EZLinks
In partnership with GN Media, EZLinks has developed “Shark Key” – a new product that enables a seamless, cashless experience from course to clubhouse that is central to the Shark Experience platform. EZLinks Golf LLC produces industry-leading software and services to power the operations and marketing needs of the golf industry. Golfers will unlock Shark Experience with their Shark Key and enjoy cashless transactions for a “member-for-a-day” experience. Rolling out in 2018, golfers will be able to purchase food and beverage and real-time hole-in-one gaming from their golf cart without ever taking out their wallet.
Swing King
Swing King will be available through Shark Experience’s cashless “Shark Key” system at select courses in 2018 offering a fully automated hole-in-one contest that operates during every round. Located at over 215 courses in 23 states, Swing King creates significant new revenue opportunities for golf courses and provides golfers with added excitement, meaningful cash payouts for holes-in-one and an HD video of their ultimate golf experience. From public to private to resort, golfers can take a shot at a hole-in-one right from their golf car with no additional work or daily setup required from the facility.
Shot Tracer
Shot Tracer will be available via the Shark Experience app and fully integrated into the on-course platform in 2018. Shot Tracer is the fastest growing sports app in 20 countries around the world that features ball tracking for performance improvement and fun animations for social media sharing. Launched in 2016, Shot Tracer’s user-friendly design allows anyone with an iPhone or Android to record their swing or putt via the phone’s camera and track their ball flight, similar to radar tracking and those seen during professional golf broadcasts.
