Fun and exciting are not often used to describe practicing golf. That’s about to change. TopGolf Learning Centers use radio frequency (RF) technology to transform your practice session into a point-scoring game played at a high tech driving range. 

Played with real clubs and premium golf balls, players hit into one of the range’s 10 scoring zones and get real-time feedback on their shots. The system also features target-practice games you can play solo or against others. The first US TopGolf range was built in Washington, DC, last summer; swingers in Chicago and Dallas can log on and tee off later this year. 

RF technology is also being introduced on the course to help find lost golf balls. RADAR GOLF System uses advanced electronics to enable the handheld to transmit a specific radio frequency (RF) signal. When this signal reaches RADAR GOLF Golf Balls , the ball returns a separate specific RF signal. The handheld receiver is tuned to “listen” for the signal from the ball. An LCD provides visual feedback and an audio tone allows you to hone in on your lost ball. You will receive stronger feedback as you get closer to your ball. The system has a range from 30 - 100 feet depending on the terrain.
