PGA of America Selects V1 Golf

The company’s most recent product development, V1 Golf, has been officially endorsed by the PGA of America and is used exclusively at the PGA Learning Center in Port St. Lucie, Florida.

V1 Golf now makes available to recreational golfers the same video analysis technology tour players have been using for years.
The software enables golfers to view their swing simultaneously from two different angles, compare their swing to a professional, or review improvements against previous footage.

With the ability to freeze the replay and step through frame-by-frame golfers can analyze their swing in great detail allowing them to identify faults simply and precisely on their own computer.

V1 Golf incorporates a coaching system to further assist golfers identify the underlying problems with their swing and prescribe corrective drills to address these faults. The product also offers in-depth educational and instruction content explaining the fundamental laws causing a particular ball flight, the shape of the golf swing, and the dynamics of a model golf swing.

A key component of V1 Golf’s learning effectiveness is the Internet Golf Academy (www.internetgolfacademy.com).  Now golfers can receive personalized instruction from PGA professionals via the Internet anytime, anywhere. The golfer simply uploads their swing to the Internet Golf Academy website where the coach they select provides analysis using a streaming video lesson with on-screen references and voice-over to explain the problem.   

Instructors on the Internet Golf Academy include the Harmons, David Leadbetter, Rick Smith, Dr Jim Suttie, and Jim Flick.

As part of its mission to “grow the game of golf by making it fun while making world class golf accessible to everyone”, the PGA of America developed the PGA Golf Club in Port St. Lucie, Florida.

In addition to providing championship golfing facilities, the PGA Golf Club incorporates PGA Village, (www.pgavillage.com) a residential community where golfers can purchase exclusive real estate. Complimenting PGA Village is the PGA Learning Center where golfers of all ability can experience the ultimate in golf instruction and practice facilities.
