(eap) The American company Adventure Golf & Sports (AGS) has announced that it will be the exclusive distributor and installer of RemarkaBall© in the United States and Canada. RemarkaBall is a new type of indoor miniature golf, developed and produced by Jora Vision in the Netherlands. In contrast to classic minigolf, RemarkaBall is won by the player with the highest score, and it is not just a matter of scoring the ball on each course, but there are various challenges waiting for the players. RemarkaBall basically works as follows: At the start, players are given an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) wristband and enter their name at a console. After checking in at a hole, the players are shown how to play the hole via video. The holes automatically count the bonus points while the players enter their own number of putts into the console. Depending on the number and type of holes selected, a RemarkaBall facility usually requires a minimum area of 2,200 square feet.
“We’re excited to be working with Jora Vision and introducing RemarkaBall to local markets,” says Scott Lundmark, President of AGS. “RemarkaBall mini-golf holes are easily installed and combine well with bar and restaurant operations as well as other venues since they provide entertainment that increases guest time on site. RemarkaBall’s integrated technology helps speed up the game and leaves guests ample time to sip on their favorite beverage, enjoy some savory bites or socialize with friends. Clients are able to choose from a library of existing golf hole and game designs to build their own unique high-tech mini-golf attraction. For example, some golf holes actually use eye / hand coordination with the golf ball, such as Foosball or Tilt, instead of always putting the ball. There’s even one mini-golf hole available that’s reminiscent of the game Twister which requires you to balance your hands and feet on specific spots on the hole layout, making each shot a physical challenge as well!”. ■
