Distributor Newsletter - July

Introduction

It’s hard to believe it's been almost six months since we were all celebrating our success at the 2018 PGA Merchandise Show together. Now, with summer well underway on this side of the equator, everyone in the corporate office is pushing hard on all fronts of product development, marketing, and sales to keep this year's incredible momentum going. This issue contains the latest news and updates from you, our International Teams, as well as from Foresight Sports HQ, including this month's full launch of FSX 2018 and FSX Mobile, and a sneak PEAK (yes, pun intended) at our new PEAK online educational platform.

International Updates

Foresight Sports Europe

We have some great news out of Foresight Sports Europe – with the ‘Three Lions’ beginning their World Cup Campaign in Russia, Foresight Sports Europe has provided the England soccer team with a GC2-powered canvas sim for use at their hotel in Russia. This has been shipped to the team for the duration of the tournament, and will be kept at their training facility in the UK afterward. Our European crew even included a cool startup screen featuring the Three Lions logo. What better way to keep the players entertained between matches?
Another fantastic initiative by the Foresight Sports Europe team! Check out the pics below.

Foresight Sports Southeast Asia

As shown by these photos of Asian Tour Professionals Arnond Vongvanij and Yanwei Liu from the Thailand Open, the GCQuad is gaining a lot of traction on the Asian Tour. We would like to recognize Foresight Sports Southeast Asia once again for continuing to put our game-changing technology in front of top players and the region's top golf broadcasters.

Foresight Sports HQ

On the heels of our partnership with the world's newest and most exciting entertainment range experience 'Drive Shack', we’re pleased to announce our latest pilot program, this time with Stadium Golf, one of San Diego's premier driving range facilities. Foresight Sports will be providing technology for the company's San Diego location, where customers will enjoy 10 bays of cutting-edge entertainment and performance analysis thanks to the integration of both our launch monitors and new Downrange Tracking System (DTS). As we see the industry pivoting more and more towards the entertainment experience, it's critical for our company to be a key technology provider and partner with existing organizations to make golf accessible to all. More details on this and other partnerships will be forthcoming soon!

Justin James

World Long Drive phenom Justin James has officially joined our Foresight Sports ambassador family! Justin took the World Long Drive Championship title in 2017, and turned to the GCQuad to continue honing his already extraordinary skills. Our latest ambassador recently visited Foresight Sports HQ for a tour of our production facilities and to hit a few shots in our simulation studio, which many of you saw on our social media feed. In turn, he took to his own social platform to once again praise the GCQuad. We're very excited to have Justin on board, and look forward to a great relationship ahead.

Summer Simulation Packages = Record Online Sales

As you may be aware, in June we ran a Starter Sim Package that included the GC2+HMT, FSX2018 software, and a sim-optimized laptop. Put simply, the response to this package has been overwhelming. In fact, this single promotion helped us achieve a new record in online sales, compelling us to extend the sale beyond our allotted inventory. Due to this unprecedented level of response, we’re now finalizing plans on a similar deal for the GCQuad. Like the previous promotion, this package will be available for your purchase at a discounted rate to ensure that your team can offer the same promotion in your markets.

Sneak PEAK

With our new PEAK online educational platform launching soon, we'd like to offer a preview of what users can expect when they access the platform. This new, consumer-focused learning site will be available to everyone that wants to know and understand their numbers – even if they don’t directly own a Foresight Sports launch monitor. The PEAK online educational platform is divided into two sections: a sales-focused front-end that outlines the platform's value for players, fitters, and instructors along with some free video tips and insight from our ambassadors on how they use Foresight Sports technology, as well as a subscription-based educational platform where users can earn their PEAK certifications. Users will also be able to participate in a moderated forum offering additional instruction, best practices, and insight from Director of Education Liam Mucklow and our team of renowned PEAK Ambassadors and Advisors. Check out the screenshots below for a first look.
