ProTracGPS Opens 12th U.S. Franchise Territory

December 8, 2005

Robust, Low-Cost Golf GPS System Taking Industry by Storm




FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 8, 2005 -- PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL (December 7, 2005) — ProTrac Franchise Systems, Inc., the emerging leader in golf GPS systems, announced the opening of franchise territories in Jacksonville, Florida and Hilton Head, South Carolina.

The company, in its first year of granting franchises, now has 12 territories open. The others are located in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, Ohio and Texas.

Tyce Fitzmorris, ProTrac CEO, also announced that the company has installed its GPS system, ProTracGPS, at two major courses that host PGA events, Mirasol Country Club in Palm Beach Gardens and Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio.

“To have two courses of this stature choose ProTracGPS over any other system on the market speaks volumes about ProTrac and the benefits it provides to both the course and its golfers,” said Fitzmorris.

The ProTrac franchise opportunity was launched in January at the PGA Show in Orlando. Franchisees are able to provide ProTrac to courses with no upfront costs and no long-term commitments, and on a per-round fee basis that every course can afford.

“Combined with the recent announcement by the USGA regarding its decision to permit the use of GPS in tournament play beginning in 2006, we are more confident than ever that we are at the right place at the right time in this industry,” said Fitzmorris.

ProTracGPS features full-color graphics and a simple “no-touch” operating option that enables golfers of all ages and skill levels to benefit from cutting-edge GPS technology. ProTrac automatically displays a full-color overview of a hole when the golfer reaches the tee. In addition, distances to hazards and other reachable points from the tee are displayed without requiring interaction from the golfer. Upon leaving the tee, distances to the front, middle, and back of the green are automatically displayed on the screen for easy viewing.

ProTracGPS also provides advanced capabilities including the interactive “Virtual Caddy,” which offers:

• A high-resolution, touch-screen color display of each hole. By simply touching any point on the hole, the distance from the golfer to that point—and from the point to the center of the green—are displayed.

• An end to searching for in-ground course markers and pacing off distances from existing landmarks, which helps courses speed play.

• Hole and yardage information that helps with club selection and shot-making decisions.

Each of these features translates into outstanding revenue-generating potential and higher player retention for golf courses. The faster play associated with ProTracGPS equates to a higher yield of daily rounds for the golf course, increasing greens fee revenue. The ProTracGPS system offers wireless course management features including cart-tracking and instant messaging with the carts, which helps courses more easily manage the pace of play and communicate with golfers when necessary.
