CAL POLY POMONA ON-CAMPUS SHOOTOUT: How to introduce golf onto a college campus: We are learning alot about how to bring golf onto campus and the steps needed to make it effective, safe and tranctionable. Step one is to create a fun modified driving range experience so players and passers by can check out 'golf on campus' and see that its fun, safe and accessible. Then create a small almost - golf course of maybe five holes for those who want to take the next step. We found everyone had a blast and they now want us back to create other events.

LMU ALMOSTGOLF OPEN 2006:The LMU Open was our first attempt at true almostGolf art direction and 'player flow'. As a result it was a blast to create. We went a completely different direction from the first LMU event we produced a few years ago. That event wandered through the campus. This event took 'Golf' to a whole new level of spectator involvement by tightening up the course into the 'sunken garden' area of campus (4 acres) and creating what we like to call a 'Stadium Golf' course where all the action takes place within a pretty confined 'stadium' environment and central clubhouse. In fact, we sandwiched the clubhouse with two incoming holes (7&13) and three outgoing holes (1,5,10) so it was kind the 'control central' hub of a wheel. You really can't do this with real golf balls because they are massively dangerous and go way too far. But with an off-course safe golf ball, everything changes.

WE WON THE TIVO AWARD FOR LEAST TIVO'D COMMERCIAL OF 2007! We launched the spring 2007 season with two commercials showing people hitting around their yards, parks, schoolyards etc. AND WE WON A TIVO AWARD! One day we got a real paper letter that said basically that people actually stopped forwarding through their commercials to watch Dave Pelz and others hit over a house and into a pool. It also might be that everyone yerns to play golf around the neighborhood, but have never been able...until now. Thanks Dave. This is the ultimate golf training aid!

JUNIOR GOLF INSTRUCTION...OFF THE GOLF COURSE: Thanks to the almostGolf ball, you can now teach kids golf most anywhere. This is revolutionary because in the past, (only 4 years ago) kids seldom learned golf because 'kids don't have cars', and few parents can afford the time, money and travel to bring their child to a dedicated facility on a regular basis.

UNLV CAMPUS DRIVING RANGE:  We found an almostGolfer in our midst. We set up the UNLV event very much like CAL POLY POMONA with a modified driving range with several hitting bays and a small course for people to get their feet wet. But this time we took one more step forward. I met a kid who's father had purchased the almostGolf golf ball the first year we were in business. And as my new found friend was plucking 60 yard shots into a water hazard without even trying, he explained how he had played for at least 12 hours the first day he got our balls. He even created his own almost-golf course. I was blown away by his skills. He out classed everyone with a golf club that day. I guess he proves the point. Practice makes perfect.

THIS IS THE SECOND COMMERCIAL THAT WON THE TIVO AWARD FOR LEAST TIVO'D COMMERCIAL OF 2007! We launched the spring 2007 season with two commercials showing people hitting around their yards, parks, schoolyards etc. AND WE WON A TIVO AWARD! One day we got a real paper letter that said basically that people actually stopped forwarding through their commercials to watch Dave Pelz and others hit over a house and into a pool. It also might be that everyone yerns to play golf around the neighborhood, but have never been able...until now. Thanks Dave. We are the ultimate play and practice golf ball.
