關於SofTrak人工智慧果嶺

由美國VersaSport International, LLC. of Wichita, Kansas.獨家供應的SofTrak人工智慧果嶺，使用2層碎石層作為地基，既可以建造出令人滿意的果嶺波動起伏和輪廓，還有助於迅速良好的排水。

SofTrak特有的RQS石英矽砂填實系統，由VersaSport專門研製開發，採取特殊工藝，能夠使果嶺長久保持堅固。將ROS石英矽砂植入細密的Top-dressing人造草皮，可以保證高爾夫球在果嶺上平穩滾動，並可讓SofTrak人工智慧果嶺抓住150碼開外飛來的球。此外，SofTrak表面的草皮纖維特有紫外線防護功能，將使果嶺長期保持不變的綠色外觀。

除了世界各地的私家業主，許多商業人士也熱衷於在公司建造一座SofTrak果嶺，借此舉辦社交活動發展事業。從休閒娛樂到隨時隨地練習高爾夫，SofTrak的功能越來越強大，甚至一些高爾夫球場也開始將真草果嶺換成SofTrak人工智慧果嶺。

與真草果嶺相比，SofTrak人工智慧果嶺節省的不僅僅是建造成本，更重要的是，您勿需再為消滅病蟲害，割草等等一系列維護工作頭痛，SofTrak是真正讓您省心省力的大賽級高爾夫果嶺！

SofTrak卓越的品質更是獲得了許多高爾夫職業選手的青睞，像Fred Couples, T.C. Chen, Bruce Lietzke, Rich Beem, Steve Flesch, Donna Andrews等世界頂級高爾夫名將，均在其私家住宅建造了SofTrak人工智慧果嶺，讓他們可以盡情享受揮杆的樂趣！

中國第一座環保果嶺的誕生——SofTrak成功進入中國南方市場

楊董事長接觸高爾夫已經多年，目前是5家高爾夫球場的會員，球技也已經十分精湛，遺憾的就是除了下場外，能去練習的時間實在太少。於是，能夠擁有一個觸手可及的PGA標準果嶺，事業繁忙的他能夠在日理萬機之下撥空練習及放鬆成了楊董心中一直以來的夢想。雖然建造私人果嶺在當地早有先例，但是真草維護工作的繁瑣以及品質之不確定，卻讓他遲遲下不了決定，他無法忍受果嶺沒多久就變成棄之不舍，食之無味的雞肋。

一次偶然的機會楊董看到了我們Brightstone公司的網站（www.golf100.com），詫異的發現在美國有一種高科技環保果嶺——SofTrak，他隨即和我們取得聯繫，在經過多次溝通之後，我們深厚的專業底蘊和專業的景觀技術取得了楊董的信任，決定開中國SofTrak之先河，在自己的工廠裏修建一座果嶺，而當時的他，甚至還沒有看到過實際的作品。
對於楊董來說，他既是一位高爾夫球高手，又是一位成功的企業家，作為一家享譽國內外的知名燈飾公司的董事長，其對品位和品質的高追求勿庸置疑，當他決定建造SofTrak時，也向我們提出了嚴格的要求：“或者不做，要做，就做最好的！”

這又未嘗不是我們的宗旨！亞洲與美國的國情不同，相比美國客戶動輒要求的大空間，功能性，亞洲的土地是很珍貴的，尤其在中國這樣一個人口眾多的國家，城市土地真可謂寸土寸金！因此客戶對於果嶺的要求除了功能性之外，更強調綠化，景觀等視覺美感，這也意味著我們必須將西方的高科技和東方的美學完美結合，將每一寸土地的價值充分挖掘出來，讓客戶在猶如大自然的優美環境中，享受PGA大賽級的果嶺品質！這種感覺，就是楊董所要的。

果然，看著煥然一新的工廠空地，楊董非常滿意。他表示甚至比他想像中還要好，不僅果嶺品質突出，也增添了景觀美感，使工廠的硬性線條柔和了很多，為大家帶來了四季如春的美好感受！現在，無論是自己揮杆，還是和員工一起練習，都是十分令人愉悅的體會。他興致勃勃的談到明年的計畫，每年舉辦2次社交活動，Short Game年度比賽，明年以差點“0”之身份代表所屬球場參加全國業餘比賽……

“真的能永遠保持大賽級果嶺嗎？澆水？除草？等等都不需要？”雖然在之前已經充分瞭解，但楊董看到滿眼美麗的綠色，還是忍不住又一次的向我們詢問，當得到我們肯定的答復之後，他的欣喜溢於言表。綠色環保的高爾夫果嶺，他很高興能成為全中國第一人！

對於我們Brightstone來說，這第一步顯然是走的非常成功！整個過程不以低價求售，而是真正滿足客戶的需求，從設計、施工到最終成形，總共花了2個月的時間，這2個月，意味著我們已經成功將SofTrak引入中國南方市場，而楊董只是中國千萬個企業家其中的一員，我們完全有理由相信，這第一座果嶺的誕生，就像火車頭，將帶領著SofTrak轟轟烈烈的進軍中國！

