16 June 2023 in the nine practice boxes at Aquation Golf: eighteen contestants are readying themselves to compete in a 18-hole competition with a warm-up session led by two pro players, Mr. Ryan Fenchman and Mr. Im Raehul. After three heated yet good-natured challenges ('duo scrambled game', 'longest drive', 'closest-to-pin'), prizes are handed over by Ms. Ban Sopheak, representative of the Cohiba Atmosphere/Pacific Cigar company, one of the numerous and prestigious sponsors [1].
[1] Sponsors: RAF Golf Co., Ltd | Island Center Point Resort | Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra Golf and Spa Resort | Cohiba Atmosphere Phnom Penh | The Pacific Cigar Co., Ltd | Ballantine's | Titleist | Aquation Restaurant.
The first major virtual tournament using exclusively the TrackMan course mode in Cambodia ended with cocktails offered by Ballantine's and a ritzy buffet catered by Aquation Restaurant. Some premium cigars were also lit up while the participants chatted about the event, along the line of “golf, friends, drinks and food, what else could you ask for?” They also expressed satisfaction at this more in-depth discovery of the TrackMan technology, which most them had never tried before.
To put it simply for the uninitiated (like the author of this post before researching the subject): TrackMan is a golf simulator. At Aquation Golf, the first and only venue to offer this technology in Cambodia, each practice boc is equipped with ©TrackManGolf swing-analyzing machines, monitors and HD cameras in order to extract the most accurate data of each of your shots.
With the assistance of instructors, it is quite easy - and fun! - to get comfortable with this launch monitor of choice for the top players around the world. Providing you with all the data you need, the system is intuitive, and seriously performance-enhancing. Unique radar capability and high-end optics feed you all the trustable data you need.
So now, just 'score low', 'keep it long and straight', 'don't putt from the rough', 'break 80 today', and if you have no idea of what the heck we're talking about, click here.
