Topgolf Debuting New Game Technology at Orlando Opening this FridayORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Global sports entertainment leader Topgolf® opens the doors to its Orlando venue on Friday at 9 a.m. The new three level, 65,000-square-foot venue is the company's 36th location worldwide and first location to open with Toptracer technology. Made famous by televised broadcasts of Ryder Cup and The Open Championship on Golf Channel and NBC, Toptracer tracks the flight path of each golf ball hit and displays its path in video. Guests at Topgolf Orlando will see an instant replay of their golf shots on a HDTV screen in their hitting bay. Topgolf guests enjoy point-scoring golf games using microchipped balls that score themselves, showing players the accuracy and distance of their shots on a TV screen in their hitting bay. With Toptracer technology, Orlando players will now be able to receive additional feedback on their golf swing, including the ball's height, speed and distance. "The beauty of Topgolf is that you don't have to be a golfer to have fun – but the Toptracer technology adds a fresh element of interest and interaction that we believe will inspire a whole new appreciation for the game," said Topgolf Entertainment Group Chief Technology Officer Andrew Macaulay. "Playing at Topgolf Orlando will be like being a part of a video game come to life." Through the premium experience of play, food and music, Topgolf is inspiring people of all ages and skill levels – even non-golfers – to come together for playfulcompetition. The venues also feature an outstanding chef-driven menu, top-shelf drinks, big screen TVs and music in climate-controlled hitting bays for all-seasons comfort. Year-round programming includes events for kids and families, social leagues, golf tournaments, golf instruction and more. "As one of the world's top tourist destinations and golfing communities, Orlando is a flagship market that we are proud to invest in," said Topgolf Entertainment Group Co-Chairman and CEO Erik Anderson. "The Orlando opening and debut of in-venue Toptracer technology is an exciting milestone for Topgolf. We look forward to offering this community and its visitors a unique destination for interactive entertainment."