“每場SofTrak對我都是一場重大挑戰，身為多家高爾夫球場的經營者，深知好的球場應具備的各項條件，然而為私人庭院創造新生命卻不容許任何失誤，將西方最新科技的SofTrak人工果嶺系統結合東方的禪學意境，由動態的揮杆、流水、微風、落葉，結合靜態的一草、一木、一花、一沙，所產生的完美畫面。讓擊球的過程中享受美麗的視覺所爆發出的無限喜悅和興奮。我們非常清楚沒有比完美而平衡的大自然更完美的事物了，這種自然的感覺，這就是我們的追求！”

SofTrak® Synthetic Putting Greens Debut in China, a Rising Star of the Global Golf Scene

(December 28th 2005) First Tour Quality Synthetic Green in China is Amenity for Factory President and Employees of Golden Friendship Investments Ltd; This Installation is Expected to be the First of Many in Asia Given the Luxury, High-Performance and Environmental-Sensitivity Characteristics of SofTrak

(WICHITA, Kansas) – VersaSport International, LLC, exclusive supplier of SofTrak® Synthetic Putting Greens ("SofTrak") – the high-performance turf for residential and commercial use that closely simulates the look and feel of natural grass greens without the maintenance problems – today announces that its Asian distributor and installer of SofTrak – Brightstone Management, LLC – designed and constructed a luxury SofTrak green for Golden Friendship Investments Ltd in Guangdong, China, the first SofTrak and tour-quality synthetic green built in the country.

The 2,700-square-foot green includes multiple holes cut into its tiered and undulating surface, as well as surrounding fringe, sand bunkers and teeing areas from which to chip from. The SofTrak green was built specifically for Mr. Tim Yang, President of Golden Friendship Investments Ltd, a manufacturing company which exports products to several major home decorating chains in the United States and Europe.

An excellent golfer who is a member of four golf courses and chairman of the local golf association where he lives, Mr. Yang had long been looking for a tour-quality synthetic turf green which he could have installed at his factory. Mr. Yang wanted a professional quality green located conveniently to the factory so he could practice whenever his busy schedule allowed. After discovering and testing SofTrak, which is being exclusively supplied and constructed in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong by Brightstone, Mr. Yang was convinced he had found the elite, high-quality synthetic chipping and putting surface he had long sought.

"The SofTrak green is better than I imagined it could be," says Mr. Yang. "It is absolutely beautiful and unbelievably realistic."

Combining both high performance and aesthetic beauty were imperative to Mr. Yang's installation at the factory, according Darsen Chen, Founder of Brightstone Management, LLC, which, in addition to being the exclusive SofTrak distributor in Asia, also owns and operates championship golf courses in the U.S. and Asia.

"The situations in Asia and the United States are completely different, given the difference in land available," says Mr. Chen. "Americans like big, functional greens of the highest quality, as do Asians. However, in China and Taiwan, land is precious and hard to come by near the major cities, which all have very large populations. Therefore, Asians pay more attention to the landscape and aesthetic value of their SofTrak greens. So we have to combine the high-tech sensibilities of the West with the environmental sensitivity of the East. We are very clear that nothing is more perfect than a balance with nature. So that is our purpose – to ensure that our SofTrak installations exude the feel of nature with excellent performance."

Mr. Yang's green at the factory (see attached image) accomplishes both mandates and met his expectations so well that he has already made plans for several social and short-game events at his SofTrak green for 2006, both for his employees as well as his golfing friends.

But most of all, Mr. Yang is excited by the prospect of further improving his short game and getting his handicap down to zero this year so he can compete for China's national amateur championship.

"This is an extremely exciting and dynamic time for China in many entrepreneurial ways, not the least of which is in the golf industry," says Asia SofTrak distributor and installer Mr. Chen of Brightstone. "Providing only the best-quality synthetic greens in Asia will ensure SofTrak's success here and Mr. Yang's happiness with his SofTrak green bodes well for us in that regard."

Further evidence of SofTrak's elite and superior performance can be found in the fact that several professional golf tour stars own and practice on SofTrak greens in the comfort and convenience of their private residences. These top players include Fred Couples, T.C. Chen, Bruce Lietzke, Rich Beem, Steve Flesch, Donna Andrews.

Prospective customers can learn more about SofTrak via Brightstone Golf Management's website ( www.golf100.com ), or by calling 1-800-540-4899 or visiting www.versasport.com.

About SofTrak Putting Greens

Exclusively supplied by VersaSport International, LLC, of Wichita, Kansas, SofTrak's cutting-edge construction process includes laying down two layers of crushed stone base, which enables undulations and contours to be designed into the green as well as quick, thorough drainage of water.

SofTrak's proprietary RQS in-fill – a sand-like material that is unique to the industry in that it resists hardening over time – is used to top-dress the fine, dense turf blades and ensures SofTrak greens provide consistent-rolling putts and accept shots into greens from as far as 150 yards. Also, the surface fibers of SofTrak greens are UV-ray resistant to help maintain the lush, green appearance.

In addition to thousands of homeowners worldwide, numerous commercial businesses are having SofTrak greens built at their venues as an amenity to their core business – from retirement communities and Bed & Breakfasts to golf course practice facilities and condominium complexes. SofTrak greens are even being used to replace real turfgrass greens on regulation golf courses.

SofTrak greens cost a fraction of natural turf greens without the maintenance headaches and expenses (diseased greens, chemical applications, specialized mowing equipment, etc.).
