How Drones are Helping Golf Courses appeal to Millennials?
In the last 10 years, technology has been a major impact for change in all industries. In sports, we've seen the rise of fabrics that enhance performance, wearable devices to track fitness, video refereeing, and many more applications. It is fair to say, technology is changing the way sports are played.
There is one sport that has seen a significant improvement of play from technology, that's Golf. Golf technology has not only been helping the player understand the course, but the course to understand its maintenance. Some of this technology is commonly known as range finders, club technology, swing analysis, and golf simulators.
Aerial Coverage, a Detroit based drone company, has taken golf technology and now incorporated drones. With their advanced drone technology, they are offering multiple services to courses that not only benefit the golfer, but the course. It is a new way for golf courses and country clubs to differentiate themselves.
What are the drones doing on the course?
- Aerial Photography/Videography
- Hole by Hole Fly Overs
- Contour and Elevation Mapping
- Maintenance Progress Reports
- Irrigation Optimization
- Interactive 3-D Models
How do golf courses use that data and information?
Golf Courses and Country Clubs are experiencing a great benefit from their investment in drone services. Drone based data helps courses in numerous ways, from the marketing department to the maintenance crew. Golf courses are offering a better online presence through fly-over videos, implementing 3-D course tours through their app, improving re-design, tracking drainage, and much more.
