 Greenhorn Creek Resort Offers Golf Cart
Solar Power Phone Charging
Angels Camp, CA (July 8, 2013) – Greenhorn Creek Resort becomes the first
golf course in the United States to provide solar-powered phone charging. With
the installation of ultra-slim solar panels mounted on top of golf carts, any
concern over an iPhone or Android losing power while playing golf is eliminated.
By taking advantage of this technological course amenity, golfers can now keep
their phones powered via a USB hub located on the golf cart dashboard. In
addition, the uploading of a free GPS App provides golfers with live course
location, interactive scoring and leader boards for tournament scoring.
“Having a golf cart with the ability to charge a phone while playing brings a whole
other dimension to the course,” says Allan Ramorini, PGA Head Professional at
Greenhorn Creek GC. “With so many players relying on smart phones, we now
have the ability to provide GPS and not kill your battery.”
This innovation has been developed by Cart Golf (www.cartgolfgps.net), based in
Salt Lake City, Utah, and allows golfers to remain electronically connected during
their entire round of golf while also benefitting from hole information and social
media links to instantly report a hole-in-one!
The use of technology to enhance a golfer’s experience at Greenhorn Creek
Resort is nothing new. Computerized monitoring of wind, temperature and solar
radiation information measures evaporation to inform the superintendent on
water needs to maintain the fairways and greens in top playing condition.
In addition, the three resident PGA instructors take advantage of high-speed
cameras and digital playback equipment to teach golfers by visualizing their
swing in stop action or slow motion.
