The Gulf Coast Adds the Latest in GPS Technology to its Golf Package

NAPLES, Fla. (January 6, 2004) - Three championship golf courses, one great location. The Lely Resort is home to The Classics (private club), Flamingo Island and The Mustang (both public). Designed by some of the biggest names in golf - Gary Player, Robert Trent Jones, Sr. and Lee Trevino respectively. Set in paradise, it doesn't get any bigger or better than this - especially since the 54 holes just upgraded to the latest in GPS technology, which adds value, and an increased level of customer service to the Lely golf experience.

The ParView GPS System has resided on the golf carts at Lely for the past few years and has served as a golfers' amenity and course management tool, delivering a new and effective way to enjoy golf. Since donning ParView's first black & white system, Lely courses have adapted to the evolving technology ParView has provided over the years. Lely Resort has continuously upgraded right along with ParView's product developments and enhancements. The result is the latest and most efficient GPS System for golf course use.

The Lely courses are at the heart of the 50 plus golf courses in the SW Florida/Naples area, which boasts the highest ratio of courses per golfer anywhere in the country -another reason Lely finds the ParView GPS System so beneficial. Golf is big business and big recreation and these three courses have enjoyed the advantages that GPS technology offers including improved pace of play, increased food and beverage sales, the ability to track carts, send messages, customize management reports, display course promotions, local advertisements and more. The golfers' appreciation of this technology is influenced by features such as yardages, pro tips, hazard, landmark and pin locations, food and beverage ordering, cart ahead location, electronic scoring, live leader board, elapsed pace of play timer and communication with the pro shop. This information is displayed to the golfer on a 10.4 inch, in cart screen in full color graphics. It is easy to view and easy to use, as the majority of information is automatic and non-invasive to the golfer.

The Resort amenities and beautiful community make for a great attraction for visitors and residents. Two clubhouses, dining facilities, tennis courts, and a fitness center & spa round out this Florida golf oasis, offering the most comprehensive package of its kind on the Gulf Coast. The GPS upgrade is an example of the progressive efforts made by the resort to maintain the status as a pinnacle of golf's greatest facilities.
