NGF entered into a new three-year data licensing agreement with The Weather Channel Interactive, Inc. NGF has been supplying the golf course information featured on weather.com since 2003. The new agreement officially extends the relationship to 2011.
Weather.com ranks as one of the most popular consumer Web sites, providing daily golf forecasts and detailed directory listings for every active golf course in the U.S. The golf course directory sections of weather.com now feature a "Powered by NGF" icon where users will be able to revise course information. The revisions will be forwarded to NGF Database Services for review and verification.
Current NGF data licensing clients include consumer-based Web sites such as GolfLink.com, GolfNow.com, NetHandicap.com, MyCaddy.com, GolfingMyWay.com, PlayersPass.com, GetGolf.com, and product application companies like NAVTEQ, DENSO, UPlay, iMapData and Never-Search.
