-- Play at Pebble Beach and every golf course in the world without travelling -

    ZALTBOMMEL, Netherlands, Feb. 16 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ --
The Dutch Golf Simulator is breaking through
internationally.  ProTee United, the producer of the
simulator, introduced two new models at the largest golf
fair in the world in Orlando, which took place earlier.

    "The response to our simulator was huge,"
Dennis van Drie, President of ProTee United, says.
"Our goal was attracting new sales outlets and
clients.  This goal has been amply met. The international
breakthrough of our simulator is now a fact." 

    The latest generation of simulators manufactured by the
Dutch producer are very advanced and realistic.  Users have
the possibility to play golf at any location they wish,
using a virtual driving range or an 18 hole golf course,
which includes bunkers, trees and water obstacles.  Using
the Simulator, everybody is able to play golf on every
course in the world, so people can actually play at courses
like Augusta, Pebble Beach or the K Club in Ireland, where
the Ryder Cup will take place this year. 
   
    "Our product has been tested by many professional
golfers and famous long hitters.  The longest drive was 385
yards, and reached a club speed of 156 miles per
hour."

    What is the secret of the success of this Dutch Golf
Simulator? "In Orlando, it appeared that we are
distinctive regarding price, graphical performance (3D
engine), modular structure (we use separate components,
which are obtainable in any length, width, height and
colour) and the quantity of sensor measuring
systems."

    ProTee will launch a couple of add-ons this year:
Vertical Sensors (which measure the Club head attack angle,
the ball launch angle etc.) and special putting sensors.

    New applications

    The ProTee Golf Simulator is composed from different
modules.  The basis of the system is completed with two
extra options, the `ball tracking sensor' and the `vertical
club head attack angle sensor'.  In addition, many,
graphically improved, golf courses have been added.  This
offers the possibility to use the simulator for swing
analysis at a club fitting.  A combination of three sensor
systems makes ProTee's simulator a unique product
worldwide.
