame.com, the online game allows players to select the power and accuracy of each shot while aiming for any of 10 targets. Like the real game it is based on, points are scored based on accuracy. In celebration of the new release, TopGolf will award prizes every week for the next six weeks to the top online scorers, redeemable at any of TopGolf’s six locations.
“This is a great way to get your TopGolf fix any time of the day or night, even if you can’t make it to one of our facilities. You can now play TopGolf from the convenience of your computer, 24 hours a day, seven days a week!” says Joe Vrankin, CEO of TopGolf. “It is easy, fun and just as addicting as our regular games.” According to Vrankin, there are plans to expand into other online areas, including the creation of Facebook and iPhone applications.
Founded in England in 1997, TopGolf opened its first U.S. location in Alexandria, Virginia in 2005, adding Chicago and Dallas in 2007. TopGolf is an entertainment facility that uses computer microchips embedded in regulation golf balls to create an interactive game for both the hard-core golfers and first-time golfers. The state of the art software, invented in Britain, includes a handful of computer assisted golf games where players get points by hitting targets. Open year round, each TopGolf facility is a sports entertainment complex complete with a restaurant, bar, executive lounge, full-service pro shop and dozens of technologically advanced golf tees.
