As part of the Inrange® practice experience, players can put their skills to
the test using a variety of exciting challenges. The newest and arguably
most popular to date, has been 'Nearest to Pin' - and Bushnell Golf are
stepping into the virtual world with Inrange®, offering all players
something to play for.
This kind of campaign has already been successfully launched in South
Africa - and with an impressive Inrange® footprint in the UK, and over
50,000 players registering a practice session each month in the region
alone - Bushnell Golf are incredibly excited to be part of this augmented
reality player experience.
Ben Davis, the Commercial Director for Bushnell Golf at YUMAX Golf, has
said: "The driving range space has seldom been seen as a competitive
space. But with the work Inrange® is doing, ranges can offer their
visitors a whole new experience, and we love that. The opportunity
to be part of a 'Nearest to Pin' competition across the UK was a
match made in heaven for our brand, and we cannot wait to see
how players respond to this new age revolution on the driving
range”
Bushnell Golf have first movers advantage in the UK with this kind of
project, as it is the first of its kind. Using augmented reality to allow brands
to engage with players in a way that is targeted, relevant and exciting to
players. And with other exciting challenger brands currently engaging
with Inrange®, the concept looks set to become something of ‘the norm’
in the near future.
Marketing Manager of Inrange®, Ian Blunt, has led the charge on
bringing innovation to Inrange® players and partners, and is excited to see
this project come to life.
"We encourage all players to try golf, the Inrange® way. What we
mean by that is doing something that they previously haven’t
before. With partnerships like this one with Bushnell Golf, we are
offering a Practice for Prizes model that has already proved
successful in other markets. It is all part of the 'Experience Range'
future we are creating - and there are a lot more ideas in the
pipeline.”
The Bushnell Golf Nearest to Pin competition will run over 2 months (August and
September) and is expected to keep bringing players back to the driving range to
get on the leaderboards - and there is talks of a one-day showdown event for the
players who top their respective leaderboards across the UK.
This is a very exciting time for the driving range space.
