ST. LOUIS, May 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rapsodo, the company known for helping athletes achieve their maximum potential by providing advanced data in real time, announces a partnership with Good Good Golf for the Good Good Championship, a four-day event that kicks off today. Rapsodo’s MLM2PRO™ will be used throughout the event, which gives 63 golfers the chance to compete for 12 separate cash prizes with the winner taking home $50,000.
Good Good Golf, a team of digital content creators with a YouTube channel seeing more than 1.5 million combined subscribers, hand-picked 63 golfers to partake in the Good Good Championship at the Westin Kierland Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona. A qualifier will narrow the field down to 12 golfers, who will all get part of the $100,000 purse.
Multiple Rapsodo MLM2PRO™ units will be set up for the public to test out at the driving range of the Dobson Ranch Golf Club for a night event tonight, where over 1,000 people are expected. Rapsodo will have four range spots where the MLM2PRO™ will be used. Rapsodo will also be the official shot tracer sponsor of the event. Good Good will also film a contest for the 12 participants who make it to the final round of the championship where they will compete in a separate competition using Rapsodo Combines with the MLM2PRO™ device. The golfer with the highest Combines score in that challenge will win $1,000. The MLM2PRO™ will also be used to capture metrics of golfers involved in the championship on some of the holes at Westin Kierland Golf Club.
“Rapsodo is a brand that focuses on quality, which is why partnering with Good Good Golf made sense,” Rapsodo Director of Golf Shawn Curtis said. “Good Good constantly strives to produce high quality content, and Rapsodo produces high quality devices. The MLM2PRO™ will help make the Good Good Championship that much better.”
The MLM2PRO™ is a mobile launch monitor and golf simulator that provides multiple swing replay options, advanced metrics including swing and more than 30,000 simulated courses out of the box. Released in January, the device can also show spin metrics when using Callaway® RPT™ Chrome Soft X® golf balls.
“We’ve chosen to partner with Rapsodo, because the MLM2PRO™ is a high-quality launch monitor that is affordable and accessible for our fans,” Matt Kendrick, CEO of Good Good Golf said. “We’re excited to join forces with a brand committed to helping everyday golfers improve their game while ultimately having fun on the course.”
The Good Good Championship begins today and ends May 11. It will be uploaded to YouTube at a later date.
