Power Tee Installs its Fourth Ryder Cup Venue at The Striking Le Golf National

    PONTE VEDRA, FL, August 23, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Power Tee, the World Leader in Golf Range Automation, proudly announces it has added another prestigious practice facility to its long list of installations. This stunning site marks the fourth Ryder Cup venue that Power Tee has automated and is the future European Home to the 2018 Ryder Cup - Le Golf National.

According to Sales Director for Power Tee Matt Foley, "Power Tee differentiates a facility with its first-rate appearance, quality, functionality and ease of use. It is not surprising another world class facility and future Ryder Cup venue like Le Golf National chose Power Tee."

The future Ryder Cup venue Le Golf National is located in the outskirts of Versailles just outside of Paris, France. It features the championship L'Albatros Golf Course, one of Europe's finest golf courses, which will be challenged by both the 2018 American and European Ryder Cup teams. The world-class driving range highlights its Power Tee installation.

The automated Power Tee system not only transforms a driving range into a first-class facility, it helps golfers get better and quicker. This is credited to the lack of interruptions between swings which simplifies the practice process. There is no re-gripping, bending over, or realignment, golfers just swing away receiving immediate feedback. In addition, golfers hit more balls which increases muscle memory and most importantly, hitting off a Power Tee system is fun.

This point in case was exemplified when the President of the French Golf Federation (ffgolf) Jean-Lou Charon told Foley that when the ffgolf board met after the installation they all went down to use the Power Tees and to a man they all enjoyed hitting balls. "Golf can be fun, should be fun and should be for everyone," Charon exclaimed.

"Le Golf National, the future home of the Ryder Cup, wanted to attract new clients to the driving range and having experienced Power Tee before, I knew what it brings, but I have to say that the results are astounding!" said Paul Armitage, the Director of Le Golf National. Customer Service Manager Philippe Pilato added, "Having worked here for 20-years I have not seen the range so busy."

In addition to the future Ryder Cup venue Le Golf National installation, the automated Power Tee systems have been installed at three other Ryder Cup venues, the Belfry in Sutton Coldfield, England, and Celtic Manor in the Resort City of Newport, Wales and Wentworth Club in Surrey, London, England. Each of these world re-known facilities boast the best of the best amenities which includes the Power Tee automated system.

The Power Tee automated teeing system elevates any and all practice facilities as it combines the finest synthetic hitting mats which prevent jarring with a teeing system with multiple tee heights which not only improves a golfer's swing but transforms an ordinary driving range into an extraordinary driving range.
