(LINCOLN, NE) – Landscapes Golf Management and Swing King have expanded their partnership to conduct video-capture hole-in-one contests at even more LGM-managed golf courses across America in 2022.
The partnership is the largest of any multi-course operator nationwide and aligns with LGM’s first-mover reputation for innovative guest- and member-centric programming. Plans are for upwards of 30 LGM-managed properties to feature Swing King’s innovative system.
Through Swing King’s program, golfers of all abilities at LGM courses relish in the fun of attempting to ace Par-3 holes to win cash and other prizes. Their swings are captured by high-speed, fully automated cameras to validate holes-in-one, as well as closest-to-the-pin measurements, and provide highlights for sharing memorable moments. Contest entry fees often benefit local and national charities. Swing King plans to integrate additional wagers into the fun, immersive experiences.
“Programming is a key element to Landscapes Golf Management’s thesis and Swing King excites golfers with opportunities to cash in on holes-in-one that are arguably the greatest championship moments the sport provides,” says Tom Everett, President of Landscapes Golf Management. “The double dip here is that our courses generate meaningful incremental revenue for themselves and charities in the process”
“Landscapes Golf Management realizes injecting fun and entertainment through Swing King differentiates its courses from others down the street,” says Mike Jakob, CEO of Swing King. “In today’s era of green-grass golfers seeking the types of unique experiences on course that they demand in other parts of their lives, Swing King is more important than ever in courses’ line-up of activities.”
