GOLFBOARDING COMES TO THE HUDSON VALLEY
Links at Union Vale introduces first fleet of GolfBoards in the NY-NJ region
“If every golf course offered GolfBoards, golf would be the most popular sport in the world,” said Stina Steinberg, Golf Digest Global Golf Director.
The Links at Union Vale is an 18-hole championship golf course, that is “forever changing the way golfers experience the game,” said Robert Caeners, General Manager at The Links. “GolfBoarding is safe, fun, and easy for everyone to learn. Your golf game will never be the same after you play a round on the GolfBoard.”
Powered by an environmentally friendly lithium-ion battery, the GolfBoard is an easy-to-ride vehicle that adds a new level of fun and excitement for golfers of all ages, allowing golfers to ‘Surf the Earth’ in a way that feels similar to snowboarding, surfing, or skateboarding.
“It is as intuitive to operate as it is fun to ride,” said Caeners. “’GolfBoarding’ changes the golfing experience, without changing the spirit and traditions of the game.”
The GolfBoard is a cross between a skateboard and a cart and is built specifically for golf from the ground up. It is a four-wheel-drive, gear-driven, posi-traction golf transport vehicle. The user is always in full control of both the speed and direction. The integrated thumb throttle controls the speed, while the user controls the direction through body movement.
Due to the popularity of the GolfBoard, Caeners recommends that golfers make sure to reserve one when they call for a tee time. He added that there is a 15-minute training required before using the GolfBoard for the first time, so golfers should make sure to arrive early.
The Links at Union Vale is a premier Hudson Valley golf course conveniently located to Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York City. It is a challenging course constructed on a nearly treeless site with spectacular views of the Hudson Hills and the Catskill Mountains and includes five sets of tees that stretch from 5,198 yards to nearly 7000 yards from the tips.
