ClubCorp has partnered with V1 Sports to bring interactive online golf lessons to its members across the U.S.
V1, a video swing analysis company, is offering lessons with ClubCorp’s teaching professionals through the new ClubCorp Online Golf Academy found on the free V1 Golf mobile app and the V1 Pro app and software system for teaching pros.
“I can’t think of a better way to stay connected to your local pro and club at this unprecedented time in history than to reach them via your smartphone and work on the particulars of your golf game,” said V1 Sports CEO Bryan Finnerty. “It’s rewarding to see ClubCorp once again lead the way in the golf industry to bring extraordinary service and unique touchpoints to the members of their distinguished collection of clubs.”
To introduce the ClubCorp Online Golf Academy powered by V1 Sports, every member was entitled to redeem complimentary online golf lessons on the newly-launched platform.
Dynamic remote golf lessons are powered by V1’s tools for video swing capture and sharing as well as dynamic tools that enable coaches to create detailed video lessons that include voice-over instruction and visual feedback through telestration. Members of ClubCorp Clubs can download the V1 Golf App from the iOS App Store and designate the “ClubCorp Online Golf Academy” as their preferred instruction provider. Then, they can submit videos of their swings to a ClubCorp Online Golf Academy instructor to receive lesson feedback and maintain communication with the pro.
“At this time when so many golfers are looking for ways to stay connected with golf, V1 Sports is the perfect partner to help bring ClubCorp’s trusted network of teaching professionals and their members together using this unique Online Golf Academy lesson platform,” said ClubCorp’s Senior Vice President of Golf Operations, Mark Gore.
V1 has seen users surpass four-million in online lessons since the platform first launched.
“Golf is so much of a uniting power in the lives of those who love playing the game as well as those who teach for a living. Now, more than ever, we want to encourage golfers to reconnect to their lesson routines and support their favorite teaching pro,” Finnerty said. “Just as mobile teleconferencing companies like Zoom are filling a need for business professionals, V1 is proud to help ClubCorp be that turnkey solution that keeps golfers and their teachers in touch even when remote communication is their only option.”
