Shark Experience<\/a>, which is an innovative new golf technology that enhances the on-course experience.<\/p>\nWestin Kierland\u2019s Club Car golf cars will include high-definition touch-screen displays and built-in speakers with Bluetooth connectivity, and golfers will now be able to enjoy streaming music via Slacker Radio, live sports, highlights, news and entertainment, in addition to Greg Norman golf tips, dynamic yardage information and more. \u201cThe debut of the Shark Experience at our Kierland Golf Club is the realization of a challenge we put forth to our golf industry partners several years ago to change the trajectory of the game by addressing the concern that it \u2018takes too long to play,\u2019\u201d says Bruce Lange, managing director, The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa, in a press release. \u201cIt has always been a Westin Kierland contention that it\u2019s not the length of time it takes to play, but instead the amount of time to play the game competing with other golfer interests. Bringing music, video and eventually televised sporting events to the course allows the player to multi-task so they won\u2019t have to give up some of their favorite pastimes. We\u2019re proud to be on the cutting edge of changing the conversation about the game and very much looking forward to providing our players yet another unique Kierland experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Shark Experience will continue to evolve in 2018 and add features, such as hole-in-one technology, food and beverage ordering, Shot Tracer and more. \u201cThe golf industry has been starved for real innovation that encourages real change for real growth and we believe Shark Experience is the answer,\u201d says Greg Norman, in a press release. \u201cThis solution enhances the golfer experience and is customizable to each individual\u2019s preference \u2013 whether you are a Baby Boomer, Millennial or Gen Z, Shark Experience has something to keep you entertained, connected and having fun.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"No need to cue the \u201cJaws\u201d theme song.
