Kevin Imes, Founder and CEO of ReelGOLF, joined Rob Thomas on the Club + Resort Talks podcast to discuss the revolutionary technology. ReelGOLF, an on-course video system that captures player shots on signature par 3 holes for easy social sharing using AI technology, is now available to all players in beta mode with tee times on The Hay at Pebble Beach.
While Pebble is one of the latest course to adopt the technology, ReelGOLF installations are up and running or scheduled at several other properties, including Old Corkscrew Golf Club in Florida (Jack Nicklaus); Carter Plantation Golf Course in Louisiana; Seascape Golf Club in California; Druids Glen in Ireland; and soon to be several courses throughout Scotland (with many more to come in 2025).
