AUTOMATED BALL DELIVERY AND TEE-UP SYSTEM

THE WORLD’S  NUMBER 1 PROVEN SOLUTION FOR THE PREMIUM DRIVING RANGE

INCREASE YOUR RANGE’S REVENUE PER CUSTOMER BY OVER 30%

David Golf is proud to be the Australian and South East Asian agent for  the world’s #1 driving range system which allows your customers to have their own individual tee station, electronically operated to deliver:

• Automated tee-ups (no buckets)
• Variable tee-up heights at the touch of a button
• Easy card pre payment system handily located adjacent the tee area
• Significantly reduces your staff and operating overheads
• And, most importantly, evidence proves the golfer hits 30% plus more balls thereby increasing your revenue.

1.  Pre-Paid Cards
Customers purchase a prepaid, pre-programmed debt card in any denomination and insert it directly into the NorthSTAR III Tower.  Play begins immediately eliminating the time and hassle that purchasing a bucket of golf balls creates.

Prepaid cards are sold in multiple card denominations.  This results in larger purchases, repeat business, customer loyalty and free advertising for the range.  Additionally, the combination of the pre-paid card system and the automated tee-up results in a higher turn over per tee station.

2.  Automated Tee-Up
The golf ball automatically tees-up every 4 seconds and is fully adjustable.  Customers can adjust tee height from 0 to 52mm in 1mm increments.

The progressive tee height method is a great tool for golfers.  It allows them to find the correct tee height for their swing.

The automation eliminates the time a golfer uses bending over to tee a ball.  This allows for a more productive practice session.

3.  Tower Display
The weather proof touch screen displays remaining number of golf balls on the debt card and tee height, the customer adjusts the tee height by pressing the up and down arrows on the screen.  This allows the user to find just the right tee height.

A new feature for the NorthSTAR III is the advertising window in the top left portion of the screen.  This can be utilised as a great way to communicate range or pro-shop specials to the customer. 

4.  Increased Revenue
Each station can generate more than 180 balls hit per hour.  This results in an increase in your gross sales by at least 30%

Customers love the benefits of automation.  From the beginner to the avid golfer, this system will increase not only your sales but overall customer satisfaction. 

5.  Reduced Labour and Overhead Costs
Once balls are loaded into the pre-soak tank they are automatically washed, dried and delivered by a quiet screw-drive conveyor to each tee-station, all under computer control.

From the pre-soak tank to the tee, our systems completely automate the driving range.  This increases management efficiency and customer convenience.

6.  RMS Software
The Range Management Software (RMS) was developed to provide range owners complete control and flexibility in operating their facilities.  The RMS will improve management decisions with daily sales figures, number of balls hit and total customers.  This information is organized on a hourly, daily, weekly or monthly basis.

Each stations status, including number of balls, minutes of use, card denomination and operation mode can be monitored by the RMS in real time. 

• Up to four different prices per ball, per day can be programmed to change automatically every day.
• Special holiday or peak pricing is easily programmed.
• The ability to track repeat customers (ie money spent) so that you may offer incentives, bonuses and discounts for their loyalty.

7.  Screw Drive Conveyor
Range Automation Systems has developed the least labour intensive golf ball transportation system on the market today.

Our systems are fabricated from anodized aluminium and will deliver up to 24,000 golf balls per hour.  It is also whisper quiet, lightweight, rust proof and easy to maintain.

8.  Stock Box/Tower
The screw drive conveyor delivers a steady supply of golf balls to this appealing tower.  Each tower has a capacity of 600 golf balls.  The tower then delivers the golf balls to the tee up machine.

All aspects of the system are controlled by advanced computer control and are accessible by RAS technicians back at their headquarters.
