GREENSBORO, N.C. – The SkyTrak™ Personal Launch Monitor returns to next week’s Wyndham Championship, as does the SkyTrak™ hole-in-one challenge, the tournament announced today. Tournament week at the Wyndham begins Monday at Sedgefield Country Club.
The SkyTrak™ hole-in-one challenge at the Wyndham Championship will be located in the SkyTrak expo on the tournament’s Expo Row on Forsyth Drive near Sedgefield’s main putting green. Tournament patrons will have the opportunity to compete for prizes; one weekly winner will receive a SkyTrack Personal Launch Monitor with the “Play and Improve” software package.
Daily winners will receive Taylor Made golf equipment, golf balls or Wyndham Championship apparel from Ralph Lauren. The SkyTrak hole-in-one challenge begins Tuesday of tournament week and will feature a digital scoreboard, keeping track of the daily and weekly competitions.
“We’re proud to support our local PGA TOUR event and are excited to share SkyTrak with the Wyndham Championship patrons,” said Andy Allen, SportTrak Managing Director of Golf.
SkyTrak™, produced by SportTrak LLC in Winston-Salem, N.C., is the first personal launch monitor of its kind; SkyTrak is a realistic, real-time golf practice and play system which connects wirelessly to your mobile device or PC, then accurately captures and displays launch data and ball flight as soon as the ball is hit. The system provides instant feedback as well as the flexibility and freedom to practice and play virtually in different environments.
