ProLink, Elumina partner with PGAs of Europe

Tempe, Ariz. – ProLink Solutions, through its key distributor Elumina, has been named the official Global Positioning Satellite partner of the PGAs of Europe.

The PGAs of Europe will promote Elumina and the ProLink system to its roughly 12,000 members in 34 countries and individual courses seeking GPS systems.

PGAs of Europe facilities with ProLink are better equipped to manage large tournaments and corporate outings, thus attracting additional events and incremental profits, the company says.

ProLink and Elumina join Beko, Chervo, Eaton Golf Pride, Glenmuir, Golfsmith Europe, Golf Europe, Powakaddy and Red Bull as corporate partners of the PGAs of Europe.

“The PGAs of Europe welcome ProLink and Elumina to their family of sponsors and supporters,” says Sandy Jones, chairman of the PGAs of Europe. “We believe that we only associate ourselves with the best and leaders in their field and both ProLink and Elumina are certainly in this category.”

With offices in the United Kingdom, Spain and France, Elumina is building the ProLink brand across Europe and the Middle East with its in-house engineering, mapping, technical services and innovative financing options.

Elumina is pioneering a multi-national advertising program enabling courses to offset the cost of, and even profit from, the installation of ProLink GPS. The system is fully administered by Elumina and its advertising partners, and courses are paid monthly on total rounds played and average price-per-round. The financing and advertising programs provide a complete, turn-key marketing solution capable of funding capital projects, equipment purchases and other on and off-course programs.

High-profile European courses already ordering installations of ProLink GPS through Elumina include Valderrama, Alicante, La Moraleja and La Sella golf clubs in Spain, and Brocket Hall, Kilworth Springs and Whittlebury Park in England. Other installations are scheduled for late 2005 and early 2006.

“We are delighted to have forged a business link with the PGAs of Europe and their membership of national PGAs across Europe and beyond,” says Angela Catlin, Elumina’s sales and marketing director. “The world’s leading ProLink system, besides being the best of breed today, is far more affordable than many would suppose. Any club manager with a fleet of golf carts can benefit hugely from having the system installed.”
