Local Course Revitalizes With Help From Above; ParView's GPS Technology Breaths New Life Into Carrollwood Golf Club
TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 14 - An all-inclusive Golf Club known for "having it all" adds cutting-edge technology to its list of amenities when they infuse their golf course with GPS (Global Positioning System).

Carrollwood is the place to be to do it all. The 27-hole championship golf course ventures through the fabulous community of Carrollwood Village. "We have a beautiful layout and the course is designed for the pleasure and enjoyment of golfers at any skill level," says Inga Addario, General Manager. "It has been our goal to enhance our members' experience here by reviving the facility and adding to the amenities; ParView's GPS system has definitely helped us achieve that," says John Blazer, Owner of Carrollwood Golf and Tennis Club. The whole family can find something to do at Carrollwood; the club has state-of-the-art swimming and tennis facilities as well. All of the facilities serve as hosts to many tournaments, competitions and events. Professional instruction is available for all of the activities at Carrollwood, so as not to leave anyone out. The club offers a casual, as well as formal dining experience, depending on the mood and the occasion, and the Pro Shop is well stocked with the finest quality of equipment and clothing. For more information or tee time reservations call (813) 961-1369.

"The management at Carrollwood is doing a great job at restoring their course and ParView is glad to be a part of that process," says Kevin Carpenter, National Sales Manager for ParView. Using satellite transmissions, ParView's technology provides accurate information to the golfers and course managers. ParView offers the largest color screen in the industry, optional hands-free operation, and numerous features. The GPS system brings graphical hole and green overviews, exact distancing, pro tips, scoring, a live tournament leader board, weather and safety messaging, two-way communication, and food and beverage ordering directly to the golfer via the GPS system installed on the golf cart. In addition, the video display screen is a unique medium through which to bring advertising and sponsorship opportunities. The system not only enhances the golfing experience for the golfers, but functions as a very sophisticated management tool, improving overall course operations efficiency and profitability.

Founded in 1995, ParView, Inc. is a privately owned company and has Corporate Headquarters in Sarasota, FL. Currently, there are 60 courses nationwide using ParView's GPS Course Management System(TM). ParView was named in Digital South as "One of the top 50 companies to watch" and its founder, David Chessler, was awarded the 1998 Young Entrepreneur for the state of Florida by the Small Business Administration. In 1999, Chessler was a finalist in Ernst and Young's Young Entrepreneur of the Year for the State of Florida. ParView also earned BoardRoom Magazine's 1999 Excellence Award for Advertising, Marketing, and Promotions.
