ALLGOLFTV (www.ALLGOLFTV.com) has signed an agreement with Dave Schneider of BestCourses.com (www.BestCourses.com) and Gerry Kirkpatrick of GreenFees.com to cross promote and widen level of service offered to top rated Golf Courses and Golfers across the nation. The three companies will now be able to offer Golf Courses the ability to advertise and reserve tee times in real time via GreenFees (www.GreenFees.com) , offer video tours of the courses and surrounding amenities via AllGolfTV, and have the recognition of being a top rated course according to Best Courses’ rating system. 

 

BestCourses.com (www.BestCourses.com) is the online guide to the top golf courses across the United States. Browse the BestCourses.com site by state or golf course name. Become a member and you can manage and improve your game with the game management system, create personalized Golf Trails, and network with fellow golfers around your area and the US. If you’re looking for a game or to fill a foursome, look no further than the BestCourses.com members section.

 

GreenFees.com (www.GreenFees.com) provides the golfer with efficient and easy access to course tee time advertisements with an optional choice for selection of matched companions, products, services and travel resources in an exclusive golf internet environment that allows communities and individual members to connect.  The benefit to the Golf Course is the ability to advertise their available tee times to a wider audience and through a completely automated venue which in turns allows for more tee times sold and less expense in the process of reserving and selling available tee times.

 

“The value that this partnership brings to all three companies is tremendous and really moves all three companies in a direction for quicker growth.  This is beneficial not only for all of us, but for the courses that are part of the network.”  Said Eileen Luttrell, President of AllGolfTV.

Randy Pausch is a Professor of Computer Science, Human-Computer Interaction, and Design at Carnegie Mellon, and co-founder of the Entertainment Technology Center. He also serves as the Director of Carnegie Mellon’s Stage 3 research group, where he oversees the development of Alice (www.Alice.org)  which is a computer software program that allows its users top build virtual worlds.

He was a National Science Foundation Presidential Young Investigator and a Lilly Foundation Teaching Fellow. In 1995, he spent a Sabbatical with the Walt Disney Imagineering Virtual Reality Studio, and currently consults with Imagineering on interactive theme park attractions, particularly for the “DisneyQuest” virtual-reality based theme park. Dr. Pausch is the author or co-author of five books and over 60 reviewed journal and conference proceedings articles, and his primary interests are human-computer interaction, entertainment technology, and undergraduate education.

Pausch, a professor who’s dying of pancreatic cancer, has bumped A New Earth, Eckhart Tolle’s spiritual self-help guide, from atop USA TODAY’s Best-Selling Books list and he was recently interviewed by Diane Sawyer on Prime Time Live. The Last Lecture can be viewed on AllGolfTV (www.AllGolfTV.com) by visiting the On Demand box. 

 

“BestCourses.com, GreenFees.com, and AllGolfTV are tremendously honored to have the opportunity to celebrate Dr. Pausch, those he has inspired and those he will continue to touch. We hope that we can do his vision justice.” Said Gerry Kirkpatrick, Founder and President of GreenFees.

 

The initial tournament will be held at single location near Carnegie Mellon University that will be announced soon. Subsequent tournaments will be held a multiple locations each month and this Press Release serves as a call to golf courses to fill out an application to participate.
