“In the Spring of 2011, we were all very excited to unveil the first OB Sports App; and now, one year later, we are thrilled to announce the next generation,” stated Phil Green, Chief Operating Officer of OB Sports Golf Management. “The evidence is clear that golfers and travelers in general are increasingly relying on mobile devices to access information and make online reservations. Therefore, we made a conscience decision to be on the cutting edge of this growing trend by delivering our range of products and services via the app. Golfers may download it for free, locate the nearest OB Sports managed facility, learn more about all that the club has to offer and connect directly with the course near them,” added Green.

Under development for the last few months, the new OB Sports Golf App improves upon the original. “Although our first app was a big hit with users, advances in technology allowed us to create an even more useful and functional OB Sports Golf App,” stated Kris Strauss, vice president of sales and marketing for OB Sports. “We analyzed the guest traffic data, in addition to simply asking, to determine how the app was being used and upgraded and expanded the functionality of those frequently used features. Although we expect a healthy shelf life for the new app, we’re already looking forward to discovering new technologies,” added Strauss.
