Bishopsbriggs Groupon Offer

Led by teaching professionals, Iain Pender and Campbell Donaldson, Bishopbriggs employed a modern approach to promoting the arrival of eAcademy, running an exclusive offer on the popular ‘Deal of the Day’ website, Groupon. The offer combined a standard lesson with one of the Bishopbriggs pros and then a detailed online lesson analysis, delivered using eAcademy technology, all with a huge Groupon discount. The offer certainly had the desired effect as an amazing 317 individuals signed up!

The eAcademy software and web platform employed at Bishopbriggs allows teaching professionals to capture a customer’s swing, perform detailed analysis and then produce an individual lesson summary, complete with audio commentary. This lesson summary is then uploaded to the organisation’s fully branded, online platform and at the same time, emailed directly to the customer who can view their lesson summary instantly on computer, tablet or smartphone. Furthermore, the customer is able to sign in to the eAcademy at any time, to review their lesson summaries or any specific teaching content their coach has assigned to them, such as short game tips and putting drills. Finally, they can book their next lesson through our brand-new booking calendar, fully integrated with PayPal, or even upload their swing for an online lesson.

Please watch the video below to learn more about how this system works.

The Toughest Major? Congressional Awaits

Jun 152011
 

US open congressional 2011 The Toughest Major? Congressional AwaitsWhilst not having the spectacular surroundings of Augusta, or the grand traditions and regalia of the British Open, The US Open often produces the highest drama of golf’s four majors. The tournament hosts, The USGA, do not enjoy a US Open course taking a beating from the field and the tournament often produces much higher winning scores than normally seen on tour. They make the course long, the greens unforgiving and the pin locations treacherous. Last year, Northern Irishman, Graeme McDowell, triumphed at Pebble Beech on even par and in both 2007 and 2006 the winning score was +5.

This year’s venue, The Congressional Country Club in Maryland, looks like it should live up to this challenging tradition. The championship Blue Course plays a colossal 7,574 from the competition tees and is renowned for it’s dangerous water hazards and huge trees guarding the fairways. Indeed, during WWII the course even served as a military training ground due to its varied terrain and gradients.
The USGA have once again picked out some exciting pairings, notable highlights include: Mickelson, McIlroy & Dustin Johnson in one group and the worlds top 3 ranked players, Donald, Westwood & Kaymer, in another. Once again however, the number one draw in golf, Tiger Woods, is missing from the field as he continues to battle achilles and knee injuries.

As always with the US Open, predictions are hard to make and the only certainty is that a whole lot of drama will unfold before late Sunday evening. Who would have predicted the 30-year-old Ulsterman being the last man standing walking to the 18th at Pebble Beach last year? Below is a video of reigning champion McDowell’s swing in super slow-motion for you all to enjoy and envy.
