For viewers raised on the
interactivity of PlayStation and
X-Box, the revolutionary technology
employed by the PGA’s Shotlink
System virtually brings the reality of
professional golf into a viewer’s
living room. Vital information on
every shot, by every player, is now
instantly available in real-time during
tournament competition.

The technology’s developers enlisted The Sextant Group to transform the original concept into a working, functional, ergonomic solution. Creating this mobile computing, telecommunications and IT facility posed significant challenges, including the design of interior, operating and storage systems, plus special-use systems for items that were still in development. Custom on-board storage and recharging docks for over 200 laptops, specially-programmed PDA’s and field laser units had to be designed, as well as the implementation of an appropriate infrastructure to interface with both broadcast media and internet in real time.
