Tocumwal Golf Club raising the bar with NFC QR Tap and Tee System



With assistance from the experienced team at 36tee.com, Tocumwal Golf Club is amongst the first worldwide to introduce a revolutionary new technique that allows players to identify the best way to play a hole. It’s easy to access and even simpler to operate. If you’re a member of the Tocumwal Golf Club, you don’t need any technical expertise or professional coaching to find out the details of a particular hole and the right way to play it. You can access this information quickly and easily any time with a single tap of your smartphone.
Most smartphones are pre-equipped with NFC readers. NFC (short for Near Field Communication) is a technology that lets users tap their NFC activated phones against tags to allow them to access certain data. It works with close range entities, so you need to tap your phone on the tag to gain access to the information.
By installing this exciting new technology, Tocumwal Golf Club are ensuring their members play a better game. The Tocumwal team has collaborated with 36tee.com and installed NFC signs at holes, carts, and in pro shops to assist the players.
How does it help a golfer?
If you’re a player and are about to play a certain hole, all you have to do is tap your phone against the NFC sign on that hole. This will activate a code that will show you the best way to play the hole. The instructions will include audio as well as visuals. In using this technology Tocumwal golf members get a distinct advantage over players belonging to other golf clubs. All you need to do in order for this to work is make sure the NFC reader of your phone is switched on.
36Tee.com have also installed the NFC tags on the carts and in the pro shops, so with the help of QR codes you can be redirected to the relevant website where you can find more details about a certain product.
This fresh technology from 36Tee.com is a relative newcomer to the market and isn’t yet widely available in all the best golf courses in Australia. Tocumwal Golf Club is among the few golf courses that have implemented this cutting edge technique making them amongst the top 100 golf courses in Australia.
